The Revolver is the Spy's default primary weapon in Team Fortress 2. It is the Spy's only ranged weapon as the rest of the items in his inventory is for stealth, disguise and point blank combat. The revolver is a good all-round weapon in the game as even though its ammo capacity is very low, it has the capability to inflict fairly decent damage (even at long range), has great accuracy and retains it even during continuous fire, has a fairly high fire rate which works well during mid-range combat, and has a fast reload time despite being a revolver. It, like the Sniper's SMG and the Scout and Engineer's Pistol, the Revolver can place a single, perfectly accurate shot before "bullet spread" will take effect, which will reduce the weapon's accuracy.

 Revolver Tactics Edit

When using the Revolver, be sure to remember that it has only 6 rounds, meaning that once you run out of ammo, you will most likely die since your Butterfly Knife will not do much damage on a direct hit. Remember that it has a good damage output, fairly high rate of fire, and good accuracy. It is very deadly when you score a critical hit with it as a full crit will do double of the maximum point blank damage the Revolver does (120 points of damage), which will allow you to kill most wounded classes with ease. Also, the Spy's ability to see a player's current health will come in handy as well, since knowing the Revolver's damage output at different ranges in comparison to the target's current health will make picking them off with ease.
