[@hungrymon7887]

[@C-gt42069]

That’s what they called a double-action revolver at the time

[@Homepros888]

Ok for all those who question his statement of "automatic revolver" as most of us know a revolver is not automatic but "double action". Meaning when you squeeze the trigger it pulls back the hammer and turn the cylinder to the next bullet to be fire. Back in the old days most revolver was only "single action" meaning you have to pull the hammer back to rotate the cylinder and squeeze the trigger to fire, e.g in the old western movies you see the cowboys hold the gun with one hand and then quickly use the other hand's palm to slide back the hammer to shoot again.

[@romancingmanhattantours6640]

Wow, all these comments about the automatic revolver. Craziness. He was actually shot with a .38 caliber. But we found this out after the video was published. An update will be forthcoming. Regarding the “automatic revolver“ mention I was simply putting forth when I had come across in several articles. I posted a link to the description of an automatic revolver in the comments. You’ll find it there. appreciate your input though.

There actually are "automatic revolvers." However, the only one made in any significant numbers dates from around 1900...the Webley-Fosbery. Would a mafia guy be using a, then, 60ish year old firearm? Possible but not likely.

An automatic revolver is a revolver that uses the recoil energy of firing for cocking the hammer and revolving the cylinder, rather than using manual operations to perform these actions.
