Description

The revolver is the staple weapon of the Wild West; operated by pulling back the hammer at the back, and pulling the trigger. A revolver can fire 6 times as a standard action without reloading. Reloading takes 6 bullets, is a full-round action, and provokes attacks of opportunity.

Normally, operating a revolver is a one-hand, standard action; however, you can shoot a revolver with two hands as a move action, at a –4 penalty on attack rolls. You can shoot a revolver with each hand, but you take a penalty on attack rolls as if attacking with two light weapons.
