 * Always try to get headshots when using this weapon, as it only takes 2 headshots to kill an enemy.
 * Make your shots count since it has a low ammo capacity
 * Try to engage enemies in close range since the weapons damage gets lower in ranged combat
 * This weapon is a good counterpart to long ranged weapons such as the Battle Rifle and M1 Garand since you can use those weapons at range and you can use the .44 Magnum in hand-to-hand combat
