Talk:.357 Magnum revolver/Archive 1

Source?
What's the source on this? No new news... 216.56.36.82 18:20, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was in one of the recent previews. Ausir(talk) 18:35, May 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sawyer talked about the .357 revolver in the Joystiq interview. --Mr.Lexx(talk) 18:39, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Is this the same revolver that A7 uses?

no, A7 has a colt S.A.A. and if the developers manage to confuse the two, despite obvious differences, I will cry. p.s, what happened to the desert revolver page?98.18.39.67 13:47, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I fail to see the problem here. The SAA is chambered for .357. And the gun does look like an SAA. --Twentyfists 19:23, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Just so people here know what this gun is based on. - Texas Ranger 13:10, August 14, 2010 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMQPWDqGlY0&feature=channel at 0:02 it says .357 magnum revolver, not .357 revolver. Change title? 90.224.93.138 23:48, September 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * That's not a valid reference. It never shows the .357 pistol at all. It may be there, in the inventory, but the top of the list is the 9mm pistol. -- 01:30, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 0.02, kid aims in vats, aims at the goodspring settlers weapon, VATS says he's aiming at a .357 "mangum" revolver. 90.224.93.138 11:26, September 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep. There it is. Good enough for me. -- 11:53, September 4, 2010 (UTC)

Better source
Now that we have a better source, we can see the strength requirement of 3. How do we integrate this info into the page? -- 21:15, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd assume we have one of the admins edit the infobox to include a STR Requirement tab. I attempted to create one myself just a second ago (and previewed it, never officially making an edit), but the tab did not generate. --Volundarkvioa 21:43, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd make the change myself if I knew what I was doing, but I don't want to mess up the infobox template. -- 21:47, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not just any admin, it really needs to be Porter. Nobody else should touch the templates, 'cause then he won't really know what you've done. :/ Nitty Tok. 21:50, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * And with Porter being away from the wiki (mostly) for a while, it's unlikely he'll be able to get around to it anytime soon. How about a mention in the Characteristics section? -- 21:53, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'd do that. Nitty Tok. 21:56, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

he is holding a hunting revolver. Sorry but he's holding a .357 Revolver with a Long Barrel attachment.

Based on the Ruger Vaquero
This revolver is most likely based on the Ruger Vaquero which: 1) looks exactly the same as the one featured in the game 2) has Single Action trigger - one can actually see the thumb cocking the hammer during shooting animation 3) the cylinder is fixed and the gun needs to be reloaded trough a loading gate at the back, one round at a time - this can also be seen in the reload sequence 4) .357 Magnum is the most popular cambering for this gun 5) it's available on special order with "ivory" grip and engraved frame - this can be seen on Lucky http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47vZKwbTGh4

I'm not denying your points, but I saw on TV once a Colt 45 "Peacemaker" that looked just like the magnum in game. Here's a link for a picture: --Blahmarrow 21:27, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Sigh its a Colt SAA (also known as the Peacemaker which is incorrect no offense), not a Ruger Vaquero. first off a ruger does not have a 3 screw action such as the model in new vegas. Secondly a Vaquero is based OFF the Colt SAA just with a few modifications made to allow a user to safely carry 6 rounds in the cylinder. Grips or Stocks are hardly a means of identification on any firearm. I can give you links to HUNDREDS of aftermarket styles and types which can fit any SAA, copy or clone. That said it would likely be a colt SAA, Uberti Cattleman, USFA Rodeo, if you were looking for exact SAA clones. --Furious Oyster--

So we are both wrong?--Blahmarrow 00:36, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

ha no you were on the right track. the "Peacemaker" was thought up by someone else for marketing purposes. Its correct original name is the Colt Single Action Army. I just mentioned it to clarify its name, some my think there is a difference between the two. Just trying to be helpful. I notice alot of craziness flying about on the wiki from 'gun experts' =D I wouldn't be so bold to claim that title myself, perhaps enthusiast? --Furious Oyster--

You are one hell of a smart dude. You saved me from a lot of pain from my friends. Thanks!--Blahmarrow 23:34, February 23, 2011 (UTC)

Jam
I couldn't get my .357 to jam once in firing it from 100% to broken. Anybody gotten it to jam? Nitty Tok. 18:31, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

Its Awesome cos it never jams :)
