Scoped .44 Magnum

The scoped .44 Magnum is a version of the .44 Magnum revolver upgraded with a scope.

Characteristics
The scoped .44 Magnum is a very high-powered pistol. It has a very long effective range, which is further extended by the scope, but also has a low rate of fire for a double-action revolver.

When looking through the scope and firing, there will be no recoil, allowing the player character to snipe multiple targets with ease.

Durability
A fully-repaired Magnum can fire approximately 229 rounds, or 39 reloads, from full condition before breaking.

Variants

 * Blackhawk - While it is much stronger than the regular .44, it is also the weakest of the unique versions. However, it is the most powerful version in the original game with no add-ons.
 * Callahan's Magnum - Named after famous gunfighter and security guard Harold Callahan, Callahan's Magnum is the more effective version of Blackhawk, dealing more damage with slightly more wear and tear on the gun.
 * Paulson's revolver - Drawn by space cowboy Paulson in the hostile confines of Mothership Zeta, it lacks the scope and fires a slew of pellets instead of a single bullet. Its also unique for not having a scope, while other variants of .44 Magnum revolvers do.
 * Wernher's scoped .44 Magnum - An unobtainable version of the scoped .44 Magnum carried by Wernher. It has significantly higher health but is otherwise identical to the standard variant.

Locations

 * In a locked safe in Vault 87, with a few grenades and some purified water.
 * Behind a Hard locked door (or Average terminal) on the first floor of the Chryslus Building Reception Area, next to a copy of Guns and Bullets.
 * Tulip in Underworld may sell one.
 * Lucky Harith may have one, especially after you invest in him during the unmarked quest Merchant Empire.
 * During the quest The Nuka-Cola Challenge, if you get the Nuka-Cola Clear formula from the Nuka-Cola plant and go to the Red Racer factory, a man named Ledoux carries one.

 * In Desmond's Panic Room.
 * In the Presidential metro, at the top of a set of stairs covered in rubble, the Magnum is at the top of one of these flights. It is advised to have the Pip-Boy light on, or ask Dogmeat to sniff it out, as the weapon blends in quite easily with the rubble and can be hard to spot.
 * In one of the storage areas in level 2 of the Mobile base crawler.

Behind the scenes
Lord Humungus, the villain from the film Mad Max 2, wields a scoped .44 Magnum identical to the one in the game during the scene where he tries to stop Max from reaching the settlers with the truck.

Bugs
When zooming in and waiting at the same time, the right and left part of the screen will turn into a sky blue, while the effects of looking through the scope will be missing.
