Python: Difference between revisions

The '''[[Wikipedia:Colt Python|Colt Python]]''' is the most accurate pistol and only revolver available in the [[GTA III Era]] series of games. It also shares the record for being the most powerful pistol with the [[Desert Eagle]], although the Desert Eagle edges it out, being a .50AE instead of a .357. The Colt Python was first revealed in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and is available to the player on [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City]]'s main island, [[Ammu-Nation]] for $2000, spawnable in [[Vercetti Estate]], and discoverable in several locations. The high cost of the revolver (compared to the [[Pistol|M1911]]'s modest $100 price tag) comes with the reward of it being almost guaranteed to kill any target with a single shot. However, the gun cannot be fired while running, and must be fired from a Weaver position (grasping the butt of the gun with the right hand, then cradling the right hand and gun with the cupped left hand, all while planting feet at a wide stance) due to the heavy recoil of the .357 Magnum cartridge. It also has a moderate cylinder capacity of 6 shots, making it excellent against small groups. The Python is also available in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], and the version in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] (named '''Equalizer''') features a laser scope and a 6" barrel, although the scope cannot be used. The Colt Python is also a weapon in [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]], and was named the '''Revolver'''. Although it cannot be visibly seen in the game, a HUD image of the weapon can be seen on the touch screen and on the Ammu-Nation website (strangely, it resembles a snub-nosed .38 Smith and Wesson or a Colt Detective Special).
