>A pepperbox revolver is still a revolver.
Unironically, no it isn't. Just because it has nut in its name does not mean a coconut is a nut.
A Pepperbox Revolver is classified as a Pepperbox, not a revolver.
A pepperbox, in terms of firearms classification, is any multi-barreled, independently activated firearm that lacks a feed system (eg: is single-shot per barrel); pepperboxes with modern ammo types exist- I've used a few, they're fun if very impractical. A revolver, again in terms of firearms classification, is specifically a single-barreled firearm with a rotating cylinder which acts as the chamber and is separate from the barrel.
Yes, it's pedantry; yes, it's autism, but you're in /k/. Home of firearms and weapons autists.
>if you made a Gatling gun with a series of chambers but only a single barrel, then
It just straight up wouldn't work; that goes against the very principles of operation that make a Gatling gun function.
And, yes, a Revolver Cannon is a revolver. It meets the technical definition of a revolver.
