If the idea of a revolving rifle intriques you, you might still be able to get one. A replica gun maker, I think Uberti, was making a Remington revolving rifle. Looked like one of their .44 cal black powder revolvers, but much longer barrel and a crescent butt shoulder stock instead of a pistol grip. Fancy brass handguard too. And ajustable rifle sights. A few years ago at a gunshow I came that close to getting one. Someone had a used on for sale, it appeared new and unfired though. The price was a steal compared to the retail price but I drug my feet and someone else bagged it. Sellers that don't deal in BP arms sometimes come by them in trade ins and often sell them under value to get rid of them so that is worth watching for if into that. Anyway, in a revolver, the bullet does gain some fair MV before it is passed the gap and the gas can escape, try shooting a round from a revolver with no barrel, just cylinder. If it hits someone it might kill them! At very close range.
