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 .44 Magnum Desert Eagle and will likely re-use code from Counter-Strike as most other weapons do.

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