Why is every handgun a revolver?
What happened to the mag, or clip, or heck even a breachloader / frontloader? Only revolvers exist in the future I guess...???? I would like a 15 shot auto pistol with magazine. You have to craft primary ammo plus magazines to use this fire spitter. What are your ideas?
Edit: a "Hand cannon" is not a synonym for revolver. Refer to the semiautomatic desert eagle often referred to as a hand cannon. There are others.... a hand cannon is a large caliber handgun.

The only real Hand Cannon is the one from Resident Evil 4 ;)

7 RepliesI'd like to think of thorn as a modified, Hive crafted, desert eagle. I mean it looks like it. Until you get stability perks it behaves like it too. Then again you could say it behaves like a magnum or any other high caliber revolver too.

1 ReplyI don't fancy tickling Crotas nuts with a 9mm do you haha. Well maybe Snakes tranq gun and then we can just shake the loot of his body.

1 Replythey used a basemodel for all class weapons and then suger coat it heavily with fancy model and lights. this reduces the amount of stress on the system since no new animations have to be loaded. same goes for every fusion rifle, why do they all load from the bottom like a craftsman power drill? why do all hand cannons have the same reload animation/hammer? the strangers rifle is a bullpup design, but when you reload the gun it defaults to the traditional pulse rifle animation instead of using something similar to a scout rifles animation. bungie cannot add anything that uses specific/unique animations and because of this they just keep using the same weapon designs to help reduce the amount of data being tossed back and forth. (mostly for 360 and ps3 users). this game is held back by its weakest console it supports, they intended for all 4 consoles to share the same experience(not including the time restricted exclusive $ony content) otherwise we would have had two drastically different versions much like gta 5 and gta 5 on ps4/xbone

Because the budget for this game goes towered feeding goats in Africa so only having one pistol reload animation is cheaper.

2 RepliesThey should bring in exotic heavy mustang and Sally dual pistols.

7 RepliesI also wonder how a hand cannon has a magazine of ten when you can clearly see only six slots in the round cartridge thingy in the gun. (I don't know guns. I'm Canadian)
-
1 ReplyI've noticed that hand canons take a circular "charge pack." I've been under the assumption that all weapons fire a glimmer like substance rather than today's rounds. How else do you explain how we get ammo from fallen/hive/vex/cabal?

3 RepliesIsn't Hawkmoon Desert Eagle-esque?

Reliability, I guess

1 ReplyAnd they all have the chiappa bottom barrel for stability.
-
2 RepliesActually when you go to see the awoken. The guards gun you take appears to be a semi auto handgun. So why not. Apparently they're out there.
-
Reliable
-
3 RepliesThe desert eagle only holds 7 rounds and jams frequently. 500 s&w is a hand cannon.

There's no answer other than totally lazy

4 RepliesI posted about this a few weeks back. I would love to see a 1911 style or semi auto pistol like a glock or 92fs. Fast fire rate but less impact and low recoil. I think that would be sweet. u could have it as a primary or secondary as far as I'm concerned.

10 RepliesBecause revolvers are sick! Especially using last word I feel like an outlaw gunslinger. I'm a fan of westerns and a fan of revolver ocelot so I guess I'm biased. "Six bullets more than enough to kill anything that moves." -Revolver Ocelot
-
They are all revolvers because bungie was too lazy to make guns different. Just like strikes sorry missions and pretty much everything else...
-
It's called a "hand cannon" for a reason. Some of the strongest guns in the world, IE smith and Weston 500, are revolvers in style. The revolver has a higher caliber round and it makes sense as a primary bc it packs a punch that a handgun cannot. Plus the game is about the frontier of space and revolvers paved the western frontier back in the day, so why not the future.
-
Because they are not handguns, they are handcannons. If they shot faster they would not do as much dmg to balance them, and would no longer be a cannon.
-
What about SMG's? Or melee weapons (other than a knife)? Heck, I'm surprised there isn't some sort of futuristic bow / crossbow category since they seem to be appearing more and more in games now.
-
Balance, mag fed auto loaders would break the recoil, and the slow reload that evens them up with all the other guns. That being said i would love a glock 20 with the mag extension they use on the Chris super v.
-
They need to be revolvers or it's not possible to do a damage type (according to science)
-
Because bow-ties are cool.. I mean revolvers.
