The Magnumnomicon, from Fallout TRPG: Winter of Atom

The Magnumonomicon was commissioned by General John Whateley and incorporates many of the family's teachings, such as to "never raise up that which you are not prepared to put down." The gunsmiths involved in the creation of magnum died under mysterious circumstances. The magnum frame is made of a mix of heavy iron, with runes engraved in solid gold present on the barrel. The grip is crafted from leather of unknown origin, with "tentacle-like symbols" engraved into it. Ammunition fired from the gun is imbued with energies with unknown scientific origin.

Although the gun is described as a .44 revolver and for gameplay reasons uses the same ammo and modifications as other revolvers in the game, it has obviously been drawn after a Lefaucheux-type pinfire revolver from the second half of the 19th century.

The telltale features of a pinfire revolvers are the notch in the rim of each chamber designed to fit said pin, and the flat hammer wrapping around top of the cylinder to strike it. This arrangement is due to the pin jutting out radially from the side of the cartridge's case. Incidentally this makes the way the cartridges are stored in the display case a small mistake on the artist's part, as pinfire cartridges would have to be stored nose down. I think we can chalk this up to forgetfulness or even having to draw .44 rounds instead of confusing players too much, and appreciate the bit of variety brought by the inclusion of an old French revolver instead of your usual American 20th century gun.

Original U.S. Civil War French M1854 Lefaucheux Cavalry Model 12mm Pinfire Revolver

My pinfire pistol just came in the mail. :3 You can get 2mm balls to fire from it, but I opted for the flare attatchment combo instead. It's lowder than I expected. I wasn't expecting much more than the red ring of caps, but I'd say it's more like half way between that and a 22 short. This could definitely damage anything directly in front of the muzzle.
