@dcnumber9 Yes. To stabilize a rifle for accurate shots there is one issue of putting your hand in front of the cylinder. If all of them go off, at a minimum you new nickname is going to Stumpy or Nubs. Another issue is that cylinder gap leakage is going to blow burning bits of powder out the sides of the weapon. Not a big problem with a pistol as people tend to hold them at arms length. With a rifle the cylinder is much closer to the face. Wind might blow those burning bits off powder into your eyes.
