Gutterpunch is used to quickly incapacitate targets as the vomiting stun them. Hot Shot, on the other hand, WILL kill people, as it does a competitive amount of brute damage, while also setting any targets on fire immediately. Combined with the spam-y nature of the revolver, any target of Hot Shot is likely to die and husk from burn, unless they have robust fire resistance or immunity. Iceblox is much the same, but it significantly slows people down, rather than set them alight. Note that cold damage is equally capable of husking, as it deals burn damage, too.
Gutterpunch, while it won't stamina crit someone at the speed of standard .38, has far more lasting consequences in the form of making targets disgusted, which can cause them to be disoriented. High levels of disgust can cause stumbling and vomiting, which will massively impede a subject. Hot Shot, on the other hand, is a massively lethal ammo type. Its ability to set targets on fire combined with the spam-y nature of the revolver means that any target of Hot Shot is likely to die and husk from burn, unless they have robust fire resistance or immunity. Iceblox is much the same, but it significantly slows people down, rather than set them alight. Note that cold damage is equally capable of husking, as it deals burn damage, too.

If you ALT+CLICK on the revolver, you can change its skin. If its skin has already been changed, it spins the revolver's cylinder instead (which WILL randomize the order of bullets). You can use a pen to rename it or give it a description as well.
