Gatling guns fired 45/70 rounds, and I think you could fairly call them "revolvers", so ".45 automatic revolver" would seem to work for them. But it would be a bit difficult to "pack" two of them. Although ... maybe in the sense of "pack howitzers"? There was a Gatling model intended for use from camel-back; have you noticed a sudden paucity of camels in Fort Worth? 8-) Well, some (all?)

Very popular gun in competition due to being able to reload quickly, using moonclips. However, it does sound stupid as most .45s are semi autos.

Guns just aren't part of law-abiding life here.
