Come on be brave.

Shoot a revolving carbine without that messy grease, you don’t need two hands anyway.

Yea there is a real good reason they weren’t real popular.

Make sure to wear long soft cotton sleeves when firing your revolving black powder carbine in tall dry grass, so when you light your steadying arm aflame you can run in panicky circles flapping it like a chicken wing setting a brush fire alight around you.

The rifle-caliber revolving carbine: Not a great milestone achievement in the history of firearms design.

Having experienced a chain fire in my Navy replica pistol, I definitely would not want a BP rifle with a revolving cylinder! Grease or no grease.
