2 Overview
3 Loading and unloading
3.Fixed cylinder designs
3.Elisha Collier patented a flintlock revolver in Britain in 1818, and significant numbers were being produced in London by 1822.In 1835, Samuel Colt patented a type of revolver that became immensely popular in the Wild West in the second half of the 19th century.According to Samuel Colt, he came up with the idea for the revolver while at sea, inspired by the capstan winch, which had a ratchet and pawl mechanism on it, a version of which was used in his guns to rotate the cylinder.However, revolvers had existed for some time before that (see James Puckle).Revolvers proliferated largely due to Colt's ability as a salesman.Overview
A revolver works by having several firing chambers arranged in a circle in a cylindrical block that are brought into alignment with the firing mechanism and barrel one at a time.In contrast, in a double action revolver, squeezing the trigger can pull back the hammer to cock the gun as well as serving to release the hammer.Most modern double action revolvers can also be fired in single action mode, which serves to improve the accuracy by reducing the force and distance required to pull the trigger.Because the effort required to cock the hammer is part of the firing action in double action revolvers, they can generally be fired faster than a single action, but at the cost of reduced accuracy in the hands of most shooters.Bianchi manufactures a product known as a "speedstrip".Speedstrips cannot reload a completely empty revolver as rapidly as a speedloader, but are less expensive, flatter, and more flexible when it comes to partial reloads.Compared to autoloading handguns, a revolver is often simpler to operate (despite often being more mechanically complex) and may have greater reliability (depending on factors such as firmness of grip, ammunition used, and degree of maintenance and lubrication provided to the firearm).With a revolver, this is not necessary as none of the energy for cycling the revolver comes from the firing of the cartridge, but is supplied by the user either through cocking the hammer or, in a double action design, by just squeezing the trigger.Over the long period of development of the revolver, many calibers have been used.Magnum, famous from Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" films; and the .Long Colt, used in the Colt revolver of the "Wild West".Wesson Model 500 is the most powerful production revolver ever created, using the .The LeMat Revolver, an unusual revolver from the American Civil War era with 9 revolving chambers firing bullets and a center barrel firing shot.Their lower ammunition capacities and relatively longer reload times compared to autoloading pistols are the main reasons for the switchover that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s.Revolver technology does live on in other weapons used by the military.Some autocannons and grenade launchers use mechanisms similar to revolvers, and some riot shotguns use spring loaded cylinders holding up to 12 rounds.Front loading
Often called muzzle loading, the first revolvers were more accurately described as front loading.The first practical revolvers were caplocks or cap and ball revolvers, because the caplock method of priming was the first to be compact enough to make a practical revolver feasible.Fixed cylinder designs
In many of the first generation of cartridge revolvers (especially those that were converted after manufacture), the pin on which the cylinder revolved was removed, and the cylinder taken from the gun for loading.Later models used a loading gate at the rear of the cylinder that allowed one cartridge at a time to be accessed for loading, while a rod under the barrel could be pressed backwards to extract the fired case.Most revolvers using this method of loading are single action revolvers.Since the cylinder in these revolvers is firmly attached at the front and rear of the frame, and since the frame is typically full thickness all the way around, fixed cylinder revolvers are inherently strong designs.Because of this, many modern large caliber hunting revolvers tend to be based on the fixed cylinder design.The next method used for loading and unloading cartridge revolvers was the top break design.In a top break revolver, the frame is hinged at the bottom front of the cylinder.In most top break revolvers, the act of pivoting the barrel and cylinder operates an extractor that pushes the cartridges in the chambers back far enough that they will fall free, or can be removed easily.Fresh rounds are then placed into the cylinder, either one at a time or all at once with either a speedloader or a moon clip.The barrel and cylinder are then rotated back and locked in place, and the revolver is ready to fire.Since the frame is in two parts, held together by a latch on the top rear of the cylinder, top break revolvers are relatively weak, and cannot handle high pressure rounds.One of the most famous "break top" revolvers is the Schofield Model 3, designed in the late 19th century and used by western outlaw Jesse James.Another notable design is the Enfield and Webley series of revolvers used by the British Armed Forces from the 1880s through to the 1960s.The last and most common method of loading and unloading is the swing out cylinder.This latch provides a more secure bond between cylinder and frame, and allows the use of larger, more powerful cartridges.Single action
In a single action revolver, the hammer is manually cocked, usually with the thumb of the firing or supporting hand.To fire again, the hammer must be manually cocked again.Because only a single action is performed and trigger pull is lightened, firing a revolver in this way allows most shooters to achieve greater accuracy.Additionally, the need to manually cock the hammer acts as a safety.Double action
Most double action revolvers may be fired in two ways.The first way is exactly the same as a single action revolver; the hammer is cocked, which advances the cylinder clockwise when viewed from the rear, and when the trigger is pulled, this releases the hammer.Double action revolvers also can be fired from a hammer down position, by pulling the trigger.In this case, the trigger first cocks the hammer (thus advancing the cylinder counterclockwise or clockwise, depending on the gun's manufacturer) and then releases the hammer at the rear of its travel, firing the round in the chamber.Certain revolvers, called double action only, lack the latch that enables the hammer to be locked to the rear, and thus can only be fired in the double action mode.With no way to lock the hammer back, double action only designs tend to have bobbed or spurless hammers, and may even have the hammer completely covered by the revolver's frame.These are generally intended for concealed carrying, where a hammer spur could snag when the revolver is drawn.Use with suppressors
As a general rule, revolvers cannot be equipped with a sound suppressor, as there is usually a small gap between the revolving cylinder and the barrel over which a bullet must traverse or jump when fired.From this opening, a rather loud report is produced even when a suppressor is installed on the end of the barrel of most revolvers.However, eliminating this problem would make the revolver an ideal weapon for suppressed use: in automatics, the action itself creates a significant amount of noise even if muzzle report is totally eliminated.Nonetheless, a suppressible revolver design does exist in the Nagant M1895, a Russian military revolver used from 1895 through World War II.This revolver uses a unique cartridge that extends beyond the end of the bullet, and a cylinder that moves forward to place the end of the cartridge inside the barrel when ready to fire.While the tiny gap between cylinder and barrel on most revolvers is insignificant to the internal ballistics, the seal is especially effective when used with a suppressor, and a number of suppressed Nagant revolvers have been used since its invention.Double action revolvers use a long trigger pull to cock the hammer, thus negating the need to manually cock the hammer between shots.The disadvantage of this is the long, heavy pull that cocks the hammer makes the double action revolver much harder to shoot accurately than a single action revolver (although cocking the hammer of a double action reduces the length and weight of the trigger pull).There is a rare class of revolvers, the automatic revolver, that attempts to overcome this restriction, giving the high speed of a double action with the trigger effort of a single action.Fosbery Automatic Revolver was the first commercial example, introduced in 1901.At the time, the few available automatic pistols were larger, less reliable, and more expensive.The company has made several versions of its Autorevolver, including longer barrelled and carbine variations, chambered for .The Pancor Jackhammer is a combat shotgun based on a similar mechanism to an automatic revolver.It uses a gas action to move the barrel forward (which unlocks it from the cylinder) and then rotate the cylinder and cock the hammer.Patents
Elisha Collier patented a flintlock revolver in Britain in 1818, and significant numbers were being produced in London by 1822.The origination of this invention is in doubt, as similar designs were patented in the same year by Artemus Wheeler in the United States and by Cornelius Coolidge in France.Samuel Colt received a British patent for his revolver in 1835 and an American patent (number 138) on February 25, 1836 for a Revolving gun, and made the first production model on March 5 of that year.Another revolver patent was issued to Samuel Colt on August 29, 1839.The February 25, 1836 patent was then reissued as U.Revolving gun to Samuel Colt on October 24, 1848.September 3, 1850 for a Revolver, and by U.September 10, 1850 for a Revolver.This page was last modified 15:58, 11 January 2008.See Copyrights for details.Minutes() * 60 + newCurrentTime.Hours() * 3600 + currentTime.Minutes() * 60 + currentTime.See all 813 customer reviews...Ships from and sold by Amazon.Roll Hall of Fame Definitive 200 Albums title.See all 813 customer reviews...Why not be the first to suggest a search for which it should appear?See all 358 customer reviews...The easiest way to shoot video reviews.Revolver, like its predecessor Rubber Soul, stunned the pop world when released in 1966.Lush psychedelic tones flourish throughout, enhancing, yet never overwhelming the colorful song textures.Mojo Reader's Poll ranked Revolver as the greatest album ever recorded.Century's greatest works of art.Was this review helpful to you?"Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided to other Amazon.You carefully hold the edges of the record with your palms and set it down, pulling the tone arm over to drop the needle into the groove.These guys were just the Beatles...Not much different from Gerry and the Pacemakers or Freddie and the Dreamers???After Revolver, rock and roll changed.San Francisco with bands like The Charlatans, The Great Society (later Jefferson Airplane), The Grateful Dead and others.Was this review helpful to you?That being said, REVOLVER gives us the most balanced view of The Beatles that we ever get.Everything that made The Beatles great is here in the right proportions.Everyone of them shine for their individual talents.Was this review helpful to you?Trust Your Instincts

Sgt.Cover of the original 1966 U.Back cover of the original 1966 UK LP.The main photo was edited in separate parts for the booklet of the 1988 Compact Disc release.Revolver is The Beatles' seventh album, released on August 5, 1966.Revolver is often cited as one of the greatest albums in rock music history.Ink Blot magazine claims it "stands at the summit of western pop music."In 2002, the readers of Rolling Stone ranked the album the greatest of all time.It placed behind only Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Pet Sounds.Revolver was released before the Beatles stopped touring, and some people were disappointed that, during that touring, the Beatles did not perform songs from that album.At least one reason is that the music was getting more complicated, thus getting more difficult to play live.The newest song the Beatles performed on their 1966 tours was "Paperback Writer", released on a single and recorded at the same time as the Revolver album.Heralding the psychedelic era
2.Unsourced material may be challenged and removed."Yellow Submarine") concurrently with the album.Truffaut's film Fahrenheit 451.The strings were recorded rather dry and compressed, giving a stark, urgent sound.Ringo Starr has confirmed that he contributed the line "Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear."So, after looking through a local phone book, he found the name McKenzie.The song had a great effect upon release for its stark imagery and elegiac tone, which contrasted with The Beatles' prior output.Another key production technique used for the first time on this album was automatic double tracking (ADT), invented by EMI engineer Ken Townsend on 6 April 1966.This technique used two linked tape recorders to create automatically a doubled vocal track.The standard method was to double the vocal by singing the same piece twice onto a multitrack tape, a task Lennon particularly disliked.The Beatles were reportedly delighted with the invention, and used it extensively on Revolver.ADT quickly became a standard pop production technique, and led to related developments, including chorus.It was released as a single in 1976, ten years after the album.McCartney also contributed "For No One" a melancholy song featuring him playing clavichord and a horn solo played by Alan Civil; "Good Day Sunshine", a cheery pastiche of The Lovin' Spoonful, which was quickly covered as a single by The Tremeloes; and "Here, There, and Everywhere", written in the style of The Beach Boys, which was covered by The Lettermen and in 1976 was a hit for Emmylou Harris.Harrison's emergence as songwriter
Revolver was also a breakthrough album for Harrison as a songwriter, and he contributed three songs on Revolver, including the opening track, "Taxman".The guitar solo is actually played by McCartney.In the Anthology 2 version, "Mr.Wilson and Mr Heath" were replaced with "Anybody got a little money.""Love You To" marked a significant expansion of his burgeoning interest in Indian music and the sitar, which started with "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" on 1965's Rubber Soul.Beatles fans also point out that it was the intro to "Love You To" that was playing in the background when the Harrison character first appears in Yellow Submarine, the animated Beatles movie released in 1968.Revolver is the childlike "Yellow Submarine."McCartney himself has said that he wrote "Yellow Submarine" as a children's song for Starr to sing.With the help of their EMI production team, the Beatles overdubbed stock sound effects they found in the Abbey Road studio tape library.George Martin had collected these for his production of recordings of the British radio comedy programme The Goon Show.According to Lennon, some of the trippy lyrics of "She Said She Said" were taken almost verbatim from an exchange he had with actor Peter Fonda in August 1965, while he (Lennon), Harrison and Starr were under the influence of LSD at their rented house in Benedict Canyon (in Beverly Hills, California).Hearing this, Lennon bluntly replied: "Who put all that shit in your head?"What does that have to do with it?Lennon's processed lead vocal was another innovation.Emerick solved the problem by splicing a line from the recording console into the studio's Leslie speaker, giving Lennon's vocal its ethereal, filtered quality (he was later reprimanded by the studio's management for doing that).The stereo and mono mixes of "Tomorrow Never Knows" have at least one noticeable difference.The opening note fades in gradually in the stereo version.Voormann's illustration, part line drawing and part collage, included photographs by Robert Whitaker, who also took the back cover photographs and many other famous images of the group between 1964 and 1966, such as the infamous "butcher cover" for Yesterday and Today.In the Revolver cover appearing in his artwork for Anthology 3, he replaced this image with a more recent photo.Harrison's Revolver image was seen again on his single release of "When We Was Fab" along with an updated version of the same image.Title
The title Revolver, like Rubber Soul before it, is a pun, referring both to a kind of handgun as well as the "revolving" motion of the record as it is played on a turntable.The Beatles had a difficult time coming up with this title.After that, opinion split: Lennon wanted to call it Four Sides of the Eternal Triangle and Starr jokingly suggested After Geography, playing on The Rolling Stones' recently released Aftermath LP.The other suggestions included Magical Circles, Beatles on Safari, Pendulum, and, finally, Revolver, whose wordplay was the one that all four Beatles agreed upon.Due to security measures, they spent much of their time in their Tokyo Hilton hotel room; the name Revolver was selected as all four collaborated on a large psychedelic painting.LP release of Revolver marked the last time Capitol would alter an "established" UK Beatles album for the U.Yesterday and Today Capitol compilation, they were simply deleted in the U.VH1 Cable Music Channel All Time Album Top 100.Beatles, Radiohead albums voted best ever.The Beatles: Revolver: Ink Blot Magazine Review.Ringo Starr Reminisces About The Boys in the Band.Revolver' By The Beatles, 1966.Originally published in Mojo, reprinted in: Paul Trynka (ed.The Beatles: Ten Years that Shook the World.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.See Copyrights for details.Los Angeles Presale Starts Tomorrow!In addition to the Dallas, San Francisco, and San Diego presales tomorrow, Velvet Revolver Fan Club members will have exclusive access to a presale for the February 6th show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.The presale will start at 10am PDT.Check out the tour page for all the details.In addition to presales, Meet and Greet packages including a ticket will go on sale at the same time to the general public.Check out the tour page for all the details.Blue Room and watch Velvet Revolver talk about the making of Libertad, preparing for their New Year's Eve show at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom, and check out a few songs from the show!Meet and Greet Packages for US Tour On Sale Now!Velvet Revolver is offering Meet and Greet packages for the upcoming US tour, beginning with the January 24th show in Chicago.Beginning tomorrow morning at 10am local venue time, Meet and Greet packages go on sale for Chicago, West Des Moines, Austin, and Las Vegas.Fans will be given a official VIP laminate and escorted backstage to meet members of Velvet Revolver.Fans will receive a personal photograph with the band.An exclusive 8X10 photo.US Tour Presales for Chicago, Austin, and Vegas TOMORROW!If you're not already a member of the Velvet Revolver Fan Club and you want access to these presales and more, JOIN NOW!Click here for the full tour schedule."Are you sure you want to block this user?Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player.Click here to get the latest flash player.Variable("rollover4", "View artist's profile..."ENON
