Scoped .44 Magnum

The scoped .44 Magnum is a weapon in Fallout 3.
==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. There is no recoil when looking through the scope and firing.
===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. 
* 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 fires a slew of pellets instead of a single bullet. It is 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.
===Comparison===
==Locations==
* In the truck to the left of the tent where you find the 5th Keller family transcript.
* Inside Vance's office wall safe during the Blood Ties quest. Must be stolen.
* On one of the skeletal remains in the Marigold station, along with a box of .44 Magnum cartridges.
* On a table a few feet away from the very hard locked door in the broken bow portion of Rivet City, near Horace Pinkerton's lab.
* Inside Reilly's Rangers headquarters.
* Mister Crowley of Underworld, Eulogy Jones of Paradise Falls, Willy Wilson of Andale, Billy Creel in Megaton, and Crow, the traveling merchant, all wield this gun.
* In a sunken boat near the Jefferson Memorial.
* Under a flight of stairs in the Hubris Comics printing room.
* Near a rotting brahmin corpse in the Shalebridge Hill ant tunnels.
* In a toilet's cistern in the ladies' room of the corporate offices of the Vault-Tec headquarters.
* In the flooded metro, behind a large transformer, near a skeleton and a copy of Guns and Bullets.
* On the second floor of the ruined building southeast of Tenpenny Tower, by a skeleton near a wooden shelf.
* 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 investing 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.
* Olney sewers in the room with the workbench on a table to the right.
* On the top-left shelf behind Knight Captain Durga in the Citadel armory.
* Tobar carries a 44. scoped Magnum. If Tobar is still essential, it can be acquired by starting a fight with him and then shooting the gun out of his hands.
* In the northeastern part of Point Lookout, next to a skeleton, two frag mines, and two ammunition boxes.
* 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.
* One in the cargo hold, on a shelf near the research lab exit.
==Notes==
In the .44 revolver's reload animation, there are still live rounds present in the speedloader after reloading the gun's cylinder.
==Behind the scenes==
Lord Humungus, the villain from the film Mad Max 2, wields a scoped .44 Magnum revolver identical to the one in the game during the scene where he tries to use it against Max.
==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.
