Duke MK.44

"Slow to shoot but brutal upon impact."

- Weapon description

The Duke MK.44 is a standard-issue revolver manufactured by the City's Sector 08 Armory. The weapon is most commonly associated with newer Guardians who equip a sidearm in their primary loadout.

While the Duke has a low rate of fire and a high recoil, it produces a high amount of damage with each round and is not affected by reticule bloom. It has a built in "quick draw holo sight", as well as a "hair trigger".

Trivia

 * The Duke's design is reminiscent of the .44 Magnum Mega Class from Bungie's Marathon, though it lacks the Mega Class' scope.
 * The magazine size is a reference to Bungie's favorite number, seven.
