Obrez pistol or revolver?

Hey Guys,

I really love my new obrez pistol, I thought it would be great for my semi pistol medal this week but te kills won't count in the medal progress.

Does this mean it's categorized as a revolver? Or something else?

Cheers
  • Yeah, last week I had the lightning cross order medal tracked, but no progress at all with the obrez pistol. So thats for sure its not a semi pistol.

    Since you didn't get any ribbons at all, it probably counts as a sidearm, with no specific class.

    Thanks a lot for your test. If I find any other progress somewhere with the obrez pistol, I will let you guys know here.

    Cheers

  • While I'm not entirely certain I think the Obrez counts for bolt action kills, since it's neither a semi-auto nor revolver.

  • Hmm, also possible since its a shorter version of a rifle. I will look if I see any progress in bolt action rifle kills when I make a kill with the pistol. Thanks a lot

    Obrez, from my knowledge, is a modified (cuttoff) Mosin Nagant rifle. More of a sawed-off shotgun, to be more precise. Not sure how is classified in the game, but in reality that was a sawed-off rifle (not necessary Mosin-Nagant).

    P.S.: found an article that explains it better.

  • Well, Obrez Pistol's ammunition in-game is classified as 762x54mmR_Pistol , in comparison to Mosin-Nagant M91's ammunition being 762x54mmR_Bolt. Obrez does fire in bolt-action, though. So go figure. All Medic's guns are considered "semi-auto" for the sake of the medals and assignments, for example, so one would simply have to test this out to make sure of it.

    Don't have any medal on me taking revolver nor bolt-action kills right now so can't check for sure.

    EDIT: A small test with the "Order of the Golden Heart" I happened to have on Weekly medals currently. The kills were counted for the "Get kills with sidearms" , and on the end result Stats tab, the Obrez kills are counted as "Handgun kills". But curiously, getting 5 kills with the Obrez Pistol granted me absolutely no Ribbon at all. No Lightning Cross (Semi-auto handguns), no St. Sebastian's Ribbon (Revolvers) nor Scout Ribbon of Valor (Single-Action Rifles) . So with this test's conclusion I would say that the Obrez Pistol would be counted as a single-action handgun, hence not fitting into any of the actual criteria for the Ribbons.

    If someone does happen to have the St. Sebastian's Order, Lightning Cross Order or Scout Order of Valor available, feel free to test it but considering it gave no progress to Ribbons, I'd imagine it wouldn't give any progress to Medals of the same branch, either.
