[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK gun person -- how many rounds of a modern revolver can you fire in a minute?  Seems a lot slower.  Are people using these revolvers in mass shootings?

The slowest handguns on the market are revolvers, which hold five or six bullets in multichambered cylinders. The original revolvers were single-action—in between shots, the user had to cock the gun with either the thumb of his shooting hand or the thumb or palm of his nondominant hand. (Still, a skilled shooter could squeeze off five or six rounds pretty quickly.) Modern double-action revolvers don't require this extra motion, but the triggers are much stiffer than those of semiautomatic pistols—12 pounds of finger force is required, as opposed to five or six. Reloading is also more complicated. Placing the bullets into the chamber individually can take several seconds. A speed loader, a plastic device that lines up over the chambers and drops the bullets in at the turn of a knob, is faster but still can't match the speed of a semiautomatic pistol.[/quote][/quote]

in one minute i bet someone with minimal practice could do 30 or 40 easy. that includes time for reloads.  [/quote]
