Its reload speed is perhaps its main flaw, being slower than any other sidearm, which is exacerbated whilst dual-wielding. However, its rate of fire is slower than both the Double-action and Cattleman revolvers, as is the reload speed. Its damage and accuracy are on par with the Schofield Revolverif not better, and superior to that of both the Double-action and Cattleman revolvers. The LeMat is a cap and ball revolver with a single-shot, smooth bore barrel of buckshot beneath the main barrel.
