Ever heard of an automatic wheel gun?

The Maltese Falcon is on again and Bogie always mispronounces the Webley "Forsby" that's shown but is clearly a revolver. He calls it an eight shot automatic. So I looked it up. The .38 version is an eight shot and the .455 is a six shooter. The whole barrel and cylinder is separate from the frame and slides back to **** the gun so it's always single action. Of course it's a semi auto, not a full auto. Has a manual safety too. Interesting piece.
