please, you guys don't understand the glory of holding a goddamn revolver.
yes, it has to be a revolver, anything else is unacceptable, if it ain't a revolver, then what's the point? what's the meaning in life? (aside from the fact that Revolvers are known to have chambered high caliber rounds and has the most pleasing sound a 1-handed gun can make) they look fucking aesthetic alright? I cannot comprehend to compare it to a normal ass piece of molded steel.
rant over, tl;dr Revolvers look cool and shoot big load, any normal looking piece would just be a disappointment. (unless they're Resident Evil tier pistols)
now that I remember, Borderlands had Sniper Revolvers, those count.
