A Cathcart North "Detective" .38 revolver is a small firearm, capable of holding six revolver rounds inside its cylinder. It appears similar to the Smith & Wesson Model 10 and Model 15. It can be easily slipped into a backpack when not in use. It is lightweight and of compact shape and lacks the stopping power of the bigger guns, but proven to be an effective civilian firearm.
Like all firearms, the revolver is a rare weapon to scavenge. But sometimes, human enemies such as bandits and raiders may be seen walking around with one.
It can be loaded with .38 revolver ammunition of two types, either FMJ or JHP. Total damage potential is roughly equal for both types of ammo, but FMJ ammo causes severe bleeding wounds and minor bruising, while JHP damage is more balanced between the two.
When used as a melee weapon the revolver causes moderate bruising and occasionally bleeding wounds. As with all melee weapons, this attack is much deadlier in the hands of a combatant who is Strong and/or skilled with melee weapons
