Colt Single Action Army Revolver

"This is the greatest handgun ever made. The Colt Single Action Army. Six bullets. More than enough to kill anything that moves. Now I'll show you why they call me... "Revolver""

- Revolver Ocelot to Solid Snake on Shadow Moses Island

The Colt Single Action Army Revolver was a powerful single action revolver holding six rounds of ammunition. The Single Action Army was designed for the US cavalry by Colt's Manufacturing Company and adopted in 1873.

Revolver Ocelot adopted this sidearm as his weapon of choice after his semiautomatic Makarov pistol jammed during combat with Naked Snake. Snake advised Ocelot his shooting style would better suit a revolver, and sure enough, Ocelot took his advice and became a master with the Single Action Army. This weapon was responsible for the loss of Snake's right eye during his time in captivity at Gronzij Grad during the Cold War.

Ocelot was still using his Single Action Army during the Shadow Moses incident, during which he challenged Solid Snake to a gunfight in the lower levels of the nuclear disposal facility. Snake bested Ocelot, in part because his adversary had to continuously stop to reload his six-chamber revolver, though Ocelot himself stated he loved to reload during battle. Following the duel, Ocelot lost his right arm to Gray Fox's sword, and found he was not so proficient at handling his revolver with his left hand. Ocelot later replaced his lost arm with that of Liquid Snake, and was once again able to wield his revolver with peerless skill.
