Ol' Navy revolver

Ol&#39; Navy revolver is a tier 1 handgun in Wasteland 2.

Description
This navy hoss may only be a colt but it can kick like an army mule

Characteristics
The weapon alerts enemies (generates noise) in a 15 unit radius.

A potential replacement for your starting pistols until you get your hands on better models. While it does slightly more damage than the same-tier .38 Semi-Automatic pistol, it suffers from an increased AP cost which makes it less effective in the hands of a more or less combat-oriented character (with 9+ APs). Simply put, it will always do one shot less than the pistol, which practically nullifies the damage margin. However, since you're not going to use both of the tier-1 handguns for that long, it doesn't really matter too much.

Trivia

 * The Colt Model 1851 Navy cap & ball .36-caliber revolver was a six-shot, single-action percussion weapon produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company from 1861 until 1873. It incorporated the "creeping" or ratchet loading lever and round barrel of the .44-caliber Army Model of 1860 but had a barrel one half inch shorter, at 7.5 inches. It saw widespread use in the American Civil War and on the American Western frontier. In that time this revolver was converted to fire the .38 heeled bullet metallic cartridge.
