== Design | One of many weapons produced by [[Durandal]] and his [[S'pht]] allies, the .44 Magnum Mega Class A1 was the successor to the [[.45 Magnum Mega Class]]. This weapon was a mainstay of the [[BOB]]s that fought to free the S'pht homeworld from [[Pfhor]] occupation.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/lhowon.html#M2.02.2.1 Marathon 2: Durandal, The Slings & Arrows of Outrageous Fortune, Terminal 2]</ref> | ||

== Design Details == | |||
Manufactured aboard [[Boomer]], these weapons were functionally identical to their predecessors. The Mega Class A1 is a semi automatic, scoped, vacuum enabled pistol with an eight round magazine. However, the caliber is only .44 caliber compared to its predecessors .45 caliber. The weapon was also stated to have had a more ethical construction process. <ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/_files/Marathon_2_Manual.pdf Marathon 2: Durandal Manual, Page 16]</ref> | |||

The magnum is the player's starting weapon and serves as the workhorse, just as it did in ''Marathon''. Just like ''Marathon'', the weapon is capable of being dual wielded and is by far the most consistent long range weapon the player has. | The magnum is the player's starting weapon and serves as the workhorse, just as it did in ''Marathon''.
