Revolver

A revolver is a repeating firearm that has a revolving cylinder containing multiple chambers and at least one barrel for firing.

Police pistol

The police pistol is a double-action .357 revolver with a swing-out cylinder similar to that of a .44 magnum revolver instead of a loading gate like the .357 Magnum revolver. Though it is a double-action, it is fired by the Courier in single-action form with the hammer being cocked back after each shot to increase accuracy. In comparison to the .357 magnum, it features a shorter barrel and a worn matte black finish. It also lacks rear sights and has a shorter hammer with a flat, textured spur.

.44 Pistol


The .44 pistol (despite its name) is a double-action revolver, though users will cock the hammer after each shot similarly to a single-action. The .44 pistol can be modified anyway the user wants it. Additionally, the .44 pistol reloads faster, due to each round being loaded at once with a moon clip.

Pipe revolver pistol


Like other pipe weapons, pipe revolvers are crude, makeshift weapons manufactured by resourceful smiths from before the Great War in gangland Detroit. The pipe revolver has found continued use more than 200 years in areas such as the Commonwealth due to ease of crafting from abundant rusted piping and scrap metal. While the pipe revolver is easy to make, wielding one is not the case. The pipe revolver is single-action weapon and requires the hammer to be pulled back before each shot, and recoil from each shot is near unwieldy due to the lightness of the revolver from the rounds it fires (which vary from .38 to larger calibers such as .308). However, reloading is fast as the use of a moon clip enables the user to reload within seconds.

Western revolver


A double-action revolver chambered in .44 caliber used in Nuka-World's Dry Rock Gulch theme park attraction. Nickel plated and with a pale, worn wood grip for authenticity, the revolver was used to allow park guests to duel against One-Eyed Ike. Despite being handed to park guests for participating in park attractions, the western revolver is a serious weapon, outclassing the more commonplace .44 pistol. Reloading is also similar to the .44 pistol, with the cylinder swinging out to eject all spent rounds and a moon clip being used quickly reload the cylinder fully.
