Sorry for what? My daddy taught me not to be ashamed of my guns. especially since It's in such good size and all.
>>
>>388862523
Because its a waste of ammo
>>
>>388861474
Because modern guns have replaced the archaic revolver. They're obsolete and have no place in modern media.
>>
>>388861474

Because they're heavy.

But heavy is good.

Heavy is reliable.

If it doesn't work, you can always hit them with it.

Also, offers great protection from zee Germans.
>>
Because most shooters are set in the modern age or future where revolvers would be objectively obsolete.

Because they're not.
You can find one in every other game, but most games don't have more than that single token revolver to appease the revolve hipsters.

>>388866721
OK... Starting with the GIGN, whose main sidearm of choice is indeed .357 Magnum revolver.
The reasons they chose this over modern automatics?

-No slide moving backwards when shot, hitting the ballistic shield or environment, and thus jamming.
-Greater stopping power than 9mm and faster than .45ACP
-Lower ammo-cap -> operator has to stay calm and aim, which is important in hostage situations.
-You can load tons of different ammo types into the cylinder, and it will fire.

I like Tripwire's animators and all, but it would have been cool if they had modeled the guns properly

the whole thing about it was that it had good hipfire and could fire very quickly but on console destiny you just didn't want to hipfire period in my experience

Shit like that is the reason why I don't use it as my personal revolver. Instead I just use pic related, even if it is a modded revolver.

it's still pretty good in close quarters, I enjoyed using it when I had to get the chaperone

>>388875315
well, you could think up some justification like "i took up the gun of my friend who died in the wilderness/in battle" but it's going to be loose

It ain't bad to acknowledge NV's unofficial expansion pack.
