Revolvers can be crafted at a [[machining table]] once the [[Research#Gunsmithing|Gunsmithing]] research has been completed from {{Required Resources}}s and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. A crafting skill of at least 3 is required.

A revolver is also one of the three starting weapons in the standard crashlanded [[scenario system|scenario]], along with a [[bolt-action rifle]] and [[plasteel]] [[knife]].

A revolver is also given at the beginning with the [[Scenario system#Crashlanded|Crashlanded scenario]].
+
==Analysis==
 +
The revolver has a fairly good damage output for a single-shot weapon, only slightly trailing the [[autopistol]] in this aspect. Thanks to its fairly short time between shots and its good close-up accuracy, the revolver's a good weapon for low-skilled shooters. It also has a high enough stopping power to stagger advancing [[human]]s or [[Lancer|human-]][[Scyther|sized]] [[mechanoid]]s. The revolver is also very easy to acquire because earlygame raiders often use it, and because of its low manufacturing costs and technology requirements.
  
−
== Analysis ==
+
However, like the autopistol (though to a lesser extent), the revolver isn't particularly suited to medium-range engagements despite having the range to do so due to its fairly poor accuracy at those distances; even the [[recurve bow]] can keep up in those engagements, while the [[greatbow]] and [[bolt-action rifle]] easily surpass it.
−
The revolver is clearly an early game weapon. Outside of starting with one, revolvers are very easy to acquire, as early game raiders often use them and they are cheap to both research and make.
 
  
−
For early colonies, the revolver works as a short-medium ranged weapon. It deals decent damage with single shot. It is slightly worse for {{DPS}} than the [[autopistol]] of the same [[quality]] at all ranges. But unlike the autopistol, the revolver has a high enough stopping power to stagger advancing [[human]]s or [[Lancer|human-]][[Scyther|sized]] [[mechanoid]]s. It is better than the [[bolt-action rifle]] for close ranged combat - when combat happens < 12 tiles away.
+
The revolver is best suited as a close-quarters weapon overall owing to its accuracy profile, although it can be used as a support weapon to slow down enemies that are attempting to close distance (melee units, shotgunners etc.). This weapon's also a somewhat viable hunting weapon for lower-risk game, but the bolt-action rifle will still net better results.
  
−
Despite having a decent range, the revolver isn't particularly suited to medium-range engagements, which is around 15 or more tiles. A [[bolt-action rifle]] or [[greatbow]] are better at range, and even the [[recurve bow]] can keep up. It's best suited as a close-quarters weapon, and can stagger pawns attempting to close distance. As a hunting weapon, the bolt action rifle is better, but a revolver still fairs decent results.
+
Against an unarmored human, a revolver can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 3 hits to the head, 2 hits to the neck or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 3 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 6 hits (~16.7 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.  
  
−
A very high quality revolver, such as from an early [[Mental inspiration#Inspired creativity|inspiration]], has surprising longevity. A Legendary Revolver's {{DPS}} is competitive with that of an Excellent [[Heavy SMG]] at all but very close range, while offering better single point damage, range, and {{AP}}. They should not be specifically farmed for - don't spend an inspiration on a revolver when you can make a HSMG, but any that are acquired should be considered even until either masterworks become common or true end-game weapons are acquired.
+
Overall, the revolver is best paired with a careful shooter up to the equivalent of a level 21, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.
