Cataclysm-dda: .600 Nitro Express revolver request

[Mister-Cultist]

When it comes to late game, hand guns become less and less viable againt the kevlar hulks roaming the land, as a solution I propose we introduce the "Pfeifer Zeliska .600 Nitro Express revolver". The ultimate in over compensation. A pistol being able to fire Nitro express rounds would be a perfect holdout weapon for the late game, that and it would be somthing to look foreward to finding. If it was implemented you'd probably want to give it so much recoil to almost be unusable unless you were incredibly strong and skilled. Honestly just a fun idea all in all.

Why don't you just add it? It's a simple JSON addition.

[Bulletfang]

Absolutely yes, please. Make it damage your wrist if your strength is below a certain threshold too, just for the hell of it.

yeah I probably should try, I'm just utterly garbage when it comes to sorting through the game's code.

[anothersimulacrum]

JSON isn't code, it's basically text. That guide should cover it pretty well, but there are also some things that are covered in the files in doc/.

Do be aware that we try to respect real life rarity of items, so there
should probably not be more than one or two of these within range of the
PC, and you could go 100 games without seeing one.

With that in mind, it should also be noted that it won't really solve the kevlar hulk problem. Which is fine because those were meant to be hard mod monsters that average gun would not deal with too easily. In a way it's a non-issue.
