Added in Update #79, the Continental Arms Ladies' Companion makes its media debut in ''H3''; it holds the distinction of being the game's oldest firearm (dating to the 1860s), taking that title from the earlier-added [[Remington Rolling Block]] pistol.

Added in Update #99's 5th alpha build as a rather belated reward for the winner of the Meatmas postcard contest back in 2016, the Dardick Model 1500 magazine-fed revolver (yes, you read that right) makes its first known media appearance in ''H3VR''. Two versions are available - the standard revolver, and a version fitted with the "Switch-Hitter" carbine conversion kit (a factory option); both chamber the .38 Tround cartridge, a round understandably used by nothing else in the game.

=="Mammonth"==
This fictional revolver, originally designed by Anton Hand for the game ''Prodeus'', was added in Update #105 Experimental Build 3. It is a massive single-action, top-break revolver taking inspiration from the [[Webley]] line, with a "demonic" aesthetic, complete with specialty sounds and visual effects. It chambers the proprietary ".666 Chaos" round (of which it fittingly holds 6), with only one sub-type, "Infernal", being available.
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Mammonth, in its natural habitat - a dimly red-illuminated room in a closed-in, facility-esque map full of monsters inspired by classic 90s shooters.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Picking up the revolver seemingly wakes it up; the segments around the "barrel" begin floating, with red smoke and arcing electricity emanating from within, and a vaguely growly, fleshy sound effect plays. Also, shoutout to whoever took the time to line the two inverted-cross screw slots up on either side of the frame.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Opening.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pushing the Webley-style frame latch, and popping open the cylinder...]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Speedloader.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...before pausing to take a look at some of the completely normal ammunition it fires. Note the lack of a barrel opening in front of the cylinder; this is actually intentional - Mammonth lacks a "barrel" in the conventional sense, with the "projectile" merely serving as a source of power for a primarily energy-based projectile - a bit like a smaller-scale version of the Casaba-Howitzer project, but with what appear to be the souls of the damned in place of nuclear bombs.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in the 6 .666 rounds, pretty much as normal.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Closing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Shutting the revolver is likewise a typical affair, if you can ignore the slight biological undertones to the sound it makes.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Inactive.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Attempting to aim the revolver; while aiming any weapon without holding it is a tricky affair, Mammonth simply won't let you - the front sight is attached to one of the floating "barrel" segments, so it doesn't line up with the rear sight unless the gun's "awake".]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|There we go, much better. (And yes, the sights do glow. Most of this gun does.)]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Cocking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Of course, being a single-action revolver, the hammer has to be cocked for this to mean much; this also shuts the "mouth" formed by the hammer and the top of the grip tang, with a sound that's less of a "click" and more of a "clank". Now might be a good time to mention that, unlike some of the game's less advanced (or perhaps less primordial) single-action revolvers, Mammonth is drop-safe.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing Mammonth, with a sound that's part explosion and part anguished scream; even without the SFX, it's easy to see why the round is suffixed "Chaos". This is, in a sense, one of the weapon's balancing drawbacks (both here and in ''Prodeus'') - it's so large, and its firing effects are so flashy, that at times it's genuinely hard to tell what's going on. Especially if you fan-fire it - which, yes, you can do.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Trail.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Holding the weapon-creature at a different angle while firing shows off another aspect of its VFX; the round leaves behind a trail of glowing, shifting runes, with a small (non-damaging) explosion at the site of impact.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Ejecting.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cracking open the revolver; the ejector star doesn't seem to move during this process, though with Mammonth being what it is, it could very well just be spitting the cases out of its own accord.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Cases.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a look at a couple of fired cases; there's apparently still some energy left over after the round is fired - though, as anyone who's had a spent case go down their shirt will tell you, this isn't exactly abnormal. There's also clearly a considerable amount of energy in the hammer spring - at least, if the completely punched-in primer is anything to go by.]]
[[File:H3VR Mammonth Piercing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Demonstrating (emphasis on the first 5 letters) another one of Mammonth's properties; aside from dealing massive amounts of damage per shot, it also has impressive piercing abilities, with a single shot being able to punch through several inches of solid concrete. Notably, the explosion effect and rune-trail don't "follow" the round through the barrier, instead occuring/stopping (respectively) at the location of the first impact. In fairness, it is quite literally demon magic, so it doesn't really need to make all that much sense to mortal minds such as ours.]]

==OTs-38===
==OTs-38==
The [[OTs-38]] was added in the fifth alpha of Update #99. It is the first (and, so far, the only) firearm in the game chambered in 7.62x42mm SP-4 (a round added long before the revolver itself); thanks to this, it is one of the quietest guns in the game (second only to the [[Welrod]] with a fresh stack of wipes), and the quietest one that can be fired rapidly.

[[File:H3VR LCR Cocking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A curious note: upon introduction, the LCR's hammer could be cocked, despite being completely internal; this was later fixed, so you can just treat this as a shot of someone pulling the trigger partway back instead. Though, as a note of trivia, Ruger does offer a version of the LCR that ''is'' capable of this called the LCRx, which features an external hammer spur.]]

"B-600"
The first (and largest) revolver added in Update #79 was a fictional design known as the "B-600", chambered in a proprietary ".600 Magnum Bolt" cartridge. It is based on a design called the "M500", created by 3D artist Axel Kraefft, albeit scaled up to its new, larger cartridge, and given a different finish.

Update #39 added the Chiappa Rhino to the game's arsenal; rather than simply choosing one version, H3 made the rather impressive choice of adding all of them - the 20DS, the 40DS, the 50DS, and the 60DS.
The 1st alpha build of Update #70 brought along another much-requested addition, a Colt Python, with wooden grips, an 8-inch barrel, and a nickel finish.
The "Meat Fortress" Team Fortress 2 crossover event added a replica of that game's Spy's Revolver, a stylized Python with pearl grips, a 6-inch barrel, and a deep-blued (i.e. nearly black) finish. A variation thereof was added in Update #86, under the name "Le Petite Liaison"; Le Petite Liaison features a nickel finish, a shortened barrel (roughly 4"), no sights, an integrated laser, and a bobbed, shrouded hammer.

Colt Single Action Army
Update #42 made the Colt SAA available for use in-game, specifically the 5.5" barreled model; this was the first single-action revolver added to H3. Of note is that the weapon will fire if it is dropped on the hammer, provided that the hammer is uncocked and resting on a loaded chamber. This interesting, realistic touch is a trait shared by some of the other single-action revolvers added to the game later, for example the Reichsrevolver M1879; Update #79 further expanded upon this by limiting it to the older single-actions, with more modern revolvers (such as the Model 83 below) featuring transfer-bar safeties to prevent accidental discharges.
The SAA was actually present in the game long before Update #42, albeit not in physical form; the "Amendment 35" poster in the indoor shooting range features 2.
Continental Arms Ladies' Companion
Added in Update #79, the Continental Arms Ladies' Companion makes its media debut in H3; at the time of its introduction, it held the distinction of being the game's oldest firearm (dating to the 1860s), taking that title from the earlier-added Remington Rolling Block pistol.
Dardick Model 1500
Added in Update #99's 5th alpha build as a rather belated reward for the winner of the Meatmas postcard contest back in 2016, the Dardick Model 1500 magazine-fed revolver (yes, you read that right) makes its first known media appearance in H3VR. Two versions are available - the standard revolver, and a version fitted with the "Switch-Hitter" carbine conversion kit (a factory option); both chamber the .38 Tround cartridge, a round understandably used by nothing else in the game.
Freedom Arms Model 83
Added in Update #79, the Freedom Arms Model 83 is one of H3's two first firearms chambered in .454 Casull (a round which had been added a while earlier).
LAPD 2019 Blaster
Update #43 introduced the LAPD 2019 Blaster from Blade Runner, referring to it as the "LAPD 2019 Special" (another one of its common names). It is perhaps one of the most intricate depictions of the weapon in any piece of media (and, when it was introduced, the most complex firearm in the game):
The weapon, at its core, is a 5-shot, swing-out cylinder DAO revolver, chambered for the proprietary (and fictional) 10mm DSM (Discarding Sabot Magnetic) cartridge. This cartridge has a variety of available ammo types, including:
"Slugger" rounds (the weapon's default ammunition type; a hard-hitting, high-impact round),
Fragmentation rounds (yes, the weapon can fire grenades),
"Turbo Penetrator" rounds (a high-velocity armor-piercing round that doesn't impart much energy, but can penetrate a variety of targets),
and highly sensitive, surface-adhering, low-velocity, motion-sensitive proximity mine rounds (while the sensitivity is nice for dealing with enemies, it also means that they can be detonated by other things, including miscellaneous nearby moving objects, other proximity mines as they fly through the air, and even simply being fired in the charged mode, meaning that their sensitivity can be either a benefit or a hazard).
Furthermore, the hollow underneath the weapon's barrel is storage for the weapon's batteries (which bring the profile fully into line with the original prop, complete with LEDs that change color as the battery loses charge) used in the railgun-assisted mode, which dramatically increases muzzle velocity, at the cost of creating massive amounts of heat (as one would expect from a railgun).
To help slow the weapon's overheating, heat sinks (called "thermal clips" in-game) are placed into what was the Steyr Mannlicher Model SL's chamber on the original prop (the bolt handle is turned to expose the heat sink, and pulled back to eject it if necessary); these have to be replaced regularly to prevent the weapon from overheating critically. As the weapon overheats, its barrel will begin to put off steam, then glow progressively brighter and brighter, while the accuracy and battery efficiency suffer; eventually, if the weapon reaches its highest heat level, its barrel will be permanently damaged, causing a significant drop in accuracy even after the weapon cools down.
Magnum Research BFR
Update #77's first alpha build added an engraved, gold-decorated Magnum Research BFR in .45-70 Government, a much-requested addition.
Mateba Sei Unica
Added in Update #79, the much-requested Mateba Sei Unica is available in H3, chambered in .357 Magnum. Notably, the game simulates the Sei Unica's self-cocking nature, but not the reciprocation of its barrel and upper frame; the stated reasons for this are the additional coding complexity (and performance taxation) mandated by such a system, and the fact that the total cycling process takes less than one ninetieth of a second (which would make it impossible to see on most current-gen VR headsets anyways). This was changed in Update #99 Alpha 5, with the reciprocation slowed down enough to be visible in VR.
"Mammonth"
This fictional revolver, originally designed by Anton Hand for the game Prodeus, was added in Update #105 Experimental Build 3. It is a massive single-action, top-break revolver taking inspiration from the Webley line, with a "demonic" aesthetic, complete with specialty sounds and visual effects. It chambers the proprietary ".666 Chaos" round (of which it fittingly holds 6), with only one sub-type, "Infernal", being available.
MP-412 REX
The much-requested MP-412 REX was added in Update #99 Alpha 4. It is the game's first (and only) top-break revolver chambered in .357 Magnum.
Nagant M1895
The Nagant M1895 was added through Update #47. It holds 7 rounds of 7.62x38mmR Nagant ammunition, of which only it uses. Notably, it is treated as single-action only, the reasons for this being twofold: the weapon was built to use the same code set as the Colt SAA and Reichsrevolver M1879, and the Nagant has a notoriously heavy trigger pull in double-action due to its unique gas-seal mechanism; while it wasn't the original intended purpose, this also allows the weapon to be effectively suppressed, a capability that is emulated in-game. This single-action behavior could also be indicative of the so-called "Private's Model" variant of the Nagant, which was in fact SAO.
OTs-38
The OTs-38 was added in the fifth alpha of Update #99. It is the first (and, so far, the only) firearm in the game chambered in 7.62x42mm SP-4 (a round added long before the revolver itself); thanks to this, it is one of the quietest guns in the game (second only to the Welrod with a fresh stack of wipes), and the quietest one that can be fired rapidly.
Reichsrevolver M1879
Added through the long-awaited Update #45, the Reichsrevolver M1879 is available for use in-game, and is (understandably) the only weapon in-game to use the 10.6x25mmR cartridge.
The other fictional revolver added in Update #79, the "RS-15" is a compact top-break double-action revolver, chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum. The model is an original design from 3D artist Egor Protonov; it was originally chambered in .45 Long Colt, but was scaled down for use in H3.
Ruger Blackhawk
Another revolver added in Update #79, the Ruger Blackhawk is available in-game, known simply as the "Hawk357"; as the name implies, it is chambered in .357 Magnum, with a 4-inch barrel, a glossy black finish, adjustable target sights, and wooden grips.
Ruger LCR
The first experimental build of Update #102 added a Ruger LCR, specifically the .22 LR version, under the name "LC22r".
Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38
One of the gifts from the final day of the 2018 Meatmas event, the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38 (not to be confused with the Smith & Wesson Model 38, which is also often called the "Bodyguard") makes its first documented video game appearance in H3VR.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
A 5"-barreled Smith & Wesson Model 10 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in the Wurstworld update.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
The Smith & Wesson Model 29 is one of the available firearms in-game, having been added in the very first update to the game after its release. Update #79 replaced the original 8 3/8"-barreled model with a more worn-looking 6" one.
Smith & Wesson Model 327 R8
The Smith & Wesson Model 327 R8 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in the 2016 Meatmas update. Uniquely, the revolver in-game is a left-handed model, the cylinder swinging out to the right instead of the left as is normally the case.
Added in the 7th alpha build of Update #59, the Smith & Wesson Model 500 makes its mark as the most powerful (per-shot) non-fictional handgun in the game. The subsequent build added a 2.75"-barreled ES (Emergency Survival) variant, known in-game as the "Junior" version.
A fictional third version was added in the 2019 April Fools' Day update, known as the "Triple Regret". This version is largely the same as the "Junior", save for its cylinder, which holds 3 rounds of .50 BMG; because of this, it is placed alongside the anti-materiel rifles in-game.
"Triple Regret"
Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic
Added in Update #79, the Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic is available in-game, featuring custom wooden grips, an 8" barrel, and the same worn finish as the standard Model 29.
Smith & Wesson Model 629 Stealth Hunter/686P Hybrid
One of the weapons added in the first Meatmas update was a strange hybrid of Smith & Wesson revolvers, with the overall appearance of a Model 629 Stealth Hunter, but the .357 Magnum chambering and 7-shot cylinder of a Model 686P. It was later removed in Update #79, being replaced with the standard Stealth Hunter above.
Smith & Wesson Schofield
Added in Update #78, the much-awaited Smith & Wesson Schofield is available in H3, being only its second break-action revolver. Notably, the in-game revolver is chambered in .44-40 WCF (the first weapon in-game to use the round); like the in-game Winchester Model 1873, this suggests a modern variant, rather than an original-production model. The parent Smith & Wesson Model 3 was available in .44-40 WCF during its original production, but the in-game model's latch system makes it clear that it's the Schofield variant rather than the Model 3.
Taurus Raging Bull
Another revolver added in Update #79 the Taurus Raging Bull holds the distinction of being H3's other first .454 Casull revolver, and its sole first double-action one.
Taurus Raging Hunter
The Taurus Raging Hunter in .44 Magnum was added in Update #101 for Meatmas 2021, under the name "Hunter 44".
Taurus Raging Judge
The Taurus Raging Judge was added on day 11 of the Meatmas 2022 advent calendar event. It is the first firearm in the game to use .410 bore shells, and features a six round cylinder.
The Webley Mk VI has been added with the release of Update #47. It was initially chambered for the ".454 Webley" round, a mis-writing of .455 Webley; this error was later corrected. Notably, it is also the first top-break revolver in the game.
