Description: The Iridonian Revolver is the first weapon created by the Iridonian Weaponry Company. True to the core of the Iridonian warrior cast, the pistol is all about high damage and a lot of bloodshed. Sacrificing range for pure power, the pistols were made for close range combat. At a close range, they can blow off the arm of an unarmored adult, or blow an armored adult onto their rump. Farther away, the gun becomes unreliable and the shooter is looking at his shots possibly missing their shot entirely.
On top of this, the weapons are made in such a way that pistol whipping someone close enough won't damage the frame. Of course, whacking it against metal will indeed compromise it's structure. All and all, it's a simple slug throwing revolver made for high damage, not range. And with the high damage, comes high recoil. Those untrained in wielding the weapon will loose control of the gun on the first shot, possibly injuring themselves in the process.
