The '''.44 AMP''' (also known more rarely as '''.44 Auto Mag''') is a high-caliber handgun cartridge developed in 1971. It is considered a medium-tier caliber.
-
-	~~=== Real-life data ===~~
-	The '''.44 AMP''' cartridge was intended to be a cartridge with the same power and reliability of the popular and renowned [[.44 Magnum]] caliber, to semi-automatic pistols. The project, born in 1971, was intended for use in the ill-fated [[AMC Auto Mag\|Auto Mag]] pistol.
-
-	The factory producing the Auto Mag pistols and the .44 AMP cartridges, based in Pasadena, CA, opened in 1970, the first Auto Mag pistol was shipped in 1971, but unfortunately, due to financial and technical problems, and a general wish to rush the weapons out of the door as soon as possible, the Auto Mag and the .44 AMP cartridges became more expensive to produce as time passed, until the factory declared bankruptcy in 1972, after less than 3000 pistols were produced.
-
-	~~To this day, .44 AMP cartridges are still produced by Cor-Bon.~~
