This video from the Royal Armouries explores an early six-shot revolver dating to around 1680, predating Samuel Colt's more famous designs. The presenter highlights its significance as an 'automatic revolver' where the cylinder rotates on its own, a key innovation over manually-indexed cylinders. It details the loading process, the internal mechanism for cylinder rotation, and the flintlock firing system, contrasting it with later percussion revolvers.
