Executioner

"Double-action revolver pistol. Fires 28 gauge shotgun shells."

- Description.

The Executioner is a revolver that appears in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It is unique in that it fires shotgun shells as opposed to regular bullets. Using a Fast Mag, its reload is relatively quick thanks to the use of a speed loader in the reload. Much like shotguns in previous titles, the pellets in the shotgun shells do not have infinite range thus damage will drop off to zero.

Zombies
The Executioner appears in Zombies. When Pack-a-Punched it becomes the Voice of Justice. It still takes a while to reload, but it gets more reserve ammo, range and the ability to get a one shot kill up to round 35. The main and maybe only downside to having the Executioner in your inventory is its very long reload speed. This can be detrimental to a player's life if they are swarmed during a reload. However, the user can always load in a few shells and then shoot them or switch to a secondary weapon.

Trivia

 * Originally, the Executioner had a longer barrel by default and the word 'Executioner' was visible along the side of the longer barrel.
 * The Executioner is the first pistol/non-shotgun to fire shotgun shells in the Call of Duty series.
 * It is the first revolver in the Call of Duty series to feature the Silencer and the Reflex Sight as attachment options.
 * If using the fast mag attachment and perk in the campaign, the reload becomes insanely fast, similar to the ASP with Sleight of Hand in Black Ops.
 * It is the only weapon in the game which, when attached with a Long Barrel, will actually visibly gain a longer barrel.
 * It was originally known as the Raging Judge. This can be seen in the Multiplayer Reveal trailer. The name was probably changed due to liscensing issues with Brazilian arms manufacturerer Tarus
