No, revolvers are pistols, they also can be equipped by any (non-MAX) class.
If not, then it's a bug, and go report it now.
What I was meaning is that it doesn't carry over to each class, meaning buying one for a medic will not allow you to equip it to your LA...
ALSO!!!
IF your telling me a SIX SHOT (there is larger chambers, but lets stick to classics), CHAMBER LOADED, ROTATION CYLINDER, HANDCANNON is an everyday Pistol. I will smack you. When you reload the Revolvers in game you will note that each shell is technically loaded separately...
Just cause it has the body of what looks to be like any other pistol in the game, DOES NOT MAKE THEM A BASIC PISTOL...
A Pistol is a light arm, magazine loaded Handgun. That is that its feed from below into the grip itself and is slide loaded with a hammer mechanism...
From the Wiki...
Revolvers have a number of firing chambers or "charge holes" in a revolving cylinder; each chamber in the cylinder is loaded with a single cartridge. Semi-automatic pistols have a single fixed firing chamber machined into the rear of the barrel, and a magazine, usually removable, so they can be used to fire more than one round. Heh, Briggs Vanu just just won an alert by a large margin.
Everyone felt pretty good about themselves and the resulting afterparty was crazy.
After everyone had far too many concussion grenades (it was only very recently that the VS discovered their usefulness in combat, we just thought they were for raves), we decided to get a galaxy each and fly into the TR warpgate.
Amidst Ride of the Valkyries from at least four sources (and people yelling it through chat) and zealous /yells, a wave of Galaxies crashed into the TR warpgate.
There was like one TR there, he was all "Oh, hey guys"
I love this game
Hmmmm... Sounds like its the VS's turn to be 4th Factioned. For once the 4th Faction is actually going VS instead of NC. The only ever reason NC really won the Alerts on Briggs all the time at the start was cause the VS and TR never came, oh sure some outfits brought people over, but the main forces of the TR/VS stayed on Indar like they always do...
Now with the Lattice system on Indar, those that don't like/understand it come to the Alerts or just play on the other maps now...
