.44 Pistol: Difference between revisions

The '''Pistol .44''' is a pistol featured in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] episodic pack for [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It is a .44 Magnum-caliber handgun for quick and accurate kills. The weapon is based on the [[wp:AutoMag_(pistol)|Auto Mag Pistol]]. This weapon is more powerful and accurate than the .357 [[Desert Eagle]], but fires at a slower rate due to recoil and takes longer to reload because of its 8-round magazine. It takes 2-3 body shots to take down an unarmored target. Like other pistols, it is capable of being used for [[executions]].  It was first briefly seen in the second "Episodes From Liberty City" trailer in which [[Luis Fernando Lopez|Luis]] shot a gunman on a plane while driving the [[Bati Custom]] and jumped on before it took off. It can be first obtained by killing [[Vic Manzano|Vic]] in the mission [[Boulevard Baby]]. The weapon spawns in Luis' [[Northwood Apartment]] on the coffee table in front of the flatscreen after successfully completing 10 [[Drug Wars]] and completing Boulevard Baby. In The Ballad of Gay Tony's multiplayer, it is the default starting weapon, unless a specific weapon set is chosen.

The .44 Pistol is capable of delivering delayed fatal blows.  If the NPC is hit by 2 or 3 shots in the limbs or chest (not the head), they may survive for a few moments, laying on the ground, writhing in pain, before succumbing to death.
