## Dual Peacemaker

The **Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army**, known as the **Peacemaker** in-game, is a Pistol in surviv.io that uses the .45 ACP Ammunition.

## Strategies

* The Peacemaker is the MP220 of the Pistols section; it features excellent burst damage balanced out by long reloads and low clip size, which results in a low damage per clip.
* A Peacemaker has extremely high DPS, higher than that of any other weapon except Shotguns and some dual-wielded Pistols.
	+ However, the damage per reload is among the lowest in the game at just 174. A player with high health and high-level armor can survive this even if all shots hit them.
* The Peacemaker's long reload time means that you may want to use a secondary to finish your opponents off.

## Countering

* It is much easier to counter a single Peacemaker, but you have to be a bit more careful against dual Peacemakers in close range combat. Shotguns are the best type of weapons to counter with. If you rush a peacemaker and dodge some of its spray bullets, you can get in tight and shotgun it the user. This also works because the DPS is very low on the weapon, and it is hard to hit your shots.
* Make the user waste the magazine, then quickly take a couple shots while the reload time kicks in. It'll only take a couple of tries before you get them down.

## Pros and Cons

### Pros

* Since it's a Pistol, it can be dual-wielded
* High DPS
* Fully automatic
* High damage
* High fire rate for a Pistol
* Versatile, as if you tap fire it is pretty accurate (as long as you wait 0.35 seconds between shots), and has poor accuracy when spammed, allowing to replace a shotgun
* It is First-Shot Accurate.

### Cons

* Long reload time
	+ Even longer reload time when dual-wielded (5.1 seconds, longer than the PKP Pecheneg's reload time)
* Limited range
* DPS decreases by ~18.6 when dual-wielded
* Small clip size
* Loses complete accuracy once fired in automatic mode

## Rarity

The Peacemaker is a pretty common Pistol that spawns in the Desert Map. It spawns like the M93R in the normal map and is very common in Cattle Crates. It also can spawn in Meteor Crates.

## Sounds

* Firing

* Reloading
* Dual Reloading

* Switch-to

## Trivia

* The name "Peacemaker" is a common nickname for the Colt Single Action Army.
	+ the Army is also known by the nicknames "M1873" and "Colt Frontier".
* The real-life Single Action Army uses the .45 Long Colt cartridge, not the .45 ACP.
* It is one of three revolvers in the game, the other two being the OT-38 and the OTs-38.
	+ All of the revolvers do not use the same round standard to the other guns of their caliber in the game.
* Although it is a revolver, it can be fired full-auto, due to the fact that the survivr "fans the hammer" while firing.
	+ The Peacemaker can be dual-wielded, but firing it full auto makes no sense, as the player has to have one hand free to fan the hammer.
* The Peacemaker has a very good damage stat, similar to the OT-38, but the downside is the fairly long reload time.
* The reload sound for the Peacemaker implies that the player ejects and replaces all the rounds in the revolver every time they reload, even when their ammunition is almost full. This is unnecessary as they would only need to eject the spent rounds, which would make the reload speed shorter in real-life.
* This is the oldest gun thus far to exist in-game.
* This is the first limited-time-only gun, along with the Model 94 Rifle. It also can't spawn as a dual gun in the Normal map.
* It is the second automatic Pistol in the game, the first being the G18C, and also the second Revolver to exist.
* While it is First-Shot Accurate (FSA), it loses that status once the gun is shot automatic, and loses a ton of accuracy.
* Based on the Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army.
* The Peacemaker comes in a number of barrel lengths. The type used in-game is the common 4 3/4 inch "Civilian" length. Other lengths include the compact "Banker's Special", the long Artillery type, and the extremely long "Buntline Special".

## Countering

A Single Peacemaker has a DPS of 241.67, meaning that it can quickly kill you if all the shots land. However, it only has a bullet capacity of 6. The Peacemaker is basically a fully-automatic OT-38, also doing more damage and has a faster fire rate due to the fact that it's fully automatic. To counter this weapon, make your enemy waste their bullets by dodging all of their shots. then after that, attack. since the Peacemaker has a pretty long reload time for a Pistol, at 3 seconds, it'll give you enough time to damage the enemy but if you're fighting a Dual Peacemaker user, use the same strategy as the Single Peacemaker. Since the reload time of the Dual Peacemaker is extremely long, this is the best time to attack the enemy as they're very vulnerable while reloading.
