Really? Which ones?

I assume that was a joke.

PS Militaries (since the advent of reliable semiautomatic pistols) prefer autos to revolvers because of ease of field maintenance/repair, superior ruggedness under harsh conditions, and quick reloads, more so that due to superior reliability when well maintained and clean. Well maintained and clean, good revolvers are about the equal of good semiautos in the reliability department.
