How do Hand Cannons work?

Has anyone else ever looked at the hand cannons and wondered how they fire a bullet and where the bullet comes from? I certainly have. If you look at the image that I provided you can see that the chamber does not line up with the barrel, or it does not seem to at least. This is something that has bothered me for a while now about the hand cannons (there are other hand cannons that have this problem). Now, on this forum there are plenty of intelligent people and other people that are just opinionated, either or I would enjoy to read all the different reasons that people can come up with on how the hand cannon works through this conundrum. Start your explanations, but please be nice. Edit: A few people have made comments about it being a bottom load and that being possible. That was never the problem here. The problem I have had with a few of the designs is why the cylinder and chamber do not seem to line up. Some people have said they do while others have agreed and said they do not. Since they do not line up (that is how I see it), I asked for answers. I expected or at least hoped for some out there science answers. Edit: More comments about why do I care... Why do you post here then? Anyways, I am all up for believing in technology that I cannot explain because of aliens or SCIENCE or whatever, but when the barrel and cylinder are at weird angles or as @Teuton67 noticed, certain mechanics that we CAN explain do not seem to workout on some weapon skins. THAT is when I care and ask. Besides, if you do not like my question then do not answer it and move on. You do not need to type in rude words just because you hide behind the computer. Be nice.

  • I understand what you mean, but the way destiny designed the handcannon was to make it seem as if the bullet fires from the lowest chamber that does line up with the barrel. My opinion is that they just took the known classic revolver and tried to revamp and bring it back in a futuristic way
