It is where part of the cylinder is cut in, allowing a part on the frame to match up. Use a search engine for Rebated Cylinder, and you'll get plenty of pictures. "Cut in" means that the diameter of the cylinder is reduced at some part normally by "cutting in" with a lathe. In some black powder pistols, especially early colt models, the diameter of the cylinder is less at the nipple end than it is at the end closest to the breach of the barrel.

Not really. It will leak out eventually. Besides by leaving a charged C02 cylinder in the pistol keeps pressure on the seal and this may damage it over time. I always take the cylinder out of the pistol when I am finished shooting. No matter how much C02 is left int the cylinder. It doesn't cost that much to put a new Cylinder in the pistol when I want to use it again. Besides leaving it in the pistol will eventually reform the seal. I want it to return to a normal shape between shooting sessions. Is it cheaper to buy a new cylinder or have the pistol repaired because the seal is warped.
A revolver is louder than a pistol due to the barrel-cylinder gap that is located between the cylinder face and forcing cone of a revolver.
The rebated joint has a better holding strenght compared to the butt joint. Otherwise look at this website:http://www.woodworkbasics.com/rebate-joint.html
there is a flat holding pin just ahead of the cylinder, it must be pushed out to slide the cylinder off
You will need to take it to a gunsmith to find out.
