Hunting Revolver (GRA)

The hunting revolver (GRA) is a pistol in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Characteristics
The hunting revolver is a large, double-action revolver that fires .45-70 Gov't ammunition. It does significantly more damage in comparison to the .44 Magnum revolver and comes with a scope, as opposed to the .44 Magnum, where the scope is a modification. The hunting revolver scope also offers a more powerful magnification at 2.46x, compared to the 1.86x magnification for the .44 Magnum scope. When compared with other single-handed guns, its base damage is second only to the Ranger Sequoia.

Despite being a one-handed weapon, the hunting revolver is not a holdout weapon.

Durability
The hunting revolver (GRA) can fire a total of about 545 standard rounds, the equivalent of 109 reloads, or 91 reloads when modded with the 6 shot cylinder, from full condition before breaking.

Bugs

 * If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have a hunting revolver equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again.
 * Despite the hunting rev. 6-shot cylinder mod being added, the reloading animation still displays a 5-shot cylinder.
