Why do we still use revolvers today if pistols can hold more ammo and shoot faster?
In: Physics
Idk why everyone here is saying revolvers are mechanically simpler, try disassembling one compared to an automatic pistol, i think they are mistaking it with easier to operate which i agree with since you just put round in chamber then slap it in and then pull trigger vs an automatic where you need to operate a slide or a safety first.
Revolvers also have two advantages that i can name which are that they are easier to conceal (j frames in pockets) and if a round doesnt strike a primer you can pull the trigger again to fire the next round opposed to an autoloader which needs to be cleared with the slide.
