##### <span style="text-decoration: underline;">**Overview:**</span>

<p class="callout success"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**PROS:**</span>  
- Very High Damage  
- Reloads Quickly</p>

<p class="callout danger"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**CONS:**</span>  
- Attacks Slowly  
- Small Magazine  
- Inaccurate  
- Relatively High Ammo Cost</p>

<p class="callout warning"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**TACTICS:**</span>  
<span class="mw-headline">Just one shot from this powerful handgun can kill almost any zombie it hits, and those few that survive are unlikely to withstand the decently fast follow-up shot(s). This can be exploited by shooting enemies in the back, creating critical hits and doubling the damage. Unfortunately, this will quickly empty its small magazine, though this is mitigated by a quick reload. Accuracy is on the low side for a semi-automatic pistol, so giving this to a survivor with a high Ranged Combat skill is recommended.</span>***<span class="mw-headline"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">  
Recommended gear:  
</span></span>***- Shooting Vests, Glasses, Shooting Gloves to improve its relatively mediocre accuracy.  
- Ammunition Mods to further increase its already terrifying damage, all but guaranteeing one-hit-kills.  
- Extended Mags to increase its small magazine, with some variants speeding up its already quick reload.</p>

<p class="callout info"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">**BACKGROUND:** </span>An overpowered Israeli-American handgun chambered in .50 Action Express, one of the largest pistol rounds in the world. Despite its size, weight and substantial recoil, it is highly popular amongst sport shooters, filmmakers, and game designers for its incredible power and imposing appearance, respectively.  
A very expensive firearm sold throughout North America.</p>
