Python Revolver

Python Revolver
The Python Revolver is a high-damage early to mid-game firearm in Rust that uses pistol ammunition. Compared to other pistols, it delivers significantly higher damage per shot, making it a strong option for players who can control recoil and land accurate hits.
The weapon is limited by its small magazine size and pronounced recoil. With only a few shots available before reloading, missed shots are heavily punished, especially during fast-paced PvP encounters. As a result, the Python Revolver favors precision over sustained fire.
In combat, the Python performs best at close to short-medium range, where its high per-shot damage can quickly eliminate lightly or moderately armored opponents. However, its recoil makes rapid follow-up shots difficult, requiring deliberate pacing and controlled firing.
While it is outclassed by automatic weapons in prolonged engagements, the Python Revolver remains a powerful choice for players who prefer high-risk, high-reward gunfights and confident aim.
