magnum = win

I posted the link in another thread but, if you go to steam, L4D2, Forums, top section, you will find data for all weapons, Damage Per Second etc.
Unfortunately, the mag provides significantly less DPS than 2 pistols with one exception, when you are down. Personally, I like the mag for that reason but carry duals when I can. Why? it doesn't matter what I would like to think, it is what it is and it is posted @ steam................

Dps isnt everything, a gauranteed 1 shot kill is worth more than any DPS as far as im concerned.

I prefer dualies to magnum in most cases. Magnum's awesome when you're down, but otherwise I think dualies are more effective since my aim is somewhat lacking. Maybe if I could consistently get headshots on all the little bitty CIs...

And the best melee weapon is the guitar. Nothing is more fun than beating the shit out of zombies with a guitar. My team actually killed a tank in DR5 the other night using nothing but guitars and adrenaline.

Plus guitars make that funny "SPWANNGGG" noise when you hit shit with em.

I can't aim for shit in this game either. I never had a problem picking off hunters with headshots from dualies/assault rifles in L4D1.. in L4D2 I can't hit the broad side of a barn, so my firing method has become more "Spray 'n' Pray" than "Aim 'n' Shoot".. so the magnum (Desert Eagle) is nigh-on useless to me.
