Volcanic Pistol

About the Volcanic Repeating Pistol

The Volcanic was not the first repeating pistol, but it was an early one of the first in a line of firearms that would develop into the iconic lever action rifles of the American West. Patented in 1854, the Volcanic used a toggle-action lock operated by a finger lever – simply a smaller version of the hand lever used in the later rifles. The Volcanic had a tube magazine beneath its barrel to hold 9 rounds, and fired a conical bullet in which the powder and primer were both contained within the hollow base of the bullet. However the limited powder capacity of the design meant that the cartridge was fairly weak.

In Fistful of Frags

The Volcanic Pistol is one of the fastest firing weapons in the game, and when duel-wielded with itself, it becomes the closest thing to an SMG in the game. Whereas the Volcanic has decent accuracy (87% left hand) and a remarkably quick rate of fire, it is the weakest gun in the game. Close range - It's a three shot kill with >30 per shot, however you will find that the average damage you will inflict with this is in the 20's to 30's range. The Volcanic is a handheld, small version of the Henry Rifle, and similarly can hold nine rounds in its tube magazine. So you don't have to worry to much about reloading as often, But when it comes to reloading, you will have to wait a full nine seconds for all nine bullets to be reloaded individually. You can only get the Volcanic from spawn and it will net you a nice +10 Notoriety per kill. For more stats see:
