Which revolver is best for fanning?

[NeuroticSlav]

Aka which one has best accuracy/smallest crosshair?

[GRU-Vy]

Conversion or pax. Nagant has highest fire rate and accuracy in fanning but a terrible pistol overall, so its not worth taking just for fanning.

All other pistols dont bother with especially the uppercut and chain pistol. Their accuracy in fanning is beyond horrible.

I tried fanning with the Pax and for whatever reason, that pistol just hates me. 9 out of times with or without fanning, it won't hit anyone and if I do, I will never again land another shot on an enemy hunter. Meanwhile, I land more accurate shots with the conversion pistol.

When I tried dual-wielding the Pax though, I hit my shots just a little better for some reason which is stupid.

I had the same experience with it

Don't pick chain - it has like 30% wider circle than regular caldwell ...

Caldwell Conversion / LeMat with FMJ on the top, Conversion for lower price, but LeMat for 9 bullets that permit to have possiblity to down 2 ennemies easily in case of rush.
Scottfield Swift, really great to reload in 2 sec 6 bullets, you can kill a guy, reload faster and engage other ennemies quickly.
These 3 pistols are very accurate in fanny mode.

Not a good idea :
Uppercut, after the second bullets, you lost the target, need to fire 2 bullets by 2 to avoid firing at 3 meters to the target... but 2 per 2, it's very impressive.
Chain pistol, if you fire all the bullets, I think only 2 on 15 bullets hit your target... no really don't use this chain pistol. LeMat will be more accurate and have 9 bullets.
Nagant : not enough damage, and when fanny use, you hit legs or arms and do so few damages...

Fanny is very useful if you can kill the ennemy in 2 or 3 bullets, so in one second to avoid that ennemy kills you with a shotgun or anything else by reaction. So if ennemy sees you with a shotgun, fanny or not you die. But in other case you need to kill him quickly. So why LeMat, Scottfield Swift or Caldwell Conversion are very useful for this because accuracy and damage, very quick.

1. LeMat
2. Conversion Pistol
3. Scottfield Swift

Anything else is too inaccurate to consider tbh. I pick the LeMat over the conversion simply because it has more rounds in the barrel, whilst maintaining pretty much as good accuracy as the conversion pistol. The new Scottfield variant is also pretty decent, and reloads way faster than any other sidearms, but just we wary of the ammo you waste if you don't empty the barrel.

I know the chain pistol looks amazing at first sight, but from my experience, it's actually pretty bad due to its terrible accuracy. Great for spamming, but massively reliant on RNG. So many times I've failed to land two shots with fanning on this sidearm, that I gave up on it. I've since had far more success using the sidearms listed above.

This thread is a lot of opinion. But the recurring theme is nagant and conversion pistol. In my experience, those two are probably the most accurate. I do well with the Lemat. The Pax seems decent, but not as accurate as the conversion pistol imo. The chain pistol is trash rng with fanning. Obviously, you can kill with rng with any gun that fans, and that will bias some opinions in to poor advice in this thread.

Wouldn't it be fun to try it yourself???

Nagant is a Laser Beam.

Also the highest fire rate. So much so, that the Netcode laggs behind.
Brilliant Game Design, Crytek, just absolutely brilliant.

Size of scattering G1 smallest:
Rate of fire F1 fastest:
Stability S1 least (not exactly, didn't pay that much attention):

Full Metal Jacket does not affect anything
High velocity affects stability

Officer and New Army cannot be used with Fanning.


G1:
Caldwell Conversion F1 S1
Scottfield + swift F3 S2

G2:
Caldwell Pax F2 S2

G3:
Nagant F1 S1
LeMat MK2 F2 S1

G4:
Nagant silencer F1 S1
Caldwell Chain F2 S2.5 (more to the side but otherwise S2

G5:
Scottfield Spitfire F3 S3



I didn't have an uppercut to test at the moment. (Probably G5/6: and F3/4 and S4).
I have not tested any variants that are not listed above and therefore did not include them in the comparison!

When reloading, most revolvers are basically the same (apart from certain variants)
It can be said that the larger the ammunition, the longer it takes to reload. The Lemat filled was slightly faster than the others.
Don't forget the weapons where the drum can be folded out, throw them all out when the revolver is empty.

Chain is the choice of many

I never take fanning, but if my hunter comes with fanning I'll equip them with Chain, because I literally have no other use for that gun, so might just as well use it for pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew

Kind of depends.

If you want a tight crosshair then the nagant / regular conversion FMJ are good.
If you want to just throw bullets at people (and pray to RNGesus) go with the chain conversion or a schofield swift with a springfield for spare ammo.
LeMat FMJ is somewhat in the middle. Decent accuracy / damage and 9 bullets.

Haven't used the pax in a while, but I remind it being quite good with fanning.

[UnLucky Luke]

it's only my opinon:

conversion chain pistol ist great in close combats when you dont need much accuracy because the big magazine. you can spray for some seconds.

otherwise i think the basic conversion or scottfield swift.

Fanning is peasant. Chads double-up on pistols.

Double the gun, double the fun.
