Python - Black Ops Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: http://facebook.com/XboxAhoy Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy In this episode we're covering the Python. It's a revolver, unlocked at level 18. The Colt Python is an American weapon, manufactured by the famed Colt Manufacturing Company and named for a family of nonvenomous snakes. It was introduced in 1955, and was produced until quite recently, until 1996. Originally intended to be a large-frame target revolver chambered for .38 Special, the Python would ultimately fire the more powerful .357 Magnum round - but retained its target handgun features. With precision adjustable sights, smooth trigger, ventilated top rib and solid underlug, the Python is a finely constructed revolver manufactured to a tight tolerance. The snake theme persists throughout Colt's range, with the larger .44 Magnum Anaconda, and .22 Long Rifle Diamondback sharing a similar design to the Python, in a different chambering. The Python saw some adoption by law enforcement in the US, but in recent years revolvers have fallen out of favour, with semi-automatic weapons taking their place. The Python, however, remains a desirable handgun - with attractive aesthetics and its powerful magnum round making for an impressive weapon with a formidable reputation. The Colt Python fires the .357 Magnum cartridge - a large-load revolver cartridge known for its keen stopping power. As a revolver, the Python's capacity is limited - with its cylinder holding just 6 rounds. You trade capacity for damage, however - as the Python's damage per shot is unequalled within the handgun category. You'll kill in two shots up close, and four at a distance - one shot fewer than any of the semi-automatic pistols. Rate of fire is as fast as you can pull the trigger, but is capped to a fairly generous 625 rounds per minute. Given the low capacity, it's probably wise to pace your shots to ensure accuracy. Recoil is moderate - higher than the other weapons in the Pyth
