Editing 44 Magnum (section)

=== Damage ===
The .44 Magnum has a higher rate of fire than the handcannon, although it deals slightly less damage per shot, has less ammo capacity and takes longer to reload. To compare, a single 44 cal Magnum has 400 rpm while Handcannon has 240 rpm which means a 60% faster fire rate compared to it. Magnum can empty the entire cylinder of six shots in 0.75 second, just a quarter shy and deals 630 damage while doing so. Wielding dual magnums drastically increases potential fire rate, amplifying it up to 800 rpm, making it empty both cylinders in 0.825 second, thus effectively near doubling the damage per second at the cost of increased reload delay.

Thanks to impressive fire rate, before reload damage output is 840 damage per second for a single magnum; when added reload delay of 2.525 seconds the figure goes down to 192 damage per second. Sharpshooter and [[Commando]] can reload Magnum 60% and 35% faster respectively which budges the after reload dps to 270.6 dps for Sharpshooter and 240 dps for Commando by single magnum bodyshots only. On double wield with bodyshots only, theoretical damage output figure ups to 1527.27 dps before reload and drops down 238 dps after reload. For level 6 Sharpshooters and Commandos, after reload values roughly round ups to 348.38 dps for Sharpshooter and 304.8 dps for Commando.

Like all other pistols, magnum shares the same headshot multiplier of 1.1x which can be improved by [[Sharpshooter]] perk. From the hands of a level 6 Sharpshooter, Magnum is capable of dealing 276 damage per headshot and reloads 60% faster, increasing the damage output figures to 2217.6 dps before reload and 711.30 dps for after reload for accurate headshots. For dual wield as a level 6 Sharpsooter, before reload numbers almost double to 4014 dps and after reload won't budge high up with 915.75 dps.
