The Invention That Changed the Wild West #SamuelColt #Revolver Before Samuel Colt came along, guns usually had to be painfully reloaded after every single shot. Colt designed a mechanism where a rotating cylinder held five or six bullets. Every time you pulled the hammer back, the next bullet automatically lined up for the barrel. His revolvers became so reliable and famous that an old American proverb says, "God created men, but Colonel Colt made them equal." | Big Bang Bogan
