Broken Butterfly

"I see you have an eye for things. Gun's not just about shootin'. It's about reloadin'. You'll know what I'm talkin' about.

This magnum revolver can be acquired from the Merchant for 38,000 pesetas. However, a free Broken Butterfly can be obtained in the locked room next to the fountain in the castle. Leon will need Ashley's help to retrieve it. It takes up 8 spaces (4x2) of Leon's inventory.
