A Magnum is a firearm weapon chambered in .44 magnum.

Usage

The Magnum can be attached to a holster or double holster for quick access and encumbrance reduction.

Pros	Cons
Cannot jam. Doesn't require magazines. Tied with the D-E Pistol for highest maximum damage of any handgun. Has the highest minimum damage of any handgun. Highest stopping power of any handgun. Highest range of any handgun.	Slower reload than a gun that uses magazines. Low round capacity compared to the semi-automatic pistols. Tied with the D-E Pistol for 2nd lowest accuracy of any handgun. Loudest handgun, zombies with default hearing are able to hear it from up to 80 tiles away.

Drive-by shooting

All guns have the ability to shoot from vehicles. First press V, which opens the vehicle radial menu and open your window. Aim and fire. Drivers and passengers are all able to use this ability at the cost of reduced accuracy while the vehicle is moving. The driver cannot control the vehicle while aiming, it's recommended to cruise at a safe speed and make sure there are no obstacles that can cause a crash while you're driving and shooting.

Attachments

Iron Sight : Increases firing range by 3 tiles.
Red Dot : Increases aiming speed.

Breaking doors

It can be used to bash down doors, dealing 5 damage per hit.

Condition

The magnum has a maximum condition of 10. Its rate of degradation is influenced by the aiming and maintenance skills. The chance of losing durability can be simplified to the following formula: 1 in (60 + maintenanceMod × 2). Where "maintenanceMod" is calculated using the aiming and maintenance skills.
Below is an example of the chance of losing durability at different levels of maintenance and aiming levels.

*For how this is calculated, see: Condition*
Maintenance skill	Weapon skill	Condition lower chance
0	0	1/60 (2%)
0	4	1/62 (2%)
0	8	1/64 (2%)
4	0	1/64 (2%)
8	0	1/68 (1%)
4	4	1/66 (2%)
4	8	1/68 (1%)
8	8	1/72 (1%)
10	10	1/74 (1%)

Distribution

The loot distributions can be found in the table(s) below.

Revolver_Long distribution Show / Hide

Effective chance calculations are based off of default loot settings, and median zombie density. The higher the density of zombies in an area, the higher the effective chance of an item spawning. Chance is also influenced by the lucky and unlucky traits.
