>We need to have a OP handgun that one-shots people in our game
valve pls fix
>>736877470Was Resident Evil responsible for this "revolvers = massive damage somehow" meme? It's the first instance of it I can think of.
>>736877470How many shots to the face should a human take with this gun before dying, anon?
Aren't revolvers objectively lower-power than modern semiautos? Shouldn't they do LESS damage?
>>736880160I could tank it
>>736880114dirty harry
>>736880114>fire big bullet>does big damageit's not that deep lil bro
>>736877470>We need a revolver that can use a suppressor
>>736880114No it was long before that in movies
>>736880313At close range you’re fucked if one of these hits you but I think I think it’s not as reliable as a pp7 for example at long distance

>>736877470This thing is hilarious. All other weapons except the suppressed 10mm are totally irrelevant because it can take out all targets in less than 5 shots including bots but takes up only 6 inventory squares.
>>736880607TOM BRAIDER
>>736877613I still don't know what the fuck they were thinking with the R8 when it releasedit was basically a pocket awp
>>736880413>big bullet.357 mag bullets are smaller than lol9mm
>>736880620didn't matter to me, I only used the tranq rifle for everythingyes i will do yet another stealth run of DXHR, thankyouverymuch

>>736880413If it travels at a slower velocity, no it doesn't. Also, standard revolvers also shot 9mm rounds, they're not even bigger.
>>736880607the magnums didn't do that much damage in tomb raider
>>736880313Not really. Mass vs Velocity. Something with less velocity but more mass can do more damage over a larger area. Ideally, you want a balance, but more velocity and less mass can work out if you got a shit ton of speed. Or you can run 10mm and get both, and a SHIT ton of recoil.
>>736880695They were thinking a weapon that is accurate at range, inaccurate up close and limited ammo. But that is what an awp is.So instead they should have done the opposite and made that shotgun revolver 'judge' or whatever.
>revolvers are strongWhat now?
>>736881328bethesda first shooter post terminator in msdos
>>736881328*except break action revolvers sorry Anon everyone knows this
what exactly is the benefit of a revolver compared to a magazine fed pistol?
>>736881789old good
>>736880313Highly depends on what it's chambered in. For example an old Webley revolver is roughly comparable to .45 ACP, while a nagant revolver is weaker than 9mm. But when most people think of revolvers they think of .357 magnum and .44 magnum hand cannons which have about double the muzzle energy of 9mm.
>>736881789Safer. You won't have revolvers accidentally go off with the hammer uncocked. They're also less complex and easier to fix (and won't jam).
>>736880313Depends. You get some stupidly huge revolvers.
Ackshually the revolver hits harder due to its increased stopping power
>>736881789Its cooler
>>736881854>an old Webley revolver is roughly comparable to .45 ACP.455 Webley may indeed be fat, but it's also very slow.
>>736882464So are normal .45 ACP rounds that aren't bubba's pissin' hot handloads.
>>736881789Less moving parts
>>736881789ask ocelot
>>736882526Slower than that.
>>736880413>>736880852dumb
>>736881789Revolvers won't jam if you try to dampen the gun's recoil according to MGS V. Also they are better for larger calibers than magfed pistols.
>>736881789Less chance of failure. Like, WAY less. They are super simple so they can't fuck up unless YOU fuck up. Like, with a pistol there are any number of things that can go wrong like the spring or lip of the magazine failing, failure to extract or eject, fouling, etc.That being said, nowadays unless you are terminally retarded a modern pistol won't fail on you, or the failure can be fixed by racking the slider several times. Provided you aren't buying the cheapest, shittier ammo imaginable and do maintenance like once every 3 months you are golden.Still, there are situations where you CAN'T afford a failure, so revolvers are still a thing. For the very small chance of self defense and recreational shooting (so 99.99% of the times) pistols are perfectly fine.

>>736883542look at this clown
Can't beat the classic.
>>736881789Not having a magazine, but the cons are also not having a magazine and having to manually reload. It's a simpler design too which means exponentially less failure points/chances for misfires. Like if I had to carry a gun on horseback it's going to be a revolver not because it's "cowboy", but because it won't sig saar my leg or horse by bouncing around. They are also more robust in general and can take a beating/rough life better than a gun you have to baby in oil and adjust more often. They can also shoot larger rounds, but the larger they get the more meme/ no use case scenario they become.
>>736877613Wish it happened again as a april fools joke
>>736884021>It's a simpler design tooNo it's not.>which means exponentially less failure points/chances for misfiresNo, that's completely wrong. It can't have a failure to feed. Instead when a revolver has a failure, it's fucked. Oh your timing is bad? Have fun.>Like if I had to carry a gun on horseback it's going to be a revolver not because it's "cowboy", but because it won't sig saar my leg or horse by bouncing aroundIt is no different from carrying a double action pistol, or an uncocked single action.>They are also more robust in general and can take a beating/rough life better than a gun you have to baby in oil and adjust more often.This is 1000% false. Get a revolver a little dirty and it fails immediately. It's a clockwork mechanism, it is far more precise and complex than a pistol slide. You don't "adjust" anything at all on a pistol.nogunz
>>736884021>but because it won't sig saar my leg or horse by bouncing aroundtheres a reason cowboys rode with one chamber empty in a revolver

>3 taps you
>>736881328>weakest gun in the entire game>fires the same cartridge as the objective best early game weapon and one of the strongest guns in the game, period, so it doesn't even work as a cheap little emergency gunwhat were they THINKING
As the amount of gun knowledge increases the size of the knowers dick decreases. It's science.
>>736884921Can confirm, went from a 7 incher to a 3 incher, but the caliber remained the same.
I mean how else do you want to do itThere's no point in ever using a revolver in a game when pistols are available. Larger magazine, faster reload. The only way to balance it is damage.

>>736877613I prefer it over the deagle
>>736883291>according to MGS VIf you're curious about the basic mechanics behind this: All guns need some energy to put the next bullet in position. For revolvers this energy comes from you pressing the trigger with extra force. Modern pistols (and rifles) meanwhile redirect some of the gases that expand when the BANG happens inside the gun, and let that do the work.This means pistols are built around a certain amount of BANG, whereas revolvers don't care.So if you somehow end up reducing the BANG, for example to dampen recoil, it's possible that the pistol doesn't have enough excess gasses anymore to load the next round properly.Which kinda highlights a general advantage with revolvers: The mechanism is very simple, which makes them very robust (tho that rarely matters in normal scenarios).
>>736880426I wish devs sometimes threw some of the more outlandish designs at us:https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/06/15/why-cant-revolvers-be-suppressed-or-can-they/Like pic related that just clamps a big sound suppression chamber around the entire drum section.
>>736880114Goldeneye came first. The magnum could also shoot through more objects compared to pistols. But why is it a "meme" when magnums are pretty much high powered handguns?Games rarely have standard revolvers unless its a cowboy game.
>>736887437>Which kinda highlights a general advantage with revolvers: The mechanism is very simpleIt is not. The mechanism is much more complex.With one trigger pull the cylinder must rotate to the exact right position and stop there, the transfer bar must move into position, the hammer must be pulled and then at the break release. This is numerous moving parts all tied integrally together to function. One piece is out of tolerance the whole thing is fucked. Your timing goes out and the cylinder doesn't stop in the right spot, you can't fire.With a trigger pull on a glock, you are releasing the striker. That's it.
>>736877470>>736880114>>736880313>>736880743>laughs at you in .500 S&W
>>736881789Can hold .50 calibur rounds easier, casimgs dont fly out, very good at getting up close to someone and shooting them in the stomach or lower jaw
>>736877470My autism requires me to point out that the OP pic is airsoft. An older model too. More recent ones are much better at replicating the real frames.

>>736877470>starting pistol is the best weapon in the game
>>736881789Don't have to deal with long fat grips if you want magnum rounds, and said magnum rounds usually have rimmed casings which suck at being loaded in a magazine. You can still find rimless .357 magnum for revolvers and rimmed 9mm for revolvers but in general they are less common and usually more expensive unless you handload.
