.357 Magnum

This Article deals with the ammo type .357 Magnum. For the weapon with the same name from Jagged Alliance see S&W Model 13.

Using a lengthened and strengthened version of the .38 Special case, the .357 Magnum was rapidly accepted by hunters and law enforcement. At the time of its introduction, it was claimed to easily pierce the body panels of automobiles and crack engine blocks.

In Jagged Alliance 1, in order to have a silencer attached, it needs to be modified with a chunk of steel. If not, only a sniper scope can be attached.
