The scoped .44 Magnum is a weapon in Fallout 3.

Characteristics

The scoped .44 Magnum is a very high-powered pistol, doing 10 more points of damage than the .32 hunting rifle. 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. It's significantly lighter than a sniper rifle and carries a single round more in capacity.

When looking through the scope and firing there will be no recoil, allowing the player to snipe multiple targets more easily than with an actual sniper rifle, but causing less damage. The firing rate is also higher than the .308 rifle, so this may make up for the lower power when used for sniping.

A fully-repaired Magnum can fire 228 rounds, or 38 full cylinders, before breaking.

Variants

• Blackhawk, the weakest unique variant (with no add-ons).
• Callahan's Magnum Broken Steel, named after famous gunfighter and security guard Harold Callahan, Callahan's Magnum is more effective than the Blackhawk, dealing more damage with less wear and tear.
• Paulson's revolver Mothership Zeta, space cowboy Paulson's revolver lacks the scope and fires a slew of pellets instead of a single bullet.
