9x39 revolver does exist, it's called Rsh-9. Shame they didn't put it into the game instead of the rhino which looks like it's chambered in regular revolver caliber.
Especially since it is so much cooler looking and has so much more modularity. Would have been a good way to balance it too. If they made it so that if you put the long barrel on it one tapped exos with normal ammo but needed AP to do it without the barrel but if you put the barrel extension and stock on it it became a primary slot weapon. That way they could also let you put an even better scope on it and really turn it into a little sniper. Also the RSH looks a lot closer to the Taurus judge aka the revolver chambered in a caliber that’s interchangeable with 4/10 shotgun shells and that would make the rechambering to 12 gauge make a lot more sense.
Man that thing looks like a beast. I feel like this was a missed opportunity for GSC. And the bigger brother Rsh-12 chambered in 12.7×55mm would probably drop a Pseudogiant in like three shots lol
Pretty positive it does nothing to damage other than affecting fall off range as a side effect of the increased range but yeah suppressors are quite good although it is worth bringing up that the extra durability drain they add is a pretty noticeable negative especially on guns you shoot a bunch like the APSB and mac-10 and it is often not a bad idea to remove them if you expect extended combat where you cannot avoid aggro through stealth.
Worth mentioning about Skif's Pistol is that you can use it against Burers without them ripping it out of your hands, since it can't be removed from your inventory. Great channel BTW. Your videos are always super informative when it comes to weapon tiers in games.
one thing about the apsb. you can buy the pistol from the concrete plant trader at any point in the game. so the moment you want to open world run to the concrete plant trade hub and savescum the trader till he trades for it. while true that you dont get the stick mag till end game you can still run around with a 18 round burst pistol that has optics.
Ranking is good, you can get a free Rhino west of Rostok from a cave with 2 bloodsuckers as well as 2 other randomly generated endgame weapons at 100% durability. You can grab it as soon as you enter Garbage : )
It’s good but falls off HARD against exo suits later on. The APSB is pretty much just better at that point. It one bursts in the head, has more ammo, better pen, and more attachments. Skifs pistol is quite good early. In fact I would say it’s so good early that everything else should be buffed especially the MAC-10 and USP there is no world where .45 should do less damage and less penetration than the intentionally underpowered 9x18 makarov ammo. Especially when you have to go out of your way to find a USP and ammo for it as well as it weighing something and everything. Also the PM should be buffed to incentivize people to use one other than skifs pistol as currently it’s just a waste of weight and space. The rhino also outperforms skifs pistol and is available immediately after leaving the lesser zone as well as the 2X sight. It one taps heads throughout the whole game with very available ammo and at quite good range. Don’t get me wrong skifs pistol is definitely A-tier considering it weighs nothing (literally has no weight), one taps enemies till late mid game, uses the cheapest ammo in the game, and has attachments available literally first thing after you finish the tutorial. But I don’t think it’s S-tier as the second enemies start wearing armor and you start running into tougher better armored mutants, it really starts to fall behind with its limited magazine, low range, low pen, and lack of any kind of optic.
Rhino is the best pistol in the entire game. APSB is second only because of how quick it breaks and how costly it is to repair for a pistol. Also don’t use the suppressors in this game your gun will break faster.
Hey Ron, love your channel and your passion for games but I’d recommend looking into explaining more fallout new Vegas and exploring the mods and mod packs and giving your opinion or even let’s play of them
its already the best fps open world you can play in last decade of gaming, and its missing Alife feature (complex AI system) when the game has alife implemented maybe in a couple of month , this is going to be the best fps singleplayer game of all times
The best 2 pistols are the rhino and the aps that are both good for late game. Skifs pistol is good early and mid game but then falls of. The rest of the pistols are honestly just bad mabe the mac 10 can be fun but its not as good as the aps.

Thanks for this information. I've never heard of this or the Rsh-12 revolver!

@@abs0lutezer045 ummm or for the fact that all the guns are real and arent called what they really are yet use the actual caliber size

"supressor doesnt matter too much in stalker"? broooo, supressor increases effective range, damage and accuracy. what chu talking about?
agree. invalidates his whole tier listing.

Yeah that is something really nice, you can also do the same with the Unique Fora because it is a quest item too.
Glad I found this channel, helped with New Vegas
Thanks!
I have been watching your fallout NV videos for awhile now. I just started stalker 2, happy to have you here!

Yeah you are right, you can get that early.
@@ReapeeRon heehee. Also am I crazy or does the apsb burn through durability like nuts
@@sethkownatka3438 It seems like it can not as bad as some weapons like the Gambit starts to break in like 4-5mags.
@@ReapeeRon wtf

That's a great tip, I didn't know that.
I thought I found one top right of burnt forest not too far from chem plant but not sure
S+++ the pistol you are literally forced to carry in your inventory either way that deals aight damage and uses extremely cheap and common ammo.

I don’t see any reason to carry another pistol, when you’re forced to carry skifs pistol.
this was my understanding until i got the rhino, its just too good not to use plus the special variant is beautiful
Skiff's pistol can't be pulled out of his hand so it's BiS.
I actually had a Burer rip it out of my hand when I was in the middle of switching weapons. 😂
@@NetNeelsie It really isn't. The Rhino and APSB are both MUCH better than Skif's pistol.
Skiff's pistol is my psyker dwarf killer.
Yeah that is really nice!
nut you cant put those MSGs to the pistol slot no? So why consider them?
Skif’s pistol can’t be taken by Burers. That being said I don’t like tge makarovs, but Just something to consider.
Hey Ron, love your channel and your passion for games but I’d recommend looking into explaining more fallout new Vegas and exploring the mods and mod packs and giving your opinion or even let’s play of them
Thanks, I don't know if I will do that. But there is a lot of really cool mods for NV
These are some strange-looking Fallout pis-
Oh. Wait. LOL. All good though, been waiting for a price drop to get STALKER 2...

Mac 10 gang please rise up
I will wait for the game to get patched a bit. Would like to go artifact farming to actually upgrade all my uniques.
Skif pistol, apsb or rhino the rest are trash
why AI is so terrible at shooting :D this game should be very easy in terms of combat
1 view after 1 minute, really fell off bro 😂
He has 3 likes, though... Go home UA-cam, you're drunk!
