I'm boycotting until we get Tigerman.

1. A cylinder, should you not have a special reloading tool, requires you to individually load each cartridge into the chamber. A magazine or clip is simple.

A magazine either wastes bullets, empties at the wrong time or you're lucky.

2. If by "single bullet rifle," you're referring to bolt action, then it depends on the rifle. A number of bolt rifles have internal magazines, typically holding five rounds or so. A number of bolt rifles have detachable mags. There are certainly many, however, that only store one round - in its chamber.

I can see how that would be better.
