Russian Revolver

It's a Russian Roulette gun that has a 1/5 chance of killing the user, it can be used with real bullets too.

Ivan grab the vodka it's time for RNG trauma.

Today we answer the age old question, is it the gun that kills or the bullet?

This mod should overwrite the vanilla revolver and its ammo. But it doesn't modify the vanilla gun/ammo except let you interchange ammo between russian blanks and 38 cal, you can put blanks inside the real revolver too.

Blank bullets are crafted by one steel bar and one ethanol.
The Russian Revolver is made with two steel bars and one ethanol.
They all deconstruct back into their contents, but obviously bullets are used when fired.

It functions like a vanilla revolver, nothing different except name description and the gun when held is black instead of blue. You can even load vanilla 38 cal in, but... are the new russian boolets really blanks??!

Concept stolen from SS13.

How it works:
There's no RNG afaik from XML so I used the skill requirement check on the gun user to increase the chance of yielding a failure rate. Everyone that fires this gun, gets checked at 20 skills for weapon/medical/electrical/mechanical/helm. Some failures are checked at higher competence than others because not everyone will have high helm skill therefore setting helm at like 40 is valid to yield such failures. And when you fail you get shot by self inflicted gunshot wound, bleeding, internal damage, and a slight burn. Smoke is produced by the gun to replicate its quality at being a firearm.

What's intended:
-You will die. Unless your medic is super duper good, the rate of saving someone shot even with a suit on is almost null.
-The ammo doesn't kill the user, so holding even real bullets that fires at someone will still have a chance of killing the gun holder.
-People get confused and grab this gun or this gun's ammo or swap to the real gun's ammo and use blank revolver.
-Clowns honking a lot can be locked in a room and pass time.
-Captain or security may be given such revolvers as a birthday present.
-Big puff of smoke to visually let you know, it's the russian revolver. But those not paying attention will eventually get themselves killed.
-This cursed weapon spawns in most containers that normal weapons spawn in. You need to glance twice.
