Hunting Revolver

The hunting revolver is a pistol in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The hunting revolver is a large single-action revolver that fires .45-70 Gov't rounds. It does significantly more damage than the .44 magnum revolver and comes with a scope, versus requiring a modification as with the .44 magnum. Its high base damage is second only to the Ranger Sequoia when compared with other single-handed bullet weapons.

The hunting revolver's greatest weakness is its ammunition. Few vendors sell any rounds of the .45-70 caliber, and the few that do usually only sell it in the Hollow Point variety, making it impractical for use against armored targets. The armor piercing variant can only be crafted if the player has the Hand Loader perk, and provides a significant gun condition penalty with use.

Variants
