About

The "Bulldog" Heavy Revolver is the Gunner's default sidearm. It is a revolver handgun with a huge foregrip that never gets used. Its 22mm bullets are so huge that only four can be held in the chamber at once, though the Gunner does have the good sense to use a speedloader to instantly refill an empty chamber.

The Revolver deals some of the highest single-shot damage in the game, rivalling weapons like the M1000 Classic in sheer power. Aiming for weak spots with this gun is guaranteed to kill most enemies in one shot, and anything that somehow survives is likely to be stunned with the weapon's high stun chance. The weapon is laser-accurate when standing still and has considerable range for a sidearm pistol.

For newer players, the Bulldog rarely sees use outside of emergencies when the Powered Minigun has overheated, though its use extends far beyond a mere sidearm. It's excellent for damaging distant stationary enemies such as Spawners, Spitballers and Leeches who are helpless against its high damage and accuracy. It can also be used to get the drop on any patrolling Glyphids or Mactera who may not be aware of the Dwarves' position by dropping a couple of them before the whole group notices.

The Revolver's most obvious flaw is its small chamber size, carrying only four shots to get the job done - and while the standing accuracy is good, the weapon's spread growth is highly pronounced, requiring almost a full second of waiting before it returns to standard accuracy. Because of these traits the Bulldog demands accuracy of its wielder, though those with a steady hand will be able to reap its rewards.
