Mechanics and Play
The .357 Magnum is a powerful accurate cartridge and when paired with the general x1.25 headshot multiplier, makes it quite potent against all foes. With headshots, the Atlas variant can kill any generic vanilla monster in 1 - 2 shots.
It is possible to snipe targets if one aims well using the provided iron sights, given the accuracy of the rounds and headshot multiplier.

Trivia
- It features a somewhat unusual reload animation where the gun is disassembled and its cylinder removed entirely, though it is still entirely reasonable to do this for a fast reload with a single action revolver.
- It was the first gun to feature smoke coming from the barrel after firing and full animations.
- The gun resembles the starting pistol (simply named "Pistol") from BioShock 1. Chambered in the (comparatively) common .38 caliber and being able to kill most Splicers with a single shot, it's a powerful early-game weapon.
- The Pistol itself is strongly based on the Webley Revolver, with the barrel's shape and the gun's frame being the most obvious similarities. While the Webley is also a break-action revolver, it is not reloaded by replacing the entire cylinder, instead rounds are simply ejected.
