Revolvers

Revolvers or "Wheel Guns" have been a common style of handgun for several centuries, originally holding more rounds than traditional single-shot guns, after the rise of automatics they became prefered as an emergency weapon as their mechanisms are much less likely to jam, and because they could load different ammunition or even allow customization of ammo load. After the Fall, Revolvers of several types are still used for these purposes, by those who want slightly more stopping power, control over ammunition loads, or who don't trust modern kinetic designs. Modern revolvers are made with advanced polymer frames to reduce weight and speed production, and can load the same style of caseless ammunition as other kinetics. They are all double-action or have a recoil based action, and are designed to be used with speedloaders or have disposable cylinders. Antique revolvers may require additional Complex actions to reload. In addition to having Smartlink and Safety Systems, all modern revolvers are equipped with mesh-controlled "smart cylinders" which allow you to load specific chambers with ammunition and freely switch to them quickly (i/e have the Smart Magazine effect). Because of their design, Revolvers cannot be equipped with Extended Magazines or Sound Suppressors, but can be Railguns.

Snubnose Revolver: Ultra-compact revolver, designed to be pocketed easily. These typically fire from the bottom cylinder instead of the top in order to better manage recoil. They are used as an emergency weapon by some military and law enforcement, or a self-defense weapon. Concealable. [Minor] (R)

Revolver: Standard size revolver. Uses slightly heavier ammunition than normal pistols, with a decent barrel length giving it increased power and range over conventional automatics, which helps mitigate the small ammo capacity. [Minor] (R)
2d10+1d6 DV SA Ammo 7 Range 50

Hunting Revolver: A veritable "hand cannon", these revolvers have very long barrels and high caliber ammo (more akin to a rifle than a pistol round), and were originally used for sport shooting. Some are still used this way, but they may also be used as a showy equalizer. Modern morphs can fire them one-handed, but two hands is recommended for stability. Knockdown, Long. [Minor] (R)
2d10+1d6+2 DV SA Ammo 5 Range 100

Polygun Revolver: Shape-adjusting version of the revolver. Using this technology, it can manipulate barrel size and shape and the cylinder to accept a variety of ammunition and alter it's profile. Can switch between Snubnose, Revolver and Hunting Revolver in 3 Action Turns, using the original weapon's profile, but each accepts different ammunition. [Moderate] (R)
