1873 COLT .38/.40 REVOLVER
Also known as the Colt Single-Action Army, this is a single action
(hammer must be cocked before firing) revolver that can fire .38 or .40
caliber rounds. It takes 1
melee round (15 seconds) to reload, (except O.C.C.'s: Gunslinger,
Lawman,
Gunfighter, or Bounty Hunter, who reload in half a melee round), and uses
up half of the character's attacks that (or the next) melee round. The
length of barrel varied from around 5 inches (12.7cm) to (in the case
of the cavalry version) 7 inches (17.78cm).
M.D.C. Damage: NA
S.D.C. Damage: .38 = 3D6 S.D.C. or .40 = 3D6+3 per round.
R.O.F.: With W.P. Handguns, each shot (cocking the hammer with
the thumb, and a pull of the trigger) counts as 1 melee action/attack.
Without W.P. Handguns, this takes 2 melee actions/attacks (cocking the
hammer and then pulling the trigger).
