The type of the pictured weapon is a:

  1. Semi-automatic pistol

  2. Double-action revolver

  3. Single-action revolver

  4. Bolt-action rifle

The correct answer is: Single-action revolver

The pictured weapon is a single-action revolver because it has a distinctive cylinder, which is only capable of holding six rounds. A semi-automatic pistol would have a magazine that can hold more than six rounds. A double-action revolver would have a longer and smoother trigger pull, which is not visible in the picture. A bolt-action rifle would also have a longer and heavier trigger pull, as it would require manually cycling the bolt to load each round. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
