R .357: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 16:21, 14 May 2023

“High-powered handgun with revolving magazine.”

Overview

The R.357 is a double-action revolver using a .357 Magnum cartridge. It is based on the Colt Python, which was introduced in 1955.

The fact that it is double-action means that the user does not need to manually cock the hammer before pulling the trigger, but only needs to pull and release the trigger for the chamber to move to the next bullet.

In the Finals the R.357 is known for its stopping power and impressive range. (During Closed Beta in March, 2023).

First appearance

The Raging Bull was first seen in the full first trailer for THE FINALS, which was released on September 27, 2022.

Strengths and weaknesses

The R.357 is a very powerful revolver that has a highly impressive range and can be used to make fairly long-range kills reliably. The limitation of it's iron sights are the only limiting factor in this case.

-The Raging Bull is a revolver manufactured by the Brazilian Taurus International firearm company.
+The R.357 is a double-action revolver using a .357 Magnum cartridge. It is based on the [[wikipedia:Colt_Python|Colt Python]], which was introduced in 1955.
-In its larger calibers it is marketed as a hunter's sidearm because it is a potent weapon with plenty of stopping power. The .454 Casull cartridge has been used to hunt animals as large as Cape Buffalo.
-The Raging Bull has a ported barrel and a red rubber strip along the back of its grip (in some variants such as the Raging Hornet, this strip is yellow), which cushions the shooter's hand and lowers perceived recoil. Functionally, the Raging Bull has a manually operated front cylinder latch, whose release can be seen on the crane. Front cylinder latches are required for such high-powered double-action revolvers, and are found on the Ruger Super Redhawk and the S&W Model 500 revolver, but they are actuated by the rear cylinder latch. The manually operated latch on the Raging Bull is simpler (and thus less expensive to produce) yet equally strong, but requires two hands to open the cylinder.
+The fact that it is double-action means that the user does not need to manually cock the hammer before pulling the trigger, but only needs to pull and release the trigger for the chamber to move to the next bullet.
