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 BOBs that fought to free the S'pht homeworld Lh'owon from Pfhor occupation.[1]

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. [2]

Notes

Unlike the .45 Magnum, which appears to be a revolver, the .44 appears to be a semi-automatic handgun.
