The standard-issue Webley revolver at the outbreak of the First World War was the Webley Mk V (adopted 9 December 1913 [9]), but there were considerably more Mk IV revolvers in service in 1914, [10] as the initial order for 20,000 Mk V revolvers had not been completed when hostilities began. [9]

The Webley Royal Irish Constabulary revolver is a British double-action, centerfire cartridge revolver designed in 1867. It was one of the earliest British breachloading revolvers and one of the most popular British revolvers of the 19th century.
Webley further developed the design and the Webley–Fosbery Automatic Revolver was introduced at the matches at Bisley in July 1900. [1] In civilian use, the Webley–Fosbery was popular with target shooters. Because the trigger mechanism did not rotate the cylinder, shots were smooth and consistent, permitting rapid and accurate shooting.
The .320 Revolver was designed for the Webley Bull Dog pocket revolver in 1868 and similar revolvers made in Belgium that followed. The .320 can be viewed as a centerfire version of the .32 Rimfire, albeit less powerful. Certain types of .32 Short Colt cartridges had a slightly different-sized rim.
