Der Arminius-Revolver hat die Besonderheit, dass er zehn Züge hat (und nicht sechs wie andere Pistolen) und die Kugel mit Rechtsdrall abfeuert. Es geht um Morde im Hamburger Milieu in den 1980er Jahren.
"Damit das Geschoss bei Abgabe des Schusses eine Drehbewegung bekommt, hat jede Pistole innen so genannte Züge. In der Regel haben die Revolver sechs Züge."

The three main class characteristics of all bullets are the lands and grooves, the caliber of the bullet, and the rifling twist. All three can be tied directly to the type of barrel that was used to fire the bullet. The lands and grooves of barrel are the bumps and valleys created when the rifling is created. The caliber is the diameter of the barrel. The twist is the direction of the striations left by the barrel's rifling, clockwise (right-handed) or counterclockwise (left-handed).
Re 'chambers': The loading capacity of the revolving cylinder is not a factor in the forensic examination of a bullet found at the crime scene.

Comment: "Thank you very much. I agree it's not chambers because I have an image of said revolver, and it doesn't hold 10 bullets. I couldn't find this information anywhere, thank you so much."

ten chambers and right twist
This pistol is characterized by having 10 chambers for bullets instead of the more common 6. The rifling in the barrel has a right-twist.
