My NCO was able to single-handedly take out the octahedron obeliskian while wielding a revolver. It helped that the obeliskian was focused on doing Great Bodily Harm to another brave colonist. Anyone have insight into the differing statistics of the firearms available to our stalwart defenders of the Cog?
Yes, you can check code for it... so uh let's see. Is that revolver a Colt Single Action Army? Range is pretty valuable, as a bunch of people with muskets/rifles can kill people with less range by dint of shooting first. Definitely an issue if the enemies snipe your NCO
So no apparent accuracy trait... Interesting... and the sole difference between the pistol and revolver is ammo capacity... Which clearly is a huge advantage in the hands of a trained soldier.
What you'd probably compare is pistol vs musket (uses iron vs plate&pipe) and the upgrade to revolver vs carbine (brass cog vs brasscog+iron+pipe)
Until we are given the ability to trade them, I've figured the best way to deal with the pile of pistols we start the game with is to upgrade them to revolvers, resources permitting.
It might be best to just ignore them and make muskets then carbines. If iron is somehow really rare but the copper and zinc isn't ....
Revolvers have much more DPS (damage per second) No, use my gun protips thread to forbid all the pistols and leave only carbines. https://community.gaslampgames.com/...t-your-soldiers-will-equip-better-guns.16665/ 1. forbid all the currently equiped trash guns on your militia. 2. unassign your NCO from the barracks. 3. assign him to a farm 4. Wait till everyone drops their guns. 5. Unassign them from the farm, and reassign them to a barracks, and have them pick up new guns. 6. If they pick up trash guns, keep repeating the process until they pick up carbines. It is best to make carbines, yes.
I am aware of your technique. I use it to rid my NCO of his pistol. However, I also avoid permanently assigning crew to my military until I am able to better arm them. This avoids the browncoat bug and saves me from having to juggle my soldiers. I am also not a min/max player. Carbines may be better, but I like the idea of having a revolver or two in the mix.
See military crew --???, they can't retrain back to redcoats, and apparently you remove their redcoat bonuses when they take it off, so they're stuck.
