User:XW3 AR3 L3GION/.44 Magnum Revolver

The 44 Magnum Revolver is a modernised version of an antique design, introduced to the UNSC Defence Force as an alternative to the M6N, the UNSC’s standard sidearm.

Using a .44 calibre round, the Magnum Revolver has greater stopping power when compared to the M6N but like all revolvers the Magnum only has six chambers. Again, Marines use a speedloader to quickly reload the Magnum but first must empty the cylinder of the bullet casings. The Revolver will fire only as fast as the trigger is pulled, meaning that all six rounds could be fired within four seconds. This method of firing is completely inaccurate with the massive recoil but can quickly overwhelm any enemy in close-quarters. A single round can kill a Unggoy or an unshielded Kig-Yar while four well-placed shots can drop a Jiralhanae's shields.

The Magnum Revolver has no additional features – it is unable to support a larger clip size or a silencer. However it is able to feature the ‘HH8-X’ Plasma Round, a modified version of the standard HH7-X round, as the Magnum Revolver firing hammer simply destroyed the round inside the barrel, resulting in the loss of three fingers from a Marine during a live demonstration.

Made out entirely of Titanium Alloy, the hand grip uses a mouldable Polymer that adjusts that the users grip which helps to keep the recoil of the shot from hurting the wielders wrist. The Magnum Revolver comes in standard sliver or a black colour that allows the Magnum to blend with the Marines new black armour.
