While Samuel Colt is generally considered the inventor of the present day revolver, there were earlier revolving firearms, such as the "pepperbox" pistols. However, the grandaddy of the revolver was created by a man with the unlikely name of James Puckle in the 1700s. See the link below to a WikiPedia article on the Puckle Gun.
