Editing Revolver (section)

===Rifles===
Revolving rifles were developed in an attempt to increase the rate of fire of rifles by combining them with the revolving firing mechanism that had been developed earlier for revolving pistols. Colt began experimenting with revolving rifles in the early 19th century, making them in a variety of calibers and barrel lengths. [[Colt revolving rifle]]s were the first repeating rifles adopted by the U.S. military, issued to soldiers to improve their rate of fire. However, after firing six shots, the shooter had to take an excessive amount of time to reload. Also, on occasion, these Colt rifles discharged all their rounds at once, endangering the shooter. Even so, an early model was used in the [[Seminole Wars]] in 1838.<ref name="Coggins2012">{{cite book|last=Coggins|first=Jack|title=Arms and Equipment of the Civil War|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9kLCAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA36|year=2012|publisher=Courier Dover Publications|isbn=978-0-486-13127-6|pages=36–37}}</ref><ref name="DizardMuth1999">{{cite book|last1=Dizard|first1=Jan E.|last2=Muth|first2=Robert M.|last3=Andrews|first3=Stephen P.|title=Guns in America: A Reader|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ygcO6WyqrYkC&pg=PA62|year=1999|publisher=NYU Press|location=New York|isbn=978-0-8147-1879-7|page=62}}</ref> During the Civil War, a LeMat Carbine was made based on the [[LeMat revolver]].<ref name="Shideler2011=lmc">{{cite book|last=Shideler|first=Dan|title=The Gun Digest Book of Guns & Prices 2011|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xyoOLh4ZNCQC&pg=PA556|date=10 May 2011|publisher=Gun Digest Books|location=Iola, Wisconsin|isbn=978-1-4402-1890-3|pages=555–556}}</ref>
