Magnum Pistol

"Oh… my… GOD."

- Rochelle

The Magnum is a powerful handgun in Left 4 Dead 2. It has an eight round magazine and appears to deal a lot more damage. However, it cannot be dual-wielded, rather than how the regular P220 Pistol can. The Magnum is modeled after a .50 AE Desert Eagle. This weapon does more damage than regular pistols, able to achieve a one hit kill almost anywhere on a common infected, as well as being able to penetrate several common infected. It can also blow limbs off common infected, which the P220 Pistol cannot do.



Trivia

 * Even though the magnum is modeled in the .50 AE caliber, the 8 round magazine is only used in the .44 magnum variant.
 * Due to the size and power of this gun, it could be considered by some to be a tier 2 pistol.
 * In the game the magnum is named "Magnum Pistol".
 * When shooting the Magnum Pistol without crouching, your hand will have ridiculous recoil.
 * Similar to the P220 Pistols, the Magnum has no walking animation.
 * According to the text on the Magnum's side, the Magnum is produced by "1337 Weapon Industries (yOgi) PWN." and is made in Shyville. This is derived from Internet culture, as 1337 stands for "leet" a type of Internet language, and "pwn" is a variant of "own", a slang term which generally implies domination over another individual.
 * The both the left and right side of the Magnum are identical, down to the grease stains, while the P220 Pistol has slightly different left and right sides.
