Reworking revolvers

[ComboTombo]

NOTE: I will be writing this from a real life viewpoint. In the game, we have 4 different revolvers; The Mateba, the Revolver, the Colt Detective Special, and the Russian Revolver. All of them use .357 by default, except for the Colt Detective Special, which uses .38 Special. This can be modified with the wrench to fire other ammunition.



Here's where my idea comes: Why need a wrench? .357 Magnum and .38 special both have a bullet diameter of .357 inches and a neck & base diameter of.379 inches. You can load and fire .357 ammo in a .38 special revolver*, and .38 special ammo in a .357**, without any modifications made to the revolver.

*.38 Special is weaker than .357, and has lower pressure. A revolver made to fire .38 Special can fire .357 Magnum, but since the .357 is stronger and has higher pressure, the revolver itself could malfunction (e.g cracks, misfire, round not properly clearing cylinder, or a low chance of the firing pin being destroyed).
**.357 Magnum is much stronger than .38 Special, and has higher pressure. A revolver made to fire .357 Magnum can most definitely handle its weaker, older brother, the .38 Special, without any malfunction from using different ammunition.

While we're on the topic of revolvers, could we please have the ability to re-skin the Colt Detective Special as much as we want, instead of only once per round?

so make it fire 357 by default, keep explosion chance?

Why?
As to the other stuff, you make an interesting point. I tend not to play detective a lot, so I'm largely indifferent.

I mean, yeah. The only thing I'm advocating for is to freely load the two ammunitions without a wrench.

Why not? If you can change the grip and paint of a revolver, you can do it a million times.

Not to put you down, but this means nothing. realism doesn't impact how we design the game in the slightest.

I do kind of like the idea of letting traitors load their revolver with .38 stolen from the detective, but I dont like the other way around.
