Techniques

The .357 Magnum is quite possibly, the most powerful gun within the game. However, the magnum does have its drawbacks, such as the fact it only has six shots, a slow reload, no secondary fire, slow shots and a maximum of 12 cartridges can be carried as extra. Nevertheless, this gun sure does pack a punch. It can beat just about anything thats some sort of human form with a headshot. This gun is also powerful enough to shoot incoming grenades back towards the attacker, for those with a decent aim. Like the Shotgun, the "hit-and-run" technique works well with the Magnum, popping out from corners and killing an enemy and rushing back to reload.
