.44 Magnum Round (Fallout: New Vegas)

The .44 magnum round is a type of ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
A very high powered round.

.44, Hollow Point
Hollowpoint bullets mushroom and break up on impact, causing massive trauma on fleshy, un-armored targets. However, this also means they break up when they hit things like armor plate, drastically reducing the weapon's penetrating power.

.44, SWC (Hand Load)
An ultra-sharp, flat-nosed round designed to deal maximum damage to targets at close range, by tumbling when it hits. Originally designed to shoot paper targets. Schematics for making these can be obtained from Jules after passing a check for Guns (50) and Survival (60).

.44 Special Round
Though present in game code and referenced it at least one loading screen, cannot be purchased or obtained through normal gameplay.
