About the Colt 1847 Walker
The Colt Walker was a single action revolver with a revolving cylinder holding six charges of black powder behind six bullets (typically .44 caliber lead balls). It was designed in 1846 as a collaboration between Captain Samuel Hamilton Walker and American firearms inventor Samuel Colt. The 1847 Colt Walker was the largest and most powerful black powder repeating handgun ever made. It was created in the mid-1840's building upon the earlier Colt Paterson design. Walker wanted a handgun that was extremely powerful at close range. The colt Walker had a huge 9 inch barrel and was famous for being "as effective as a common rifle at 100 yards and superior to a musket even at 200." In addition to its large size and weight, problems with the Walker included ruptured cylinders after firing. The Walker had an inadequate loading lever catch that often allowed the loading lever to drop during recoil, preventing fast follow-up shots.
In Fistful of Frags
The Colt 1847 Walker is probably the biggest baddest weapon in the game (Figuratively). The Walker will one shot kill at most ranges often dealing >100 damage anywhere on the body. It's best to use the Walker at short range as it only has 85% Accuracy Left Hand, and you don't want to miss any of your shots as it takes a godly 19 seconds to fully reload this bad boy. So, a decent accuracy, close range, one shot killing machine. Whats the cost of all this? Only +4 Notoriety per Kill, as stated that 19 second reload, a slow rate of fire and huge recoil. This classic 15 inch long Grandad of the wild west sure does have it's up's and downs, It's best coupled with something that can fire quicker. You can find the Colt Walker in the Gold Chest.
