The Quickdraw Army can be acquired at the beginning of Claire's [2nd] story. A .45 calibre revolver with six rounds; with the aid of fanning it is capable of firing extremely quickly with relatively low recoil and impressively fast focus time.
The Quickdraw Army is also the strongest non-magnum pistol in the game. With average damage of 180 per shot, it is almost 50% stronger than Leon's M19 which use the same type of ammo, and 90% stronger than Matilda and SLS 60. Even on adaptive difficulty level 8-9 where most pistols would suffer damage penalty down to below 100 points, The Quickdraw Army would still be able to deal approximately 120 damage per shot.
Another hidden advantage over normal pistols is the penetration ability. Due to the usage of Large-caliber Handgun Ammo, The Quickdraw Army is capable of shooting through multiple enemies much like magnum pistols. The calculation of critical chance is also done separately with each instance of penetration, making it possible to decapitate or delimb two or more zombies with just one well-placed shot.
The primary drawback is that each round has to be unloaded and reloaded individually, leading to a very slow and extremely long reload from empty, making it perhaps the slowest reloading weapon in the game. However, reloading a single round is fairly quick, and canny ammo management can make the Quickdraw Army an effective weapon in the right hands.
