Only examples of the carbine version appear to survive today, but the system was also used in pepperbox pistol and musket length variants. The weapon holds the distinction of being the first revolving weapon system trialled by a military, with 2 carbines and 2 muskets being purchased by the US Navy in 1821 as a potential weapon to be used by boarding parties.
