The hammer does not truly fall, it is driven by the force of a spring. When released by the trigger, it is driven forward in a fraction of a second, moving fast enough to barely be visible while moving. The exact speed will depend on the force of the spring, weight and length of the hammer, but I would estimate the hammer moves around 200 feet per second.

How do you shoot a revolver fast?

Depends on the revolver. Some are double action- pulling the trigger makes the hammer rise and fall, firing the revolver- so it will fire as fast as you can pull the trigger- but usually at the cost of accuracy. Older style revolvers were usually single action- the hammer had to be manually cocked, and then the trigger pulled. One fast fire technique was known as "fanning" The trigger would he held down with fingers of one hand, and the other hand was rapidly brushed over the hammer, cocking it, and causing it to fire as soon as it was cocked. Accuracy was horrible.
