The Big Iron

[Leadpoisoning]

The other day I was listening to "Big Iron" on the radio while toting a .44 mag, and...I dunno. It just struck me that none of the existing revolvers were quite big enough to do justice to the name. I did a little research and found this. This fits the theme of the game graphically, and, being chambered in the .500 S&W mag, is of a significantly larger caliber than anything currently available in the game.

 

My mod request consists of two parts:

1) A revolver named "Big Iron," in tribute to the song, in a larger caliber than anything currently available in the game. Note that I'm not demanding a photorealistic reproduction of the gun in the link. I felt that particular one would make a good model, but if someone wants to use something else that's fine as well.

 

2) A new ammo type, the .500 S&W. Now, rather than go to the trouble of editing this in to drop or what have you, I thought it sounded a lot simpler to make it a new craftable ammo type, using only the .50 MG round as a reagent. I'm aware that converting a .50 MG round into a .500 S&W is probably not possible or at least not practical in real life, but this is just for the sake of simplicity for both the player and the creator of the mod. (Also I've noticed that the .50 MG is vastly more abundant in-game than the .45-70 rounds you need for the hunting revolver and Sequoia, which always annoyed me.)

 

I look forward to hearing if anyone is willing to try this. Thanks.

 

Edit: Forgot to mention, it should (obviously) do more damage than any existing guns (including the Sequoia, IMO). This could be balanced my making the ammo recipe have a very high Repair requirement.

Well, since no one has shown any interest, I went ahead and made a crappy version by myself. It doesn't have a new model or ammo type.
