6. The Nagant M1895 Officer

Watch the Nagant M18595 Officer here.

The Nagant Officer is everything the Nagant Silencer isn't. It’s a loud, fast, double action revolver meant to clear house at close range and suppress at medium range. The main benefit is its high rate of fire, which makes it an excellent sidearm for those who like to get up close and assault a position. The only drawback is the 6 round cylinder, but this gun works better as an ambush weapon, meant to be used in one or two goes and then set aside until you're safe to reload it.

The Nagant Officer packs a punch for its size. Its DPS is much better than comparable weapons because of the fire rate, and it retains the controllability of the regular Nagant M1895. As an added bonus, it can be aimed down its sights for greater improved accuracy and due to the lack of recoil, it’s common for experienced hunters to get headshots at medium range with this gun.
