Title: Why Revolver?
Post by: Who Killed Bambi on January 06, 2011, 05:46:14 pm: (http://fo2238.fodev.net/wiki/images/d/df/Magnum2.gif)

Revolvers are a type of pistol that has a rotating cylinder containing a number of firing chambers. They typically hold 5 or 6 rounds, each held in its own firing chamber. They are generally cheaper to purchase than a semi-automatic, with a new one from a major manufacturer such as Sha Enin or Gun Runners being in the neighborhood of 310 caps.

The major benefits of this type of handgun include:
They are easier to learn to manipulate, because there is generally fewer functions than a typical semi-auto. (shoot - hit)

They are normally easier for weaker handed persons to operate. (4 str.) This is due to the lack of a slide.

They are generally more reliable.( low deterioration)

There is more choice of ammunition. (.44 Magnum JHP, .44 Magnum FMJ)

I prefer revolvers for base/tent defense, as a home protection weapon will be stored loaded for an extended period of time.

I also recommend them for someone who is not going to train.
