Magnum (RE3)

"S&W M629C. A large stainless steel revolver. A classic type equipped with weights to reduce the recoil. It uses .44 Magnum Bullets."

The S&W 629 is a .44 Caliber magnum revolver made with stainless steel that is featured in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

The Magnum will be found in one of two places. The first is the locker in the S.T.A.R.S. office of the 2nd Floor of the Police Station. If it's not there you will find a Grenade Launcher, and instead the Magnum will be found in the Power Station. You need to unlock both of the shutter doors there. One room will contain the Fuse, the other the Magnum. Already-made ammo is available in only two areas: 2nd corpse at the back gate of the park, and the communications tower of the dead factory. This was done to balance out the addition of gunpowder. This weapon is used by Mikhail Victor in the Operation: Mad Jackal minigame.

The Model 629 is a stainless steel version of the Model 29, which is used in Resident Evil 5.

The M629C makes a brief cameo in Resident Evil: Apocalypse in the hands of Angus Mackenzie.

Trivia

 * In Resident Evil 3, the Magnum seems to act like a shotgun with perfect accuracy, because multiple tracers can be seen when shooting this weapon.
