m (Undo edit by Ashe (Talk) (2949411) yes, exactly. that's why it's interesting; Festivized weapons usually look identical to any Festive counterparts, but in this case the Festive weapon differs from stock.)

This article is about the Spy's stock secondary weapon. For other revolvers, see Revolver (disambiguation).

The Revolver is the default secondary weapon for the Spy. It is a double-action, six-shot revolver with ivory grips and a swing-out cylinder.

The Spy's only ranged weapon, the Revolver serves as a reliable way to fend off enemies from a distance, and also often serves as an excellent backup plan for failed backstab attempts or as a means to finish off low-health enemies.

Like the Pistol and the SMG, the Revolver fires a single, perfectly accurate shot before "bullet spread" takes effect. Waiting 1.25 seconds will reset the accuracy and provide another accurate shot.

Trivia

  • The Revolver bears a striking resemblance to the real-world Colt Diamondback and Colt Python.
  • The Spy reloads this weapon by using a device called a speedloader. As the name suggests, this allows for all six chambers in the cylinder to be quickly reloaded all at once, as opposed to having to insert each cartridge individually.
  • A popular custom modification to various Revolver models made in the late 1960s (when Team Fortress 2 takes place) was to remove the original barrel from the frame, and replace it with the barrel from another Revolver, typically a Colt Python. These weapons were considered to be much more accurate than their non-modified counterparts, and it is feasible that the Spy's Revolver is modeled after one such custom weapon.
  • The Festive Variant of the Revolver seems to re-use the original design, shown in Illustrative Rendering in Team Fortress 2.
    • Notably, this does not apply to the Festivized variant.
