Just for my own understanding:
A "revolver" by definition has to have a cylinder that houses the bullets, and that cylinder rotates to bring each bullet into alignment with the barrel.
So the following would be a revolver:

Is there a special name for a hand gun that carries it's bullets in a clip inside the handle, like this:

That is, is there a single word that conveys the idea that the hand gun uses a bullet clip that fits inside it's handle?
My understanding is that revolvers typically hold 6 bullets. Is there a "typical" number of bullets that a hand gun with a bullet clip in it's handle would carry? Would 11 or 12 be about right?
