Python

The Python is a revolver scheduled to appear in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It appears to be the Token Magnum pistol.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
The Python was seen at an E3 stage demo, paired with a Flashlight. In the demo, it is held similar to how characters would hold a Tactical Knife in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Players will use the Magnum-Flashlight combo while clearing underground tunnels during the level "Victor Charlie". It could also be noted that the sound of the reload was similar, if not the same, as the .357 Magnum from Call of Duty: World at War, although it may be a place-holder.

In the Gun Game mode, this gun is Weapon Tier One, which means that it is the first gun players use in the match.

Trivia

 * This gun was known as the .357 Magnum during the Call of Duty: Black Ops E3 2010 trailers expo.
 * According to the E3 Demo, the Python is capable of decapitating and/or gibbing enemies. When Mason shoots the Viet Cong soldier after exiting the caves, his head seems to explode.
 * In the E3 demo, the player is capable of reloading the Python using one hand (the other holding the flashlight) at a similar speed to a user with two hands.
 * The Python and the Webley are the only revolver handguns that are used in Call of Duty series campaign. The .44 Magnum and the .357 Magnum are only used in the bonus level "Museum", and bonus mode Nazi Zombies respectively.
 * The Python may be the only pistol to accept an optic in the entire Call of Duty series.
