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 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.

-As a high-caliber handgun cartridge, the '''.44 AMP''' has indeed very similar performance to its ballistic cousin, the [[.44 Magnum]], being only slightly less powerful.
+* Available for purchase in a [[gun shop]] or a [[weapon shop]], in boxes of '''20''' or '''50''' rounds
-Just like its revolver-intended cousin, the '''.44 AMP''''s performance is, against unarmored or lightly-armored targets, quite impressive, as two or three shots are enough to take down such targets. However, as soon as it faces better protected [[Encounters|enemies]], the caliber's performance drops quickly. As such, '''.44 AMP''' can be considered a good finisher, or a reliable backup caliber.
+* Costs '''140 P$''' for '''20''' rounds, and '''350 P$''' for '''50''' rounds
+* Value of a single round is '''7 P$'''
-Being a caliber exclusive to one weapon only, '''.44 AMP''' rounds are understandably rare and slightly more expensive than [[.44 Magnum]] rounds. When bought, [[Gun shop|gun shops]] and [[Weapon shop|weapon shops]] sell .44 AMP in boxes of 20 or 50 rounds, for a price of '''7 P$''' per round; which is high but adequate to both its rarity and performance.
