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.

In the first Multiplayer trailer, the Python appeared with an attachment called Snub Nose. What the attachment does to the gun's stats is currently unknown.

Attachments

 * Snub Nose
 * Flashlight

Trivia

 * 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.
