"Revolvers Are Simple"? - & a Lesson at Using a Shotgun Properly:

REVOLVERS have around 50-60 parts, give or take a few depending on the model, if you count all the pins and small bits like springs and such - Of those, some 20 or so are directly involved with making sure the cylinder lines-up correctly with the forcing cone at the right time - when the gun fires. Or, in other words, they’re involved in “timing” the revolver. 

Single-Action Revolvers mostly have fewer parts than Double Action revolvers - mostly - but this is variable depending on which ideas are tried by the designers copying other guns or are changed for reasons of 'originality'.

In the movie ALIENS - 'Newt' says "We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly come at night... mostly."

For the idiots out there (Politicians, Senior Police, 'Anti-Gun Campaigners', and "Do-Gooders") .. REVOLVERS are so-called because they have a CYLINDER that REVOLVES - whereas other types of pistols - not having a revolving cylinder - are NOT called revolvers.

Revolvers are pistols - but pistols are not revolvers ..
This is a CYLINDER - Seen from the rear:

Again, - for the parasitic anti-gun morons like HERA COOK at Otago University (- a specialist in womens pudenda - she knows what a c*nt is) - a revolver cylinder is a cylindrically shaped metal component that contains a firearms multiple CHAMBERS. - Revolvers are sometimes refered to as "SIXGUNS" - but many revolvers have Five, Seven, Eight or Ten or more chambers ..

When firing a revolver - double-action or single-action - if you notice bits of lead stinging your hands or face - this is a strong sign that the pistols TIMING is dangerously faulty and it should not be used until proper repairs are completed.

Incidentally - there are those other misguided morons of a different ilk who insist that the safety has to be turned-off revolvers before shooting them .. when most revolvers do not have a "Safety" switch.
This is The Safety of a Firearm ..

I used to run on range firearms use sessions as an instructor and had few 'issues' with visitors 30-40 years ago - back in the '90s - but more recent school graduates - seem to specialize in completely ignoring instructions and have evolved a blank staring, slack-jawed, pouty face that requires instant removal from the zone - for their carer to refresh medications and to counsel them.

- Just saying ..
This person has recently moved fresh supplies of NUCLEAR WARHEADS to England and is reportedly claiming to have moved two nuclear missile armed submarines closer to Russia.
Can someone please hold his attention by waving his favorite toy before his eyes while two large medics approach from the rear with a straitjacket ?

What do you call a childishly stupid adult?: Emotionally immature! Someone's psychological or emotional age is often evident in emotional reactions and habits. Signs of emotional immaturity/childishness include. emotional escalations, blaming, lies, and name calling. Someone who is emotionally childish may also have poor impulse control, need to be the center of attention, or engage in bullying, manipulation, and abuse!

Right after I wrote this piece - this video from my favorite old timer Jack Hargreaves popped-up on YouTube ..

Good Stuff. - Perhaps, if I'd had some expert tuition on shotgunning at clays I might be less useless than I am at moving targets ..

Are You a Fit and Proper Person?

Are NZ Police 'FIT AND PROPER'?

FIREARMS LICENCES FOR NZ POLICE.
