Percussion Cap Revolvers?

[moosher12]

Was browsing the NPC Core, noticed the Arms Dealer was carrying some revolvers, one not unlike the Colt Walker 1847, which uses ball and powder, ignited by a percussion cap. I wonder if we'll be seeing a Percussion Revolver in the future, or was the inclusion of these weapons just an error on the artist's part?

Most likely it was a slight art mistake, they drew a gun that looked cool. Revolvers do exist in Pathfinder, though they are exceedingly rare from what I gather. The odd bit of art sometimes have them and I think the Russians in Irrisen have a few from Earth. It's not something your average Gunslinger has to make the aesthetics of Pathfinder look more fantastical.

Mechanically, the Slide Pistol fills the niche that Revolvers would fill, which is probably why it isn't a priority to include stats for them. Anything a player wants from a revolver could be handled by reflavoring a slide pistol.

I wouldn't be surprised if they later appeared as rare weapons.

I say this because implementing SF2e with several "firearms" that don't have the various limitations, restrictions and "fears" of G&G along with some supplement about Numeria could introduce more advanced weapons that are currently only found in the SF2e playtest for Golarion and are most likely marked as rare even for players in Numeria.

This could open up space for the revolvers that were much more common in PF1e to become relevant in the game again.
