Hunting Revolver

The Hunting Revolver is a pistol $$

Gameplay
The Hunting Revolver is a large, double-action revolver that fires .45-70 Gov't ammunition. It has a scope attached by default, which grants a decent magnification at 2.46x. The revolver's base damage of 58 is the second highest of any non-energy pistol, and is surpassed only by the Ranger Sequoia. The weapon has a few drawbacks, including its low durability compared to other revolvers, and the relative scarcity of its ammunition type.

Despite being a one-handed revolver, the Hunting Revolver is not a holdout weapon, meaning that, even at a Sneak skill of 100, it will not pass a search when entering a weapon-free location, such as a casino.

Durability
The Hunting Revolver can fire a total of about 545 standard rounds, the equivalent of 109 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Behind the scenes
The Hunting Revolver is based on the Magnum Research BFR, with elements taken from the Bison Bull as well.

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.
