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/ニューナンブM60

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...

And for reference, here are some real googits (as opposed to the much higher 
hit numbers Google gives us on the respective first result pages):
"回転式拳銃" 781
"回転弾倉式拳銃" 351
"回転式連発拳銃" 205
"回転弾倉拳銃" 70
"輪胴式拳銃" 31

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.
  Comments:
Subsequently i discovered that this version is already in WI1, from where it perhaps wants to be promoted. :-)
