- "Double-action revolver pistol. Fires 28 gauge shotgun shells."
- — Description.
The Executioner (formerly known as the Raging Judge) 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. This gives the Executioner much more damage than other handguns but inherently much less range.
Campaign
It can be unlocked in the custom class menu after the player completes 5 challenges in the mission "Celerium". If the player chooses to try and shoot Menendez in "Achilles' Veil", Menendez will grab Farid's arm before the latter fires and then he will bring out his Executioner and shoot Farid. He will then lecture Farid on his loyalty and superiors before firing again, killing him. In "Odysseus", Menendez will hold Briggs hostage with the Executioner then the player can wound or kill Briggs with the Executioner.
Multiplayer
The Executioner is featured in the multiplayer of Black Ops II, where it is the fourth Handgun unlocked at level 31. It sports high damage and very low range as well as a poor accuracy. Because of this it's not a popular choice among players; being at point blank range with the enemy is essential to do well with it. This weapon reloads one chamber at a time, much like the Python in the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, and takes a while to reload when fully empty. This makes the Fast Mag attachment valuable because it will then use a speed loader to reload all shells simultaneously. The Long Barrel attachment is also recommended, as it extends the weapon's short range. Conversely, the Suppressor is not recommended, because it will reduce the weapons range even further. Dual Wield is a decent attachment, as it gives the player the benefit of Fast Mag and a second weapon, at the cost of a much larger hipfire spread and the disability to aim down sights. Except for movement while equipped, the Executioner is much like the S12 in damage.
In Hardcore Mode, the Executioner is typically a three-hit kill at its maximum range, even with Long Barrel. Because of its poor range and damage, it is best passed over for other weapons.
The Executioner is the third weapon tier on Gun Game, where it is equipped with the Laser attachment.

Zombies
The Executioner is available from the mystery box for 950 points. 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 from close range. The only downsides to having the Executioner in the player's inventory is that it has a very long reload time and it's small magazine size, which may be countered with Speed Cola. 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. Compared to its counterpart revolver, the Python , this gun has more power but a smaller number of rounds in its cylinder and a longer reload.A way to maximize damage with the executioner is Double Tap 2.0 doubling the maximimum damage that can be caused from a single clip/magazine.
