Death Penalty

The Death Penalty is a recurring gun in the Final Fantasy series. It is usually one of the strongest guns available.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy VII===
Death Penalty is Vincent's ultimate weapon obtained in ???, based on the Colt M1855 revolving rifle. The cave can be accessed either by a submarine or a colored chocobo. Vincent must be in the party to witness a cutscene, after which the player must fight between 2 to 11 random encounters and return to the cave, where Vincent finds the Death Penalty along with his Chaos Limit Break manual.
Death Penalty's power is boosted after every enemy Vincent kills. Due to a damage overflow glitch, if enough enemies are killed by Vincent, the weapon can kill almost any enemy with a single hit. This even includes Emerald Weapon, but not Ruby Weapon due to its high defense stat.
====Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII-====
Death Penalty is Vincent's ultimate weapon, now a large hand-cannon of custom make. It can be used in the last level when Vincent is in his Chaos form.
Unlike the original design, which is a rifle, the new version is a large handcannon-esque revolver made from metal with five unraveling barrels that form a cross motif. It has a menacing aesthetic using sharp and sleeked adornments in metallic gray and black.
Death Penalty is the most powerful weapon, firing deadly beams doing 2,000 damage to almost every enemy. As a drawback, it never deals critical hits, has a magazine of only 6, cannot be customized, and its ammo cannot be purchased.

Death Penalty is the Corsair's Mythic Weapon, which enhances the Quick Draw ability and has a unique Weapon skill called Leaden Salute. It is a large cannon not unlike a massive blunderbuss.
===Final Fantasy XIII===
