I wish but somehow it kind of looked more like the JP police pistolsI’m expecting he’s gonna draw a Smith & Wesson 629 and use the “Dirty Harry” line in the next chapter.![]()
It is really quite noticeable when you read manga, that the Japanese experience with guns are almost exclusively airsoft. Let's take the revolver, it has a lower capacity, slower reload speed (unless you have a speedloader) requires more maintenance and cleaning to prevent malfunctions, then there is the cylinder gap, which is prone to get shit in it and also suffers from some pressure loss in comparison to a self contained gun like a pistol. There really isn't any practical reason to choose a revolver over a pistol other than rule of cool.
Revolvers actually have less maintenance than semi-auto handguns; for the most part they only need the barrel cleaned and a drop or two of oil every once in a while, while a semi-auto needs a partial disassembly to clean properly. There's also a lot more that can fail on a semi-auto. The real clincher in this case though would be the ease of swapping individual bullets, since you don't need to unload an entire magazine to swap just one bullet, and there's no worry of losing the magazine in the process.It is really quite noticeable when you read manga, that the Japanese experience with guns are almost exclusively airsoft.
