About the High Caliber Revolver
A full reload takes 3.5 seconds, and switching to it takes 0.5 seconds. Aiming down the sights narrows its spread from 2.3° to 0.5°, 4.6 times tighter than firing from the hip. It accepts 6 weapon attachments. Mounted in an Auto Turret, it deals 50% of its normal damage.
There are 4 kinds of ammo for it: 5.56 Rifle Ammo, Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, Incendiary 5.56 Rifle Ammo and HV 5.56 Rifle Ammo. With the other ammo types, its damage per second is 60 for the Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo and 56 for the HV 5.56 Rifle Ammo. The HV 5.56 Rifle Ammo flies fastest, at 608 m/s, and the Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo and Incendiary 5.56 Rifle Ammo slowest, at 304 m/s.
From full condition it fires 400 shots with the 5.56 Rifle Ammo before it breaks, which is 66.7 full magazines. With the Explosive 5.56 Rifle Ammo, which wears the barrel harder, that drops to 134. Recycling it returns the Metal Spring (50%) and Gears (50%) only by chance.
On the tech tree it sits behind 10 other unlocks: Python Revolver, F1 Grenade, Semi-Automatic Pistol, Homemade Landmine, Pump Shotgun, 12 Gauge Buckshot and 4 more. In all, 23 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.
