The Colt Revolving Shotgun was pretty neat in its time. A lot of bang when needed, but slow to load, and it did have a few operational technical difficulties. It was, like its rifle mate, prone to get out of time

And, the cylinder gap presented other difficulties. Even if you didnt get a chain fire, the flash from the cylinder gap would set your shirt sleeve afire, on your forward hand. So troops held on to the trigger guard with the off hand- awkward at best.

Wingshooting is likely a bit problematic with a Colt Revolving Shotgun.
