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 definitively a joke by the producers, 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.
