Machine Revolvers
A Machine Revolver is a firearm based on the actions of an automatic revolver but with the capabilities of rapid full-automatic fire. This concept is also intended as an alternative to the water jackets found on early machine guns, which would lack the effort of changing barrels on GPMGs during a heavy firefight in a battlefield environment. Although it appears, It must be noted that Machine Revolvers are not in any way related to Gatling guns and its derivatives as they are usually in the form of general purpose machine guns that changes barrels/chambers for each shot, however they are not exactly but somewhat closer to revolver cannons.

Famous quotes containing the words machine and/or revolvers:
“The white man regards the universe as a gigantic machine hurtling through time and space to its final destruction: individuals in it are but tiny organisms with private lives that lead to private deaths: personal power, success and fame are the absolute measures of values, the things to live for. This outlook on life divides the universe into a host of individual little entities which cannot help being in constant conflict thereby hastening the approach of the hour of their final destruction.”
—Policy statement, 1944, of the Youth League of the African National Congress. pt. 2, ch. 4, Fatima Meer, Higher than Hope (1988)
“Anything goes in Wichita. Leave your revolvers at police headquarters and get a check.”
—For the State of Kansas, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
