OT-38

The OTs-38 Stechkin, known as the OT-38 in-game, is a revolver in surviv.io.

Info
The OT-38 sports a very slow rate of fire and very small clip size, but the damage somewhat compensates for this drawback. This gun is best used early-game, as the slow rate of fire makes the revolver extremely unreliable when it comes to close range encounters against stronger and faster rifles. The gun is widely considered the worst weapon to use 7.62mm ammo, and one of the worst in the game, along with the M9. However, dual wielding this gun can be mildly effective during early game, as long as you do not waste ammo. Because of how weak this gun is, it is commonly used in challenges.

Tips

 * Despite the slow rate of fire and small clip size, the OT-38 is useful against unarmed or non-strafing opponents. That said, it is mostly a waste of a gun slot to keep this gun, as it is with most pistols.
 * The OT-38 will kill an unarmored player in only four hits, which makes it pretty viable early-game, as long as you land your shots well.
 * Duel wielded OT-38s have a okay fire rate and great damage per shot, making them viable from early through mid-game. It is also extremely important as you can easily be taken out by pistol or SMG.
 * You can use this gun as a backup for the Mosin Nagant if you prefer sniper type of weapons.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, the OT-38 ejects spent casings when fired in-game. This obviously doesn't happen in real life, as it is a revolver.
 * The dual sprite for the OT-38 shows the two revolvers placed parallel to each other, unlike the M9 or G18C (whose dual sprites show the two guns in a crossed manner). The Dual Desert Eagle's icon is also this way.
 * The real gun is called the OTs-38 'Silent Revolver', and first entered production in 2002 for the Russian Army.
