Classic!

Price: $317
Unlock level: 1

The LeMat is an extremely versatile revolver even though it got 24% votes on average. Both the LeMat and the Navy revolver deserve the top rank on this list. The best part about this gun is that it has an under-barrel shotgun attachment. It has the slowest reload time but the increased ammo capacity makes up for it. It holds 9 bullets whereas other revolvers only hold 6. Even if you run out of bullets, you can always use shotgun shells that the under-barrel attachment holds. It can only hold one shell at a time. It’s good for both PvP and PvE but we recommend you use it, especially for PvE.

Stats

  • Damage - 38.8
  • Fire rate - 0.62s (single), 0.40s (dual-wield)
  • Reload time - 6s (single), 10.70 (dual-wield)
