This article is about the scrapped weapon known as the Revolver Sniper Rifle. For the other in-game weapons, see Revolver, Sniper Rifle, or Ambassador.

The Revolver Sniper Rifle is an experimental primary weapon for the Sniper that was being play-tested by Valve. The existence of this weapon was first discovered in the form of VTF filename strings found in the texture_preload_list.txt file that had been added to the game as part of the October 28, 2015 Patch.

Furthermore, when the game's source code was leaked, code was found pertaining to this weapon that showed it would have fired an actual physical projectile bullet, instead of the traditional hitscan method common to other guns in Team Fortress 2.
