Magnum Pistol

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, like the regular pistol can. The Magnum is modeled after a .50 Desert Eagle. It is probable that this weapon will do more damage, fire faster, or have better accuracy than regular pistols, considering it can only be single-wielded.

Based on footage seen at PAX 2009, it seems that the Magnum can be obtained in safe rooms and in other parts of levels.
