<upd_detl>Subsequently i discovered that this version is already in WI1, from where it perhaps wants to be promoted. :-)</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>In a text i recently translated i had used 回転式拳銃 (my choice for "revolver"), but the client's editor - someone who i have a good reason to believe is knowledgeable about such matters - suggested that this should be replaced with 回転弾倉式拳銃 in each case.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>Already has a good xref.  [rare] = don't use if you have no reason to.  Interesting comments on the old forked entry about being told explicitly to use this form, I wonder what the specific rationale ended up being in that case.

3 hits on all of wikipedia. My guess is historic legal/technical phrasing.

One of the three wikipedia references was to "Kyoto and Osaka serial robbery-murder case" using the murder weapon:
ステンレス製包丁（刃体の長さ約16.9 cm）[注 2]、警察用ニューナンブ回転弾倉式拳銃[1]（38口径）[2]

the weapon itself has a wikipedia page:
ニューナンブM60
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8A%E3%83%B3%E3%83%96M60

On its own page, it is simply called a 回転式拳銃. 回転弾倉式拳銃 does not appear. Maybe 回転弾倉式拳銃 carries some news-reportery "gravitas" along with it...</upd_detl>
