im just wandering if revolvers are in ww1 because i want my skill cannon pistols that can 1 shot head shot in cqb
Considering they existed almost 100 years before WW1, I’m assuming they took at least some part.
Has google upped its subscription cost? Seems not many are willing to pay for it anymore
im basically asking if revolvers will be in this game..
no need to be rude
Officers usually carried revolvers in WW1. There should definitely be a couple of revolvers in game. I hope so. Actually I think revolvers were the most common sidearm in general during WW1.
I also hope the Colt 1903 pocket hammerless is in the game. I’m not actually sure they were used in WW1, but it was a common officer’s pistol in WW2. Patton carried one in his waistband and called it his insurance policy. Either way, it’s from 1903, so it wouldn’t be out of place to have it in game. 1911s weren’t very common as sidearms in WW1 either and that’s in game.
I inherited my grandfather’s 1903 that he used in WW2 and it’s a really nice pistol.

edit: LOL at code fail
lmao code fail. but yeah i dont know the m1911 i think was standard issue durring ww1 through the vietnam war
but i have no clue. all i know is it was invented in 1911
You’re right. The Americans did use 1911s in WW1 although I don’t know if they were issued to all soldiers or just officers. Can’t find enough info at the moment. I know the Canadians used a revolver and I’m pretty sure the British did as well (Webley Revolver). I’ll do more research.
edit: a quick search led me to this page. Not sure of validity, but it seems legitimate (read: harmless) enough to me.

There are several revolvers shown here (and also the 1903 I mentioned earlier)
Many revolvers existed in WW1, so yes there will be revolvers.
I hope the Webley-Fosbery is in Battlefield 1!
I want a WW1 version of my beloved Sei Unica!
Sei Unica is bae!~ 
I know a Webley revolver has already been pointed out in I believe both trailers so far. Hope it makes multiplayer after all I see no reason why it would not.
Yeah, the standard Webley revolver seems to be featured. However, what I’m asking for is the Webley-Fosbery, which is a semi-automatic revolver. As in it uses the gun’s recoil and a slide to cock the hammer and rotate the cylinder after each shot. This video should show how its action works.
I believe the Fosbery is seen in the Gameplay trailer, go to the 2:40 mark in the video
Looks cool I wouldn’t mind using that myself.
Yea that’s a neat gun. Recoil looks immense. I hope it operates the same in game if it is in game.
Well, that’d make it balanced, actually. Fast operation (rate of fire) due to its semi-automatic action, but increased recoil to balance it out.
The more modern Mateba Model 6 Unica “Autorevolver” fires from the 6 o’clock position of the cylinder, actually putting the recoil in-line with the user’s hand to decrease muzzle flip. The creator of this handgun also did some work on the more simplistic Chiappa Rhino (featured as the “SW40” in Battlefield 4), which also fires from the 6 o’clock position, before he passed away.
And the Webley-Fosbery action was perhaps more ahead of its time than you’d think. Practically the same action was used with the Pancor Jackhammer’s cylinder-magazine-thingy (MK3A1 in the Battlefield games). Not only that, but the shotgun used a blow-forward action similar to the Vietnam War era’s “Special Operations Weapon” (SOW), a bullpup configuration, and a “gas seal” (formed by the cylinder and blow-forward action) a bit reminiscent of the M1895 Nagant revolver.
Yeah, that’s probably a bit too much text for a simple suggestion, but in short, the Webley-Fosbery actually served as a pretty large inspiration for more modern and obscure firearms that actually seem like they’re from a sci-fi movie.
You bet your sweet flank there was revolvers in ww1. A whole mess of revolvers. Basically every country had a revolvers since semi auto were more expensive and a relatively new concept they chose to keep revolvers. Even the US with its Shiny new M1911s had a new Revolver for the war. We had incredibly simple revolvers with the Germans and the gigantic reichsrevolver which was obsolete the day they adopted it since it was single action meaning you had to the hammer back every time you wanted to fire , You also had to eject rounds with a stick. Then we have 9 shot revolvers like Rast and gasser m1896 to very new the weird and wonderful Webley-Fosbery.
I very much doubt they will leave out the plethora of revolvers used in ww1.
There were a bunch to choose from that were used in World War 1 so I imagine they will. As well as the ones mentioned there were the Colt 1898, Colt 17,MAS model 1892,Smith and Wesson model 1917, S+W model 3, S+W .38 special and the Webley Bulldog and Webley 1887.
Top post. Very interesting. Thanks good sir! *tips brodie helmet
