.357 Magnum Revolver

The  is a weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The is a single action, fixed-cylinder revolver. It has an average firing rate, but makes up for it by being semi-powerful. Due to the gun having a fixed cylinder it is reloaded one round at a time. However, reloading can be interrupted between rounds. Because of this, it gives the gun the added advantage of being quickly available to fire again if only a single/few rounds are needed.

The iron sights are low to the gun with hardly any protrusion and thus are suited more to close range combat than anything else. In addition, the .357 cannot jam, resulting in it being an incredibly reliable weapon. Furthermore, it is considered an improved holdout weapon, and can be concealed and taken into weapon-free locations so long as your sneak skill is 50 or greater. As such the .357 magnum revolver can be a very effective weapon in earlier levels as there is an abundance of .357 magnum rounds as well as the weapon itself.

The .357 can fire a total of 995 standard rounds before breaking. This gun requires a character with a strength of 3 or greater to be wielded effectively.

The is visually represented as a somewhat worn, medium-gray revolver. While the action and barrel are constructed of steel or iron, the grip appears to be carved from an antler. Some two hundred years ago this was likely a fine, highly performing weapon, but years of elemental and human abuse have eroded the pistol, leaving it a weathered, though still serviceable revolver.

Having 100 Guns skill, the Cowboy perk, .357 JFP rounds and assuming the revolver is in full condition AND it has the long barrel attached - It will deal 46 damage per shot.

The .357 magnum revolver can be repaired with other .357 magnum revolvers, or any other revolver if the Jury Rigging perk has been obtained.
