| This gun is unusually filthy for a handgun in the Gungeon. The Gundead spend much of their time polishing and greasing guns, though they conspicuously leave the Magnum alone. | |
Magnum is a gun that appears in Enter the Gungeon and Exit the Gungeon, as well as in Enter the Gungeon: House of the Gundead under a different name. It is a 6-round revolver that deals decent damage with a high fire rate.
In Enter the Gungeon: House of the Gundead and the Apple Arcade version of Exit the Gungeon, the Magnum is called the Hand Cannon.
SynergiesETG
Detective Magnum - If the player also has 38 Special, the guns are dual-wielded.- Reload Roll - If the player also has Easy Reload Bullets, dodge rolling reloads six bullets.
- This synergy does not function if obtained through the Lich's Eye Bullets.
- Wicked Sister - If the player also has Briefcase of Cash or Lies, the Magnum will transform into a larger variant with an axe head attached to the barrel. This form of the Magnum has a higher max ammo of 200, and shoots larger projectiles. Additionally, reloading the Magnum in this form will swing it as an axe, destroying nearby enemy projectiles and knocking back enemies.
Other Appearances
- A gun that is most likely the Magnum appears held by The Robot in promotional art for the Payday Update, illustrated by Max Grecke.
- The Magnum appears in the STRAFE mini-game Enter the Gungeon 3D Blast, held by Bullet Kin. It cannot be obtained by the player.
- A unique higher resolution sprite of what appears to be the Magnumn appears on the opening page of the 'Guns' chapter in the Physical Ammonomicon. The same page also contains a unique 1-Bit rendition of the Magnums ingame sprite.

- The quote "5 shots or 6?" is a reference to the film Dirty Harry.
- The gun's description also is a reference to Harry calling his magnum a filthy gun.
- The Reload Roll synergy may be a reference to Cassidy from Overwatch, who has the ability to reload his revolver while performing a roll.
- The Wicked Sister synergy may be a reference to the Gentlemen Bastard series by author Scott Lynch in which the Wicked Sisters are the twin hatchets serving as the primary weapons of one of the series’ two protagonists - Jean Tannen.
- The Magnum's altered form with the Wicked Sister synergy was originally an unused standalone gun, also named Wicked Sister.
- The Detective Magnum synergy is likely a reference to the 1980s crime drama Magnum, P.I., a television series starring the titular character, Thomas Magnum, as a private investigator.
- Two Magnums always appear in The Cultist's Past, one for each co-op player, to allow them to fight each other.
