Revolvers aren't necessarily restricted to six bullets. Six is the most common setup, with five a close second. The Smith & Wesson model 500, which is currently the most powerful production revolver, uses a five shot setup. Smaller caliber revolvers can get 10 (or possibly more) shots her barrel. Revolvers don't necessarily take longer to reload: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PDzE55esIE&feature=related[/url] In my experience, reloads (using speed loaders) can actually be done slightly faster than with pistols, but the shooter will still suffer from the (typically) lower ammo capacity. This does depend on the setup. Revolvers can use a number of different loading mechanisms. The most common revolver today is the swing out cylinder setup, in which the cylinder swings out to the side. These can be loaded quite fast but are slightly less stable than the second most common setup, that of the fixed cylinder. These have to be loaded entirely manually, one bullet at a time, but are stable enough to take very high caliber bullets. The revolvers in Trigun are top break, which reload very fast but aren't very stable designs. Despite their depiction in Trigun, they're actually not suitable for high calibers. A fourth is the unhandy fixed frame with a removable cylinder. These were the first designs and kinda suck. They're not used these days, but if the character is eccentric enough he might go for it. Another concern is the firing mechanism. There are single actions, where you cock the revolver yourself. They tend to be very precise, since no internal movements (or trigger effort) will be interfering with the precision of the shot. I'd probably give these a small accuracy bonus in exchange for being SS only. They can be "fanned" as shown in some westerns, but this makes them exceedingly inaccurate; doing so at anything but absolute point blank would be useless. Double action revolvers draw the hammer when you squeeze the trigger and then either lock the hammer or immediately fire. Variants have had double actions that drew back and locked the hammer with the first squeeze, then fired it with the next, whereas some have had two triggers. Alternatives include the recoil-driven revolver, such as the Mateba shown in Ghost in the Shell (it's an actual revolver, even if it wasn't depicted accurately). These tend to be very accurate and fully capable of firing in true SA mode. Note that revolvers CAN be silenced if they're sealed. Figure out what kind of reload and firing mechanisms he want, and then stat the weapons accordingly?
