>game is set in a near future or scifi setting>sidearm is a big bulky revolver
doesn't eject casings and caseless shit never works right
>>750545801Well yeah, technology can be scary so it's nice to have a familiar piece of tech the audience can relate to.
>>750545801it was a joke in gits and it should be a joke in any other cyberpunk setting
Is there any sci-fi bullshit reason one could brainstorm to make them relevant? Something unique to the way that they load or operate? There must be something.
>>750546024The enemies are too proud of themselves to bother dodging primitive weapons like bullets.
>>750546024They look cool, they work fine. Unless the ammo production is fucked they are more than likely cheap to field compared to GiGaNutTazer4000.
>>750546024depends on your sci fi rules my dudeperfect dark lore said solid ammo destabilized energy shields so the datadyne magnum FUCKED the reptilians and so did the guns that fired mineral bullets.
>>750546024you can load specialized scifi rounds on the fly easily
>>750545801>revolver can hold up to 9 rounds>can be upgraded with a laser sight>is very easy to handle and reload>can be upgraded to become a grenade launcher
>>750546024A revolver will pretty much always be able to chamber and fire longer and more powerful cartridges than semi-autos without compromising handling, balance, and concealability. There are several revolvers today that fire rifle cartridges that would otherwise need something like an AR pistol or Draco that's much larger and more cumbersomeThe Desert Eagle is a semi-auto that manages to cram some magnum calibers into a pistol grip, but it's like holding a 2x4 while a revolver in the same caliber can have a grip of pretty much any size.
>>750546024Not sci-fi bullshit, but game bullshit.You get more XP and faction reputation for killing enemies with the revolver due to Style Bonus
>>750546024In DX HR, you get explosive rounds upgrade for that revolver. Meaning you deal shitloads of AoE damage and have a nifty grenade launcher.
>>750545801>It reloads by replacing the whole cylinder.
>>750546524*clip
>>750545801In neuromancer they still used Walther PPKs but with explosive ammunition
>>750546024A revolver can use stronger cartridges than a semiautomatic simply because you don't need to rely on the gun needing to do all the internal shit to "revolve" compared to your normal 1911-style tilting barrel or alternatives like the Beretta 92. Just solid slabs of steel with a straightforward mechanism. It's basically the limits of mechanical engineering before you have to start relying on novelties of engineering like the Desert Eagle. And at that point you need that kind of power most police forces would just go with a submachine gun or a carbine rifle.The other half of it is cyberpunk as a genre was built in the 70s/80s and that was when magnum revolvers vs .45 vs 9mm was still a serious debate so it wasn't that odd to still see police using Colt Pythons and the like before it all just became Beretta 92s and Glocks. Hence revolvers still being consistently present. Just like how William Gibson hanging out with stoners in Canada gave the genre a very distinct kind of slang.
>>750545801Revolvers look cool. That's all the explanation you need for why they exist in the future.
>>750545801>>game is set in a near future or scifi setting>>sidearm is a big bulky revolverAnd that's a good thing.
>>750545801Modern revolvers are sturdier than most magazine fed handguns with way more tolerance for grain imbalance, cheap as shit and easy maintenance and part replacement since there's no full on mechanism retardation like with magazine fed and fired, no worries about bullets jamming or the format pulling a P320 into your balls, and easy as shit to build and cheap.They'll be around forever because convenience survives ages.In the same way knifing people didn't go out of style even though a knife is as old as the Upper fucking Paleolithic era.
>>750546024you don't need to. they never jam and punch holes in things from far away. you don't need a scifi bullshit reason to explain them for the same reason you don't need one to explain hitting someone with a brick.
>>750547140>they never jamother than when they jam, like any mechanical device does when overused and undermaintained. Like when the cylinder fails to turn, or the hammer gets stuck. Things that happen to revolvers.
>>750547256Big tech propaganda
>2026>There's still no polished version of thisWhy? A cylinder is effectively a collection of strong tubes that holds the case and makes sure it doesn't explode. Link tubes like a belt like that stupid dardick machinegun. Kel-Tec, save me!>it's stupidKel-Tec, save me!
>>750546141I think that one of the dream goals of projectile weapons is to get rid of ammo.If we ever have energy weapons, they'll probably have some battery that can fire 50 bajllion shots before the battery needs to be changed.
>>750546024THE explanation is that whatever super effective cartridges that exist in the future, might not function in a semi-automatic firearms.You see, semi autos needs use the propulsion of the projectile from the ignition of gunpowder to send the bolt or slide back to cycle to the next round but what if the future cartridges use some kind of special technology where you don’t get those current day gunpowder physics?
>>750547353Revolvers are more complex than simple blowback guns.
>>750546024dude we still use them now after like 200 years, I don't know why people pretend fancy laser guns would negate normal guns when we still use them. the colt 1911 is named that because its over a hundred years old yet the same design is still a standard sidearm
>>750546958No one in first world countries uses knives except larpers .
>>750547627>but what if the future cartridges use some kind of special technology where you don’t get those current day gunpowder physicsGauss tech?
>>750546598Those engravings offer no tactical advantage
>>750547707I always assumed people would mix and match because you have diffrent armor for diffeent weapons. Big mirrors for lasers, metal for bullets etc. Bullet breaks mirror, laser melts metal. Idk, it always seemed weird they never had guns in the star wars universe. I bet a solid projectile would ass rape a jedi trying to deflect it with his laser sword.
>>750547794No one uses them, except for those who do and manage to dish out higher death rates than firearms deaths.
If you don't like revolvers you simply aren't male.

>>750545801blade runner is goated
>>750545801>game is set in a near future or scifi setting>guns are illegal
▲▲▲
>>750548030And most of those are kitchen knives, not exactly the prime choice of weapon. Just the most readily available.
>>750548157I could buy a gun and ammoor I could buy a bunch of random shells and ammo of similar caliber, random bits of pipe and nail to slam fire them out of, and pay rentcan't have it all
>>750546024Demand. There's always going to be some dude, even in the distant future, who wants to be like John Wayne so even in a sci-fi setting it makes sense for at least a few gun manufacturers to make revolvers.
>>750548295Sucks to be broke
>>750547482The only way I can see it working is if the cylinder itself doesn't move, but rather a belt of bullets rotates around the center like a pulley, with the "motor" being the external cylinder that moves the whole beltunless there's an internal unpowered "open" cylinder with walls to separate the bullets (and good luck feeding your revolver-belt into each space like a bicycle chain), they'd be going off right next to each other and could theoretically cook each other off and chainfire, and then you'd have 15 or so small explosions going off right in your hand, and no one likes that
>>750548132It's not lol ok, it's a fucking nightmare, and I can give you a hand-on experience with it by sticking it into your back when you ain't looking, ain't expecting it, are distracted or focused on something else, and the only noise that will be heard will be from your mouth if you manage to even do that; and there will be no signaling to give you a chance to react unlike dumbshit media and fiction books. It's vile, silent, and extremely effective.
>>750548392lol you're far too much of a pussy to do that
>>750548442That's what every fag in Western and Northern Europe says before a brownoid or blackie knifes them.
>>750547878Given that the gun in the pic is a trophy from a corporate owned sellout rockstar, and a faggot on top of that, superficial bullshit is the reason he even owned it.Probably gives it to you because he can't shoot it anyway.
>>750546024the advanced alien factions spent so long fighting other advanced alien factions that they only ever had to deal with energy weaponsthen their capital ship gets struck by 90mm of tungsten traveling thirty kilometers per second
>>750547482Horrifically balanced, terrible to shoot.
>>750548392My friend got stabbed in the face by some crazy crackhead and he went berserk and cracked his head open on the cement. He was just walking down the sidewalk and the guy ran out and started stabbing his face. Good thing he didnt lose an eye and doesn't look too fucked up now. I know a guy who was stabbed in the back with a sharpened screwdriver too but he just ran away instead of murdering the stabber
>>750547542Mass Effect did a cool thing where most guns do still use solid ammo, but instead of bullets they shave off a tiny sliver of a big chunk of tungsten and accelerate it using a miniature version of the same tech they use for FTL travel. It's not literally infinite ammo, but it's functionally limitless.
>>750548632That sounds retarded
>>750548712no u
>>750547256yes, a revolver can jam if it's fucking broken or caked in mud. an automatic is expected to jam sometimes even if well-maintained.
>>750546024My style would be just that the exterior looks like a revolver but the internals are all advanced sci-fi bs. Kind of like making a car look like Camaro or Skyline, but it's all just electrical motors n shit on the inside.
>>750546024Durable, robust frame; no propellant gas needed to cycle; can handle devastatingly powerful calibres. Maybe do some surface-level research instead of asking to be spoon-fed
>>750548593machines with (effectively) side mounted magazines are coolas long as it wasn't made by either Japan or Italy
>>750547794I watch dudes at work knife each other almost every day
>>750548712Why?
>>750548392The noble art of knife fighting is no more vile than shooting at someone in the back from a distance.
>>750546882You gain Brouzouf
>>750547678not really, no. more to the point, they don't rely on ejecting a casing through a port that will get stuck if the casing flies in a weird way, which can will happen even if the gun is well-maintained, resulting in a jam. if a revolver jams, it's because the revolver is literally broken and unusable or because it has some thing physically stuck in it, neither of which happen in the course of normal operation. because they rely purely on the force of the trigger being pulled to operate and not on a combination of gas to move the slide and eject a casing and a spring/gravity to feed more ammunition into the chamber, a revolver that isn't broken or dirty will not jam.
>>750546024Not really. Revolvers can run bullet types that semi-autos generally can't. Revolvers can cycle piss weak cartridges and pissin' hot cartridges but we're already at the point where semi-autos outpace them in practically every way if you're not poor and you know what you're doing with your ammo selection. I grew up with revolvers so my carry gun is an SP101 loaded with .38 wadcutters but I have a GLOCK on standby in case shit gets real.
>>750546024Not vidya, but in the anime Psycho Pass government firearms are granted different levels of force or lethality depending on the targets mental score, determinated by an "AI." One agent uses a revolver to bypass this regulation for unique targets, becoming his own judge and executioner. But it's been like a decade since I saw the anime so the details are fuzzy.
>>750546024>>750549390I just realized that's not really specific to the revolver though. You could use any fire arm for that scenario...
>>750546024similar ideas to pump action shotguns or revolving grenade launchers where you can load them with specialized roundsthere have already been some games experimenting with this idea
>>750545801Anon, a hundred years from now there will still be AK47s and G17s in use.
>>750546024.460 S&W mag revolvers poop all over your chassis and are small enough to carry semi conveniently.
>>750545801You gotta read up the NETRICSA entries on why that is, anon
>>750545801How else can I roleplay as a private investigator without my futuristic snub nose revolver?
>>750548712it wasn'twhat was retarded was that in the second game they decided that guns should need ammo again so they made it so that every gun now needed to change a "heatsink" every few shots, couldn't fire without one, and the heatsinks never cooled down and were therefore not reusable. and literally every gun in the galaxy changed to this new system in like 2 years.
>>750547482How does it reload? WHAT DO THEY EAT?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl4IBsqS2gYHL: Alyx did it with sci-fi magic, but how are you supposed to get this fully loaded?
>>750548093Mp5 chambered in 10mm by beloved.
>>750545961Fuck you, Togusa's mateba autorevolver is still cool as shit.
>>750549848That arms manufacturer must have been paying some heavy bribes to get the entire galaxy to downgrade
>>750549598If energy weapons ever become feasible enough for mass deployment, physical projectile weapons will definitely turn into novelty items like swords and bows and arrows within a century. Buying a battery once every 5-10 years would be cheaper than continuously buying ammo.
>>750547878They dont offer any real disadvantages either retard snake.Might as well make fun of nose art on WWII planes.
>>750547542>If we ever have energy weapons, they'll probably have some battery that can fire 50 bajllion shots before the battery needs to be changed.That would be the ideal, but realistically batteries aren't magic. A laser with the destructive power on par with a bullet requires a fucking LOT of power. The battery that can produce that kind of power output doesn't even exist in handheld form right now. Even when the tech gets better you're probably looking at batteries with ammo capacity on par with conventional firearms at best.
>>750545873But in the science fiction future they DO work!
>>750545801well i like big ass revolvers fuck you
>Game is set in a near future or sci-fi setting
>>750549927>How does it reload?It's reloaded by replacing the entire drum-cylinder in the game, like some black powder revolvers
>>750546024At this point it's actually easier to construct an automatic, not to mention ammo being more plentiful that whatever caliber your revolver uses. Revolvers can also technically handle bigger calibers, there are "bear guns" that are basically all revolvers. But then again, that's extremely rare ammo and any rifle basically mogs it to death.So not really. Perhaps if you make it a miniature grenade launcher or make some kind of super special ammo for it like smart rounds or something.But I personally think that not every gun is equal, and not all of them should be balanced just because. It's fine to have a few guns that are straight up worse in almost every way. You could also limit yourself to only using revolvers as a challenge, for example. Have an NPC or two acknowledge that you must be pretty good if you're using a more expensive gun with rare ammo and low RoF and long reload time and your average gamer should get the hint.
>Game is set in the future>there are gay people
>>750546024simple - normal bullets fly fast and hit the targetlaser bullets would be affected by wind
>>750546024Revolvers can handle larger, more powerful rounds than handguns without compromising ergonomics. In a sci-fi setting that has exoskeletons or cybernetic technology, it would make a lot of sense to have stuff like 12 gauge revolvers, too - consider that one of the key selling points of real-life pump-action shotguns is the ability to load all sots of specialized shells (breaching shells, buckshot, slugs, birdshot for use against drones) on the fly.>>750548392You'll want to go for the kidney, not the back if you want to have a shot at a silent takedown.
>>750551813>game is set in the future>straight people still exist
>>750545801Revolvers are 100% pure kino, they should be included in everything, regardless of how impractical they are.
>>750546024I figure its analogous to modern times wherein big bulky revolvers can handle slightly more powerful loads than a similarly priced semi-automatic and in a world of advanced sci-fi armor that's very important (and you need a slim profile instead of just walking around with a shotgun in your hands for some reason)or just larp I mean people larp now
>>750546448>has no difference in recoil compared to rifles that fire the same caliber, just faster ADS>has extended mag option>revolver is conveniently held out of view when reloading
for me its the 444 bear killer
>>750545801It's a mechanical device. It needs to fit in your hand, and fit well. It needs to handle the forces of the round blowing out of the barrel while it's in your hand. If it's a beeg boolet your choices are revolver or deagle take your pick.
>>750549598Fuck, at this rate, some of the World War I and II surplus will still be in circulation for rear-echelon units, if Ukraine is any indication. >>750549978Except for the fact that there will still be millions of AKMs, AK-74s, and ARs, and probably billions of rounds of ammo lying in storage depots. Lots of POGs and conscripts are going to get those and keep them around.
>>750550284>reality>France replaces the FAMAS with an HK416Say what you will about BO7 at least it understood we'd still just be using ARs.
>>750553696The 416 only looks like an AR, though; internally, it uses different systems and isn't completely compatible with the platform.
>>750547482...but the dardick wasnt a machinegun, nor did it have tubes
>>750548023>it always seemed weird they never had guns in the star wars universe.They do have guns but they are called slugthrowers instead.>I bet a solid projectile would ass rape a jedi trying to deflect it with his laser sword.A bullet can fuck up a jedi if he tries to deflect it since the bullet turns into molten metal once it touches the lightsaber but you gotta remember that you are fighting space mages with super reflexes, they aren't completely helpless against them.
>>750547878Those nipples offer no reproductive advantage
>>750546024powerful guns that never jam.
>>750552619 I'd argue revolvers aren't bad for concealed carry since you're only going to get a few rounds off anyway, and something in .32 is small enough and has minimal recoil for rapid follow-up shots, which is far more important in the few seconds you have.
>>750546024Though hated, Outer Worlds 2
>>750554797>never jamYour cylinder just locked up. Walk me through clearing your firearm and getting it in working order. If you have to use Google or AI then you lose.
>>750546024Here's a simple one. Revolvers are more powerful and in a sci-fi world people have better armor. 9mm doesn't cut it anymore. You have to go big or go home.
>>750555360Step 1: go to storeStep 2: buy new gunStep 3: shoot old gun with new gun

>>750555615>Revolvers are more powerfulNot really
>Cylinder is located in an near ideal location for weight distribution just above and forward of the grip>Caliber can be higher without affecting grip geometry since you don't have to fit the magazine through the grip like a standard semi-automatic>Overall profile is still relatively sleek, allowing you to draw and holster reliably since there's no external magazine to get catch on clothing>Cowboy>Fewer possible malfunctions would actually lead to a situation where a jam would have to be cleared rather than just skipping to the next cylinderCompare to Johnny's gun. Magazine is lower and forward, giving it really awkward weight distribution. Very small magazine capacity because huge bullets need big springs to feed reliably. The protrusion of the magazine means a holster is going to be really fucking weird looking and probably be really weird to use if you had an extended magazine or no magazine inserted. The travel length of the slide means trying to use it in a confined space is going to be a nightmare.
>>750546024Material and mass constraints maybe for a poorfag spacer. Like you're so broke that fancy spess polymers for magazines are too much so you stick with a weapon that has an internal magazine. Energy weapons with rechargeable battery packs are out of your budget too. Automatics are out of the question since ammo convervation is on par with Papers Please levels of budgeting. Think something like a handloader who casts his own wildcat rounds from whatever shit he can scrap together. Some massive piece of shit that predates the jump to space but still manages to blow holes through cunts with the right amount of powder charge.

>>750546882The issue is, these retro futuristic designs for the revolvers suck. I’d much prefer your classic smith and Wesson model 29 or some shit even if it’s ill fitting for the setting.
>>750557946>>low/zero atmosphere can't guarantee your semiauto guns will cycle properlynot a thing, tests have been done and only minor modifications are needed to make a gun reliable both in and out of atmosphere.

>>750548081this
>>750559726>The bigger issue is random components deciding to cold weld together in the extremely low temperature of space which would also affect a revolver.Isn't heat still a major issue? Guns can already melt barrels in planetary conditions so using something like an MG42 in spess would be downright dangerous in zerograv boarding operations.

>>750546513Having bosses die in 5 seconds flat is very lame.
>>750560656It is a larger issue than on the ground but self-loading guns already have a quite efficient heat rejection mechanism, the brass case itself. Anyone who has had one drop down their shirt can tell you those fuckers get real hot, and every joule of heat energy ejected with the case is one not saturating the gun mechanism. Also in the absence of an atmosphere, heat transfer between gun parts would be partially curtailed. So the barrel would be very hot but your fire control group would still be ice cold.

Rule of cool you faggot. Revolvers are extremely cool and reliable
>>750546141revolvers are actually more expensive to produce than semi-auto handguns for various reasons, mostly down to material cost being lower for the latter.>>750547140The revolvers never jam thing is total fudd shit and when revolvers do break they fucking BREAK and are infinitely harder to fix than semi-auto handguns, when a revolver breaks you will pretty much always need a gunsmith to fix it.>>750546598This is the only legitimate argument for revolvers vs semi-auto handguns that holds any water, something like 460 S&W simply cannot be chambered in a non-revolving repeating firearm in that kind of form factor, in the real world cartridges like this are mostly meme shit more for having fun at the range but they are real and do exist.>>7505592239mm will kill any unarmored target easily, and if you are shooting armored targets 10mm wont change anything.people do often use 10mm for personal defense against big animals because its an application where the extra kinetic energy stopping power makes sense, its completely overkill for stopping an unarmored human and the shots you miss don't do you any good.

>>750562216Always thought the ability for a 357. being able to also use 38, was the coolest shit in a vidya. Especially ones that focus on resource scarcity. Giving you two chances to source ammo for it through the loot tables. FNV capitalizing on this further with mods that let you make different permutations on the same caliber just adds more value to the idea. Not saying that semiautos can't do similar things but you don't see it that much in vidya. You can have generic ammo types or special snowflake calibers that only match up with specific designs. Some games do it with 223/5.56mm but it isn't as widespread from what little I've seen.
>>750545801You can kill anything that has a physical form by hitting it with something going really fast. No matter the technology advancements and the futuristic setting the UNGA GRUG THROW FAST ROCK method is the most reliable to kill.
>>750546024the IRL reason is good enough, its the best compact package for high power cartridges, there's no way you can make a pistol firing 40-70 gov without putting the rounds in front of the grip, and still have some barrel length to make use of the big round without going the extra mile of puting a stock on it and turn it into a carbine

>>750564683Now that you mention it, the Human Revoltion revolver was really cool. I really love the removable cylinder magazine, it reminds me a lot of wild west revolvers and I wish real revolvers did something similar. The gold version Burke used was especially based and I wish it showed up earlier in the game.

>>750546024Lasers operate on light so therefore if it's sunny you can't use a laser gun effectively. Would bring an interesting dichotomy of daylight enforcers using old timey equipment while night enforcers use skin melting laser rifles and bulky heat proof shields.
>>750557946>>fully analog mechanics let them be serviced by grey market sellers and not get hacked to shit by cybercriminalsThis is the one I always think of. Revolvers are simple guns mechanically, getting parts wouldn't require some monitored factory supply chain.
>>750557946>>fully analog mechanics let them be serviced by grey market sellers and not get hacked to shit by cybercriminalsas opposed to regular pistols of today? nothing stops you from removing the useless hackable bits on your gun, especially if you're going down the path that black markets tinker with weapons
>>750546024Beam weapons being the standart and shields not being designed to stop projectiles.
revolvers are already obsolete yet people buy them. why would people in the future be any different?
>>750545801People do not realize just how efficient the whole cartridge+cordite+heavy mass payload is, just compare it, energy expenditure wise, to say a laser.
>>750548712Nah. it's the pinnacle of ballistic weaponry tiny rock goes super fast and kill you with enough energy to vaporize someone

>>750545801>game is set in space>conventional firearmsthe fuck
>>750566557yeah but you need cellulose and ammonia and sulfur and bunch of other base materials plus you need to set up machines to do the production etc etcwith a laser you just need to wait for the sun/reactor to replenish your ammo

>>750545801Revolvers are just cool. You wouldn't get it. It's a white man thing.
>>750546024Futuristic guns can be turned off in some way, maybe through emp or they work only if you have a license.
