Overview[]
- This section is a stub. You can help Armed Assault Wiki by expanding it.
The .38 Revolver is a double-action revolver.
It loads solely from a 6-round cylinder, and can attain a fire rate of up to 600 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 300 m/s.
The .38 Revolver is unable to mount optics or be fitted with muzzle attachments. It does not use a speed loader for reloading and requires cartridges to be fed individually into the cylinder.
Ironsights[]

The .38 Revolver's ironsights cannot have their zeroing adjusted.
Ammunition[]

Base damage value | Aerodynamic friction | Initial velocity (m/s) | Penetration depth (mm) |
---|---|---|---|

The .38 Revolver can only load one type of "magazine". It has a weight of 6 "mass" units and can be shared with Model 10 revolvers:

Trivia[]
- The .30 Revolver's ironsights were slightly adjusted after the release of Update 1.3 so that the front sight is more visible in first person.[1]
