sucks. I hate it. Maybe I just suck with the gun, maybe it's cuz I'm not host. I don't know, but I hate it. If I wanted to use a Magnum, I'd switch weapons. And why, in Odin's name, is it always on maps too big for that POS pistol? I can stand still, and time my shots, aiming carefully, yet i get better (barely) results from spamming the trigger, even at long range! I conclude that it all sucks.

There's a lot of luck involved when it comes to cross mapping with the POS but after a glance at your numbers, it's definitely you as well.

If you are referring to my hit% with it, it's because I only use it when I have no choice. And I admit I'm not good with it, but there have been too many instances where I should have gotten kills but didn't. Mainly because It always ends up on Pinnacle.

Lrn2Magnum.

I can see them being bull-blam!- in SWAT, but that's because it's SWAT.

I don't mind it in normal games, just SWAT it sucks. I'll actually get kills when shields are involved.

Swat is about host more than anything, but I was refering to your K/D. It's terrible. So you're probably terrible with more than just the pistol.

A good test of how good you are with the pistol (or even practice) are the anniversary game types where the magnum is a 3 shot kill.

1. I don't play for my k/d, I play to have a generally good time. I never said I was the best MF out there, I was just expressing my dislike for swat magnums. And 2. When I said "stand still" I do it from long ranges when my target is ALSO standing still.

Meh, I like it, if im going to play swat, I use the magnum most of the time anyway, and as most people dont use the magnum that often, im actually better than some people that play swat.

I never use the magnum in normal swat, it is not better than DMR in any way. Magnums are annoying on pinnacle, but are fun on smaller maps like zealot.
