Revolver
A standard eight shot revolver.
The Revolver is a semi-automatic weapon in Rust. Its default ammo is the Pistol Bullet. It deals 35 damage per shot at 343 shots per minute from its 8-round magazine. You craft it at a Level 1 Workbench, and its blueprint costs 40 scrap to research.
About the Revolver
A full reload takes 3.4 seconds, and switching to it takes 0.5 seconds. Aiming down the sights narrows its spread from 2.75° to 0.75°, 3.7 times tighter than firing from the hip. Its 5 compatible attachments include a silencer. Mounted in an Auto Turret, it deals 35% of its normal damage.
There are 3 kinds of ammo for it: Pistol Bullet, Incendiary Pistol Bullet and HV Pistol Ammo. With the remaining ammo type, its damage per second is 61 for the HV Pistol Ammo. The HV Pistol Ammo flies fastest, at 400 m/s, and the Incendiary Pistol Bullet slowest, at 225 m/s.
From full condition it fires 400 shots with the Pistol Bullet before it breaks, which is 50 full magazines.
On the tech tree it sits behind 12 other unlocks: Pistol Bullet, Flare, Waterpipe Shotgun, Salvaged Cleaver, Mace, Mini Crossbow and 6 more. It is for sale at 2 vendors: Water Well Shop Keeper for 100 to 130 scrap and Weapons for 200 scrap. In all, 24 loot sources drop it; the full list of where it drops gives the chance for each.
