Double Action Revolver

The old man, who was a retired general of the Empire's army nodded as he took the paper and read the contents to verify if it was an original or not. Once he was done with it, he sighed, "Understood, but which weapon would you like to buy? Poisons or tranquilizers?"

"A revolver, general Bett. As you can see, I'm not really cut out for combat, so the most efficient method of keeping my life intact is by having a weapon that doesn't rely too much on skill and the quality of my physique."

Bett stared at Keith for a while, deep in thought before nodding, "If you want to, then okay. No one must know about the revolvers at this point... so who told you about it? The priest?"

"Sheriff Adam, he's my brother in law."

"Ah. Makes sense then. After all, he's the one who used to provides us with ammo. The ability to create 12 bullets every day might not be much, but is extremely useful for the empire." he said as he nodded after finally understanding everything.

Keith smiled in response, "Yeah, I'm glad that my sister married someone as important as him."

"Hahahah yes yes, she's very lucky. Come with me and pick the revolver you want. Also, consider it a gift from this old man. Your family has helped me a lot, especially Adam."

"If that's the case, then I thank you wholeheartedly, General Bett."

Bett waved his hand, showing that it doesn't matter and walked into the store room that was behind the store with Keith silently following behind him. 

This room way way bigger than the actual shop and Keith saw multiple daggers, and every single weapon that was displayed outside. There were at least a hundred of each kind. 

He followed Bett to the end of the room and stopped in front of a large wooden box that did not have a lid on top. Inside the box, were multiple other boxes that had various luxurious finishes. Some boxes were polished until they reflected light and some had extremely intricate designs carved onto them. 

In Keith's eyes, those boxes would have had more value in his old planet compared to the revolvers themselves. 

He watched as Bett took out every single box and placed them on a table nearby. In total there were twelve boxes and out of these twelve, there were three different groups. 

Six boxes looked plain, but were polished well along with having a small carving that said, "God Of War"

Four boxes were painted black and had a wax seal which showed the symbol of the Empire, which was basically a palace with a sun on top.

Next were the two unique boxes. Both of them had intricate designs carved onto them and had no symbols or wax seals on them.

Bett opened up one box that said "God Of War", one that had the wax seal of the empire and the last two boxes which had unique carvings on them. 

All four of them had revolvers inside them, but all of them had their own differences. 

Bett pointed at the first revolver, "This one is created by the craftsmen from the War Church. It's cylinder can hold four bullets, but it has a unique mechanism where the entire cylinder detaches from the revolver so that you can quickly load up another cylinder."

"This one is created by the empire and is the most basic one among all. While it is basic, it's extremely reliable. It has five bullet chambers in the cylinder and uses stronger bullets compared to the Revolver from the War Church. This means longer ranger and higher attack power. Look, even the barrel is longer." he said as he lifted up the revolver, showing Keith the differences. 

Then, he picked up the two revolvers that were in two unique boxes. 

"These two... were crafted by individual craftsmen, so I can't vouch for their reliability. But it's my job to tell you about the weapons, so let's continue."

He lifted his left hand indicating that he was about to talk about the revolver in his left hand, "This one can also hold a maximum of six bullets, but the one thing that differentiates this one from the revolver issued by the empire is that this one is... let me remember... oh yeah, a double action revolver.

Regular revolvers require you to pull the hammer back after you take a shot, but this one does it on it's own. Which means that technically, you can shoot more in less time if you're inexperienced with revolvers.

Next, the one in my right hand is also made by the same guy. This one is also a double action revolver, but has a smaller barrel. This one will be easier to carry and hide compared to the others and it also uses the same bullets as the Empire's revolver."

Keith nodded, understanding what Bett was trying to say as he had already seen the bullets that Adam conjured out of thin air. They perfectly fit with the Empire's revolvers and based on his old life's knowledge, he could tell that these bullets were the same as 9mm bullets. 

He thought about it for a while and really liked the fourth revolver as he could easily hide on his body and move about freely. He didn't care too much about range as he never planned on using the gun to snipe people more than a 100 meters away.

"General Bett... I really like the fourth one, but I don't know what to do since you told me that you can't vouch for it's reliability."

Bett nodded, understanding what Keith was trying to say, "Yeah, I get it but you're free to come exchange it whenever you want. After all, you're going to have to practice with this first before using it on criminals."

"That's right." Keith said, nodding as that was exactly his plan. He was from a country that had strict regulations when it came to the possession of fire arms, so he never had much of an experience related to shooting.
