===Advantages===
The Gunfighter Magnum has the fastest rate of fire out of the semi-automic magnums, having an approximate fire-rate of 5 rounds/second, compared to the 4 rounds/sec of the standard M6H2.{{Ref/Reuse|GM2}}
Alongside having the fastest fire-rate, it also has the fastest reload speed and best handling, having a reload time of ~1 second and a handling of 0.10 seconds, allowing it to be drawn, holstered and fired almost instantly.{{Ref/Reuse|GM2}}

===Disadvantages===
Despite having the fastest fire rate and the best handling, the Gunfighter Magnum also comes with some cons. Its [[Red reticle range]] is really low, at just 23.13 meters when firing from the hip and 27.62 meters when aiming down sights and having a zoom level of 1.2x.{{Ref/Reuse|GM2}}

==Variants==
*'''Buck's Magnum''':
The sidearm of [[Spartan-IV]] [[Edward Buck]]. His magnum has the same removed parts as the Gunfighter Magnum and a nickel plated slide similar to the Whispered Truth's slide.{{Ref/Game|Id=H5Buck|H5G|Buck's Magnum|Model used In a cutscene}}
*'''[[Whispered Truth]]''':
The Whispered Truth is a magnum machine pistol that fires in burst. It boasts the same stripped parts as the Gunfighter Magnum, but is modified with a custom nickel plated slide and a [[Suppressor]].{{Ref/Game|Id=WTH5|H5G|Whispered Truth|Model in-game}}

==Trivia==
The Gunfighter Magnum's design and gameplay attributes are most likely based on [[Wikipedia: Racegun|Race guns]]. These types of firearms have modified parts ranging from compensators, skeletonized triggers, magwells for easier introducing of a fresh magazine and/or optical sights.
