This Article deals with the ammo type .357 Magnum. For the weapon with the same name from Jagged Alliance and Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games 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, those firearm rounds are simply called " .357 Ammo". 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.
