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.

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.

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.

===Stats===

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.

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.
