Magnum Revolver

[WBK 176]

This is a pretty small suggestion, but I think it would really make handgun play a lot more interesting.

Instead of (as well as?) the revolver using .45 ACP ammo, I think it should take some form of magnum ammo. This is more in line with what I - and I'm sure many others - imagine when I think of a revolver. Either some form of iconic calibre, like the .357 or .44 ("It'll blow your head clean awff"), or perhaps the newer .460, which it seems could tear through an entire person.

Obviously this would increase revolver strength - possibly one shot kill, at most two - so revolvers would have to be more rare. Or if .45 ACP is kept and Magnum ammo is like a secondary type, then the Magnum ammo would be rare. And maybe make it a single-action, i.e. you have to manually cock the gun before firing the trigger.

But this would make handgun play alot more interesting. All handguns are now are barely even zed killers; you'd be lucky if you knocked down a viral with an entire round of anything other than a G17. Suddenly there would be a handgun which can be hidden like a secondary and lethal like a primary, plus with the longest range of all secondaries (100m), this would be quite an acceptable primary weapon. Plus it would be so badass, and I don't think I would ever get tired of the Dirty Harry impressions.

How about all three! On DayZero I found a Colt Anaconda and man it was beast. I loved it.
