===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}}
