Mysterious Magnum

The Mysterious Magnum is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The Mysterious Magnum is a unique .44 magnum revolver that plays the Mysterious Stranger's theme whenever it is drawn or holstered. This revolver features a silver finish with intricate engravings etched all around the weapon, a pearl grip, and a significantly faster firing rate than a normal .44 magnum. It can also be concealed so long as your sneak skill is 50 or greater, making it an improved holdout weapon. Like most unique weapons, weapon modifications cannot be used on the Mysterious Magnum.

Durability
The Mysterious Magnum can fire a total of about 745 standard rounds, the equivalent of 125 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * .44 magnum revolver, standard .44 magnum that can be found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
 * Mysterious Stranger's .44 magnum, a unique .44 magnum used by the Mysterious Stranger.
 * Raul's .44 magnum revolver, a unique non-playable .44 magnum used by Raul. It only differs from the standard .44 magnum from its use of magical companion ammo and it has more damage.

Location
It is owned by the Lonesome Drifter, who is sitting in front of the Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard next to the highway just east of El Dorado dry lake and north of the El Dorado Gas & Service. It can be acquired by passing a barter check of 50 during the quest Talent Pool or can be looted/stolen from his person.

Bugs

 * When drawing the revolver, the tune will occasionally play twice. To hear it play correctly, simply go into third person and draw the revolver. This may be caused by possessing the Quick Draw perk, or a high Agility.
 * You can obtain two of the revolvers by stealing the weapon from the Lonesome Drifter and then later doing a barter check of 50 during the quest Talent Pool.
 * If loading a saved game from the main menu in which you have the Mysterious Magnum equipped and drawn, the reload animation takes twice as long as normal. This can be solved by simply switching to another gun and then back again.
 * When you use .44 magnum or the Mysterious Magnum in Third Person View, most of the time you will miss the target, even while you're aiming. So it's better to use this gun in First Person View.
 * Occasionally, when the Mysterious Magnum is equipped, the cylinder of the weapon can be seen protruding from the back of the gun. This glitch has no effect on gameplay, as it is merely cosmetic. It can be fixed by un-equipping it and re-equipping it. It also happens with the regular .44 Magnum, especially with the Heavy Frame.
