The disadvantage of a Colt compared to semi-automatic weapons is the significantly lower number of shots and you also have to find time for reloading. In fact, there are also revolvers that can fire significantly more than 6 shots. Here, for example, a Colt with an impressive 20 shots and a sophisticated system that can "process" two drums. Fascinating technology:
Guns ranged from tiny folding-trigger 5mm models to massive 12mm weapons, with capacities from 5 to 20 shots. This particular one is both mechanically and visually interesting. It is a twin-barrel example, with a 20-round cylinder using chamber in two concentric rings. The inner ring of ten rounds are fired from the lower barrel and the outer ring of 10 rounds are shot through the top barrel. As one cocks and fires, the gun automatically alternates between the two. It is a clever way to get a large capacity without the cylinder become too ridiculously huge. Visually, of course, this revolver is pretty arresting, with its complete coverage of decorative gold embellishing and fancy case.
