    Limitations of a percussion revolver

    It has recently come to my attention that anyone can own a revolver so long as it is antique (I.e. not a replica) and doesn’t fire a centerfire or rimfire cartridge (uses percussion caps), and it is then classified as an antique firearm.
    Would said antique firearm still come under the limitations of use that a pistol does, namely only being allowed to be fired at a certified pistol range, or could it be fired anywhere a rifle can be fired?
