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, like 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.
