Revolvers make me feel sad

[KingKire]

i cant find a use for them. m4a3 is the only way to go and it makes me feel sad haha. Tried every combo, nothin works, anyone have any luck?

[Boersgard]

I don't even like the M4A3

I've taken to using grenades as my secondary

[Simo94]

sad haha

The pistols damage is laughable while the revolver takes too long to reload in a pinch to be reliable to all but the most disciplined marines.

But if you want to keep your revolver handy. I'd advise keeping a loose handful of magnum rounds. So you can refill the chamber without wasting bullets. Just don't be in the middle of a fight when doing so.

You can put bayonet on Revolver and it's where its usefulness is ending. You can try add QA and then revolver fires at pretty decent rate. I like keeping revolver on my belt as Pyro PFC becouse bullets from it are able to hurt ravs.

The only good a revolver can do, is make you look cool by spinning it.

That's it.

What do you expect when the primary rifle of the USCM already takes a lot of bullets to kill a xeno?

Besides, the reload time combined with low ammo capacity is exactly the reason modern armies don't use them anymore.

Revolvers, apparently, do about half a runner's health in a single hit and are loud on top of having decent AP. This makes it a good choice for a last-resort weapon since getting shot by a revolver tends to make lone benos back off. I've seen runners almost teleport away when hit with it and it's actually saved me from a cautious QUEEN on occasion, so if you know the right moment to pull it out and can get a good shot in, it's great at buying you some breathing room against a lone xenos, but its accuracy at range leaves a lot to be desired. A friend and I joked that if you put a BC on it you basically get Discount Dan's Mateba though.

I am deeply ashamed to admit it.
But I, Master of the Unga, was once bested by a single marine with a revolver while playing Ancient Runner 69.

This fucking Revolver Ocelot hit me three consecutive times while I was running circles around him. He fucking hit me from like 5 tiles away!
Three shots and I was crit.

He was pretty good!

I think what kills the revolver is the micro that a player has to do to reload the revolver, which i think is very execessive compared to other weapons and reload animations.

the part that gets me is that you have to manually shut the revolver cylinder after you load in the bullets. Its the equivlent of cocking the m4a1, or pulling back the charging handle for the m41a pulse rifle. The reload process already assumes that you charge the weapon into the fire state when you load in the ammunition (bar the shotgun, which.... may or may not want to be updated to not have the pump style? who knows... it does add to flavor, but it is annoying)

Proposed update to revolvers reload cycle.

m44 right now is just shit, that's what it is

too much recoil for the pretty nerfed damage of an excuse for a .44 magnum. And if it wasnt already hard enough to tag something with it, it also comes with a totally shit accuracy.

and theyre also a pain to reload.

The only thing revolvers are good for?

In most servers you just have to use a speed loader on a revolver to replace any missing or spent rounds, if reloading was that quick I'd always use it
