A brick of ammunition, .44 Magnum caliber, full metal jacket.Fallout in-game description

.44 Magnum is a type of ammunition in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Characteristics[]

The .44 Magnum ammunition type is a powerful, large-bore cartridge originally designed for revolvers. These rounds are more valuable and deal more damage than the commonly available 10mm. FMJ rounds of this caliber are effective against armor while suffering no damage penalty. Hollow points are effective against lightly-armored targets.

Variants[]

There are two variants of .44 Magnum ammunition:

  • .44 Magnum FMJ (A brick of ammunition, .44 Magnum caliber, full metal jacket.)
  • .44 Magnum JHP (A brick of ammunition, .44 Magnum caliber, hollow-point.)
