They probably mean an old revolver such as the 1851 Navy revolver. See the loading video here https://civilwarhorror.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-load-and-...

The barrel of the revolver is effectively 6 terribly short smooth bore muskets. Be sure to load them before the shooting starts. Then you can fire six shots in rapid succession, before changing to your other revolver. You did remember to buy two?
