The Basic Shapes

The Revolvers has a few different parts than the Pistol. The most important difference is a Cylinder( shown in red) instead of a clip.

The trigger ratchets the cylinder around to bring the next full chamber up to the barrel. Pulling back on the trigger also releases the (green) hammer.. depending on single or double action...don't worry about it...and smacks the butt of the bullet and sends the lead flying down the barrel.Make sure the top of the barrel lines up with the top of the cylinder so the bullet can exit the gun safely...fo you.

Reloading

There's a few styles of revolver. Some have the cylinder flip out to the side. Some, like this one, pivot foward for quick loading (ala TRIGUN). You could take off the whole empty cylinder and slap another loaded one in there.

Detailing:

Have fun with it. I gave this one a laser sight under the barrel and a nice ergonomic grip so it doesn't look like an old cowboy gun.

There's some really sweet "New Style" revolvers. Check out the gun manufacturer links on the previous page.
