Scoped .44 Magnum

The Scoped .44 Magnum is a version of the .44 Magnum Revolver upgraded with a scope.

Variants

 * Blackhawk - Blackhawk is, arguably, the easiest unique Scoped .44 to obtain. While it's much stronger than the regular .44, it is also the weakest of the unique versions.
 * Callahan's Magnum (Broken Steel add-on) - Named after famous gunfighter and security guard Harold Callahan, Callahan's Magnum is the more effective version of Blackhawk, dealing more damage with less wear and tear.
 * Paulson's Revolver (Mothership Zeta add-on) - 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.

Ammunition
The .44 ammunition is somewhat rare in Fallout 3 and though the Scoped .44 Magnum has power, you may wish to conserve this ammunition type to use with the Blackhawk, Lincoln's Repeater, Callahan's Magnum and Paulson's Revolver if obtained and kept.

Usually people who sell arms and ammo, such as in Megaton and the armory in the Citadel, will restock on .44 rounds after 2-7 days.

One easy place is from Chief Gustavo in Tenpenny Tower or Flak 'N Shrapnel's in Rivet City.

Ammo for the .44 is very simple to acquire for players who have downloaded The Pitt DLC. Players can use the Ammo Press to create .44 Ammo by using more common ammo types (such as 10mm or 5mm if they are not a Big Guns user).

If you keep Sydney alive, she usually has a large supply of .44 Magnum ammunition in her inventory.

Appearances
The .44 Scoped Magnum appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes

 * This weapon is likely a reference to the weapon The Lord Humungus used in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.

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. (PS3)
