Heavy Revolver

One-handed coal ranged weapon

Hands: 1H
Size: Medium
Tech: Steam
Type: Ranged
Range: Medium
Damage: +4 Impact
Properties: Loud, slow

The gun of a cowpoke or the backup sidearm for a hunter, who might have to put down a bull or bear with it in an emergency, this big gun is quite common as a civilian weapon during this era. For the typical heavyset user, this is the "army" .44 caliber.

Properly, only single-action revolvers have the slow property, but double action was still somewhat unreliable in the steam era. In the combustion era double-action is perfected, making revolvers functionally identical to automatic pistols in Action.
