Many people hate the Magnum, that is becaue they are comparing it to the pistol in halo CE. The Magnum is a VERY effective weapon, at close, medium, and long ranges. yes long ranges!!. I often kill a BR guy with a single Magnum from a semi-long range fight.

Dual Magnums are unbeatable at close ranges, and very deadly at Medium, to Long ranges. This gun is very good, and should not be underestimated.

One misconception the magnum takes 7 HEADSHOTS TO KILL, NOT 13. just TRY IT!!! it takes around 13 BODY SHOTS TO KILL.

very good gun for ALL ranges. Duals are better at close ranges, Singles are better for Medium to Long.

Is this a joke thread? Because I know that either he is talking about SWAT, or he's playing a different game. Even in SWAT the Magnum is so inaccurate, even dual wielded that it just isn't possible to dominate with it.

You have obviously played against EXTREMELY unskilled people if they get KILLED by a Magnum ALONE at long range when they have a BR; heck, even at close range the thing still is really weak (bashing is fast though and that's it).

It is no joke, it is one of the best weapons in a combo....

That's what I am saying...^^ the Magnum alone is an extremely garbage weapon, especially off-host. Only effective in Duels, but even then I'd rather pick up a BR or Carbine.

But when combined with a Plasma Rifle, it'll stop a shotty dude dead in his tracks

No, I'll play you 1v1, I'll have BR, and you can have any magnum combo you want, and I'll still win. The magnum is barely effective in close-range, and only in a combo.

I'm wondering... Do you have Xbox live? Do you have the updates? Do you have the nerfed pistol?

Oh, and the magnum would not win in a fight across any map against a br, even if it's on your host. Nice try though.

Dude, your right, headshots with that mean death, I use them all the time, reguardless of what people say.

Decent when dual wield.
Fast as well, in the right hands.

K. I take my Battle Rifle, and I fight you with your magnum. Lets see what you can do: Well the accuracy is so terrible (sorry this isn't an opinion), that on any wide open map you just get owned. Even on lockout... the Magnum isn't effective in games other then SWAT. Lets see it takes 4 shots with the BR. It takes a full clip with the Magnum..... you still die. On small maps SMG + Magnum is effective, but even on a map like Zanzibar? Nope, probably not even on Sanctuary (when your fighting people who don't have an SMG).

wow, this is wierd. hehe.

lets forget about the Mag vs BR, because the BR guy was my friend. but other than that, I always own with this gun.....and im not the only one. The magnum is a better gun that the Carbine IMHO, only thing is it does not have a scope.

am I the only one that has been having luck with the Magnums for Longer ranges?

Oh, and dont forget how fast this thing fires, By the time the BR pulls of 4 bursts (12 shots) the Magnum would be done with its 7 shots (I can SWEAR on my LIFE that it takes 7 headshots, not 13) heres some proof: if it takes 1-2 headshots to kill an un-shielded opponent, how in the world can it take 13 to kill a fully shielded opponent? This gun is about the same as the Carbine which takes 7 headshots.

a level 20 could kill a level 40 if the level 40 had a magnum and the level 20 had a BR.
