CSGO : Revolver

Almost everyone loves the desert eagle, high powered and it looks Amazing !
but many people have trouble contolling this beast of a weapon, and that is why i thought of
Valve adding a revolver to CSGO.
This may be any revolver but i don't care, as long as these new guys on counter strike can have an overpowered weapon (pistol/revolver) that can be quicker to get used to than the deagle. im not saying im against the deagle but i think we could use another something with low ammunition, with fantastic fire power.

STATS:

Damage : I personally think that this revolver should have a little less or about the same damage as the desert eagle

ammunition : Alot revolvers have about six bullets so im gonna say about that 0___0

range / accuracy : I would say better than the deagle's due to how i want these people to control this weapon.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APPEARANCE :

Model : I wish that this revolver would have a long barrel for maximum increase on customization and a nice wooden/leather bit for where you hold it.(like the usp )

CUSTOMIZATION : this part is up to you :D or ... valve

thanks for reading !

[Leelie]

+1.. deagle is difficult to controled
The revolver is a good idea ^^
I'm with it :D

[Lights]

I'm extremely against addition or removal of any weapons

[WannaBe Swedish BERG]

Deagle's buffed and is perfect now from the last update, so the revolver idea is defunct in my opinion.

There is no need to add any more weapons to this game, we have a perfect spread over all the classes. The only changes needed are a few more areas of fine tuning on the current weapons

[Sfenneke]

i could be swapable with deagle, like p250/CZ-75

[WannaBe Swedish BERG]

There is no need though. I don't get why you would want a weapon that is the exact same as a deagle to replace the deagle, where is the point in this?

The CZ / P250 is a different pair of weapons. They both control different situations. The DE / REV are the same

[HOELS]

i agree that the weapons are great because they are fixed in the few updates . but what about bringing the old times back like the mp5 ?

[WannaBe Swedish BERG]

Yes hoels, that is the only gun i would like to see added. The MP7 is supposedly the modern MP5 but imo it's just not the same....

[HOELS]

yeah i agree completely

[HOELS]

what about a knife? what do you think ?

[Master Bates]

Well never heard of counter-terrorist with revolvers but smith & wesson did make the TRR8 which is a revolver for teams like swat. Dunno how theyll balance though, plus this gun holds 8 rounds.

[Littlefoot]

I'm not really sure if revolvers fit the style of Counter-Strike.

And people who say the Deagle sucks are most likely spamming it and missing their shots.

[僕の名前 (仮)]

To be honest, I don't see why would CS need a revolver. Besides "coolness factor".

For people who don't know, Desert Eagle was added as a coolness factor. Lot of early 2000's games were influenced by Matrix film, CS included)

Desert Eagle is already a good and accurate gun, and magazine of 7 is already feels too low. Why do you need to make a worse gun with 6 bullets and longer reload? Deagle is balanced around fast reload.

[HoneyDrake]

well, i understood and upvoted a similiar thread, which was a lot more focused on a NEW secondary weapon, which is a little bit different from the DE, but not gamechanging at all, some great ideas, etc.
BUT what you did was just giving the DE a new texture, nothing else, no gameplay change, like the other one did

[IceTom]

there is a huge thread about a revolver, use it
