Talk:Revolver

Redefining dart blaster revolvers
I feel like we should clean up proper definition as to what makes a revolver-style blaster a revolver. As is the case right now, lots of people want to define a revolver-style blaster as one with a rotating cylinder/barrel that advances as you fire or prime it. My problem is that this is too vague of a definition. While I think some blasters such as the AlphaHawk and (maybe) the Doominator do count as revolvers, I don't think that, say, the Guardian Crossbow, the Outbreaker Bow, the Vagabond or the Lawbringer count. Do they have revolving barrels/chambers? Yes, but the style of the blaster is far more of that of, well, crossbows and rifles.

Generally, when I think of "revolver", I think small, personal firearms that can be fan-fired and dual-wielded with ease. So I'm very confused why the larger stuff gets lumped if, if not just for confusing terminology. Jet [ Talk • Contributions ] 22:18, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

In my opinion, revolvers with a revolving cylinder on the front that is not in something should be called a turret revolver, like a Judge. Revolvers with the cylinder in the middle like the Maverick should just be called a revolver.

 * "Turret revolver" isn't really... an actual term though. I'm not trying to make a new term here, I think we should just lessen on our list of revolvers and reconsider it. Jet  [ Talk • Contributions ] 22:37, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Well what else could we refer them as then?

 * We don't need to give a term for every blaster ever made. Half the blasters on our wikispace don't have a proper definition for the kind of blaster they are. The whole "defining a blaster type" is really only leftover from the whole N-Strike number code thing. Most don't do that anymore, so trying to file each down into a category results in blasters that don't really fit the bill. Jet  [ Talk • Contributions ] 22:41, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

So.. We should just call them blasters?

 * I mean, they're all blasters, revolver or not... Jet  [ Talk • Contributions ] 22:53, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
