Most revolvers cannot be silenced, bc the gas will leave via the gap between the cylinder and barrel

Yeah, a good 95% of revolvers can’t be suppressed. Some can, although they’re usually designed with Suppression in mind. The 1895 Nagant is one of the few you can Suppress as the cylinder goes forward when the hammer is cocked, creating a seal between the cylinder and the barrel
On the rest of revolvers, yeah there’s a bit gap and that kills any suppression

you could actually never do that except for selected few revolvers, it just doesn’t make sence, for the same reason why you should never place your fingers next to a cylinder when firing one, here’s the video of good old grandpa Hickok45 explaining it:
Yes modern revolvers and most revolvers in game have an exposed cylinder therefore a gap between the cylinder and the barrel meaning gases and sound caused by the gases escape the cylinder and the barrel👍🏻 if the cylinder is sealed or seals when firing you can use a silencer like on the nagant revolver

It was mostly that they were absolutely OP with their massive single-hit dmg

the drum is not sealed, meaning some gas that make sound will go out there, negatingthe silencer
