Trivia
- A small detail not actually seen in-game, the model itself has the manufacturer and serial number etched onto it, labelled "TAURUS INT. MFG. MIAMI, FL - USA" and "MADE IN BRAZIL".
- As identified by the serial number, the revolver model shown in the game is the Taurus Ultralight Model 85, a .38 special snub nose, small framed revolver.
- Although the revolver is the most powerful handgun in Cry of Fear, in real life a .38 special will deliver ~230 foot pounds of force, however the .45 ACP used in the Ruger P345 delivers 450-600 foot pounds of force, so in real life it is likely that the P345 would have more stopping power than the revolver.
