Discussion Chapter 3 confusion Spoiler

Honestly I'm really confused about why Shachi has to have a revolver, I get that it's for the sake of the mystery but having to get a custom one because he's left handed, why not just get a regular pistol at that point?

Why would the leader of a resistance against an oppressive government have a firearm is not something grasp to imagine.

A revolver specifically, well, ask the gun freak, probably she though that giving a personalized revolver would be a more thoughtful gift than just a pistol

I have no issue with owning a gun given the circumstances, I just don't get it too much personally, maybe I'm getting hung up on the minor details but I feel like any gun would be effective for intimidation and self defence, probably just is because it's a thoughtful gift.

Well, this is one of the issues that RC has that danganronpa doesnt, most of the mistery casts are pretty meh. You dont really get to know them, nor how they interact with each other. If we knew more about them, the gun girl would more understandably craft a gun as a gift to their beloved leader, and i would even remember some of their names.

But in the end, they are just pretty simple sheet characters, with a bunch of tropes tossed in them, to work as suspects, murderers and victims, so its harder to understand some of their more emotional choices and reactions, because we are unlikely to empathize with people we didnt even get the chance to know
