Template:Targeted Template:Weapon infobox

This might look like an ordinary revolver, until you realize that it helps a talking dog solve crimes. How many crimes has YOUR dog solved lately? And let's face it, his revolver kind of sucks too. Man, we want to talk about this gun more, but we can't get over how much your dog sucks.
— Official Description

The Big Kill is a primary weapon for the Spy. It is a promotional weapon based on the oversized .44 Revolver used by Sam, the titular six-foot talking dog detective in Sam & Max. The Big Kill could be acquired by pre-ordering Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse or buying the game up to a week after release.

The weapon is a straight replacement for the standard Revolver, bearing no unique gameplay features of its own. Therefore, the Big Kill is fairly accurate and deals moderate damage with some damage falloff with distance. Its primary purpose is to fend off enemies at range, or as a fallback weapon after an unsuccessful backstab attempt.
