Oh my, YES! The Ruger .327 Magnum is a 7 shot, I have four .22 revolvers that are 9 shot- and there were antique revolvers-called Pepperboxes-with HUGE cylinders that held as many as 40 shots. (And my plain clothes weapon is FIVE shot .38 Special).
A bomb is more powerful than a bullet its obvious
A bullet from a revolver is less than one inch in diameter and is a projectile.
Depending on the gr/ the harder you squeeze the more speed the bullet travels(lol)/
There were probably more factors that contributed to it, but...You could guess that carrying more than one, ready to fire, bullet in your gun would be advantages in a situation where you would need said firearm. A revolver has that on say a muzzle loaded pistol.A revolver, like a Colt Peacemaker, is mechanically simpler than a semi-auto like the Colt 1911. Which would explain why they were invented and produced first.Also, generally, a revolver will produce more power than a semi-auto or automatic pistol firing the same round.
The best technique for accurately shooting a .38 caliber bullet in a .357 revolver is to use .38 special ammunition, which is specifically designed for .357 revolvers. This ammunition is slightly shorter than .357 rounds, allowing for better accuracy and performance in the revolver. Additionally, practicing proper shooting fundamentals such as grip, stance, and trigger control will help improve accuracy when shooting a .38 caliber bullet in a .357 revolver.
Not reliably. The 9mm bullet is a bit smaller in diameter than a .38, and the cartridge has no rim- it will push into the cylinder. Brass is also likely to split if it DOES fire.
The gun weighs MUCH more than the bullet.
Possible that you mean a .38 Spl +P. That is a .38 Special revolver cartridge that is loaded to a higher energy than standard.
There can be more or less than 12 depending on the specific revolver and just how far down you disassemble it.
More than a 22, less than a 357
A gun is any kind of fire arm from a small handheld weapon up to a large cannon. A revolver is usually a handheld weapon. It holds more than one cartridge containing powder and bullet in a magazine that is part of the weapon. Each cartridge in aligned in turn with the firing pin and gun barrel for firing by revolvingthe cartridge magazine. Hence the name, revolver.
