Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Aren't most revolvers six-chambered, not five?

The majority are, but ones made really small (think sterotypical tv/movie detective with ankle holster or shoulder holster) typically hold 5 to minimize overall size.

Even larger guns can either have 7, 8, or 10 shot if they're made for really small cartridges for relaxed target shooting, or 5 if they are one of the modern uber magnum bear defense types.
