Python Revolver
Ranged weapon,Rare,Blueprint
The Python Revolver packs 6 Pistol Bullet rounds, two fewer than the Revolver, and takes a sight and an underbarrel attachment.
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.

Python Revolver crafting, blueprint progression, and recycling in Rust
Crafting Python Revolver in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 60 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
How Python Revolver compares to related weapons in Rust
When choosing between Python Revolver and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 510-scrap tech tree path and save 450 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.
