I know that revolvers work.. as in they go bang and bullet goes down the barrel and on down range with very precise repeatability.
I understand the principle of how closed bolt systems work. I'm missing a step with revolvers.
When the charge sends the bullet out of the cylinder and jumps to the forcing cone, there is now an air gap behind the bullet in the barrel. Why doesn't the charge just completely vent out of the cylinder gap at that point?
How is pressure maintained?
