RE: [HOE] Ruger Pistols



The only possible explanation that I can think of is that the length of the bullets is different.  In a Semi-Automatic you may need shorter ammo in order for it to be able to chamber the next round where as the revolver just turns the cylinder.  Since the amount of lead as well as the caliber makes a difference in the amount of damage a bullet will do, this seems a reasonable explanation.  However, if both guns take the exact same ammunition then I would agree that the damage should be equivalent.

Can anyone explain why the Ruger Thunderhawk (a .357 sem-automatic pistol) does 3d6, while a Ruger Redhawk (a .357 revolver) does 4d6?

 

I am assuming this is a typo in The Wasted West source book. Anybody know which damage it is supposed to be? I am assuming it is 4d6 since a .357 bullet is usually more powerful than a 9mm.
