Introduction of weapons
Device's rotary revolver was developed by L. F. Devise Company in Paris and patented in Britain on February 30th, 1858. The gun adopts the structure of rotating wheel folding, but unlike most revolvers with rotating wheel folding, the rotating shaft is not at the front end of the rotating wheel seat, but at the front end of the trigger holder behind the rotating wheel seat, and the barrel is integrated with the rotating wheel and folded around the rotating shaft.

Devise's wheel folds the revolver, and the spindle protruding from the front end of the wheel seat doubles as a barrel lock. You can unlock it by turning the lever at the front end of the spindle. A shell unloading rod is installed below the cylinder. When the cartridge ejection lever is pushed backward, the cartridge that has been fired in the wheel can be ejected. Devise revolver was once selected as standard pistol by Swedish army and equipped with troops.
