Charity

==Overview==
Charity is, or was, a Smith & Wesson 500, five shot revolver which serves as the primary armament of Spike, formerly the Russian Roulette gun used by Celestia during stressful moments when she hoped for an abrupt vacation.
==History==
Charity was originally a gun brought from the human world by Celestia after learning of such things from Twilight. It was originally used to play Russian Roulette whenever Applejack brought bad news. Despite many attempts though, the gun always clicked on an empty chamber for Celestia, but would fire the loaded one when pointed at anything else.
The first time Spike canonically used it was to convince Mayor Mare to shape up and do her job properly, it has remained at his side since and served as his primary firearm.
At some point, Rarity implanted at magical sigil onto the gun and used it to keep an eye on Spike out of concern for his degrading mental condition, resulting in the gun gaining the name "Charity", which at first spoke through him in a fellceto voice, and many, including Spike himself, figured it was just his imagination. It was after the robot invasion arc that Rarity explained things and Charity/Rarity began to cease speaking through Spike.
After the Robot Invasion arc, Twilight and Rarity proceeded to heavily upgrade Charity into an unrecognizably powerful weapon (for more details, see: upgrades below) and it was upgraded one last time from Rarity post Tournament arc due to running out of both conventional and magical ammunition.

*Charity is the only gun shown that was originally from the Human World, rather than based on human designs and built by Twilight, Fawntine Industries, or Diamond Tiara
