Some handguns hold 5, some 6, some 7, or more. With a revolver, the number of shots is dependent on the diameter of the cartridge, and the diameter of the cylinder they fit into. There is nothing magic about the number 6. I have a S&W Chief's Special- a very small .38 revolver, that is 5 shot. I also have a S&W Model 10, a much larger handgun. also in .38, that is 6 shot. But it has a larger cylinder.

No, swords are weapons that don't run out of ammo like guns. Guns run out of ammo, not swords. Swords have infinite ammo. Their infinite ammo is their blade, not bullets. Guns run out of ammo and have to be reloaded. Some how, swords are better than guns because swords can deflect bullets. Guns uses bullets and swords uses blades.
