The Schoonover revolver looks novel. I see one of his proposed loads appeared to be a bolt to be fired through the gun. Each round would have three bolts or three stacks of shot. The bolt must have been designed to be nose heavy and aerodynamic. Or at least one would think. Looks like the Schoonover revolver was smoothbore by looking at the drawing.
