Revolvers

As mentioned in the previous sub-page, revolvers occupy their own subcategory of handguns.

"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.

 ==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 the other single-action revolvers added to the game later, including the [[Reichsrevolver M1879]] and the [[Nagant M1895]]; Update #79 further expanded upon this by limiting it to the older single-actions, with more modern revolvers (such as the [[Freedom Arms Model 83|Model 83 below]]) featuring transfer-bar safeties to prevent accidental discharges.

+==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.

+[[File:H3VR Dardick Carbine Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|That being said, the longer barrel, forend, and stock all make for an overall easier shooting experience than that of the handgun. Which, in turn, makes getting a good firing/ejecting screencap easier as well.]]
+[[File:H3VR Dardick Carbine Suppressor.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Oh, and if all this weren't sufficiently silly for you, the largely-sealed design of the Dardick means that it (in both handgun and carbine forms) can take suppressors.

 *"Slugger" rounds (the weapon's default ammunition type; a hard-hitting, high-impact round),
 *Fragmentation rounds (yes, the weapon can fire grenades),

 *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).

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 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.
