你會選擇Pistols或Revolvers呢?
我都知到Revolvers係左輪啦,但係我指既係話Revolvers係Pistols既其中一種,
如果好似大字果句咁講,你唔通將左輪同手槍分割出去?
你分析清楚果句先插人,我既意思係質疑佢,並唔 ...
Multiple senses of the word "pistol"
The word "pistol" is often synonymous with the word "handgun". However, some handgun experts make a technical distinction that views pistols as a subset of handguns. In American usage, a pistol is a handgun whose chamber is integral with the barrel, while the other main type of handgun, the revolver, has a revolving chamber (that is — a revolving cylinder containing multiple chambers). However, Commonwealth usage makes no distinction at a technical level—"pistol" may refer to revolvers, semi-automatics, or muzzle-loading/cap-&-ball handguns. For example, the official designation of the Webley Mk VI was "Pistol, Revolver, Webley No. 1 Mk VI", and the designation "Pistol No. 2 Mk I" was used to refer to both the Enfield Revolver and the later Browning Hi-Power semi-automatic.[1],[2],[3],[4]
In the 15th century the word "pistol" was used for small knives and daggers which could be concealed in a person's clothing. By the 18th century, the term came to be used exclusively to refer to handheld firearms. Practical revolver designs appeared in the 19th century, and it was in that century that the technical differentiation in usage of the words "pistol" and "revolver" developed.

呢位師兄冇錯,pistol係可以包括左輪,但要技術性分開自動/半自動手槍同左輪手槍o既用詞,用pistol同revolver係最適合的.
最完美就Semi-automatic/automatic pistol同revolver啦!
(仲有Single-shot pistol同Multi-barreled pistol)
