	The '''Adams percussion revolver''' was the brainchild of British gunsmith Robert Adams, who received a patent for a new revolver design in 1851. The gun was a .436 5-shot DAO solid-frame revolver with a spurless hammer. The East India Company was the first to put the new revolver into service. British officers often purchased the Adams revolver privately while the Army waited until 1857 when an improved '''Beaumont-Adams''' version was adopted. Ten years later, it was replaced by .450 6-shot breach loading version, designed by Robert's brother John Adams. ~~Roughly five-hundred~~ 6-shot .36 caliber Adams revolvers were produced under license by Massachusetts Arms Co. in the United States starting in 1858.

	Unusually for a firearm of their age, screen examples will likely be originals as reproductions were nonexistent till 2023, when Avancargas Arsa of Spain began a small run of handcrafted reproductions. However no firing scenes with an Adams are known to exist from a 21st century production, presumably due to this scarcity and age.
