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.
Big Kill publicity blurb

The Big Kill is a promotional secondary weapon for the Spy. It is based on the oversized .44 revolver used by Sam, the titular six-foot talking cartoon dog detective in Sam & Max.

This weapon functions identically to the Revolver.

This item was awarded to players who purchased Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse on Steam or Telltale store before April 26, 2010.

The kill icon for the Big Kill was contributed by NeoDement.

Bugs

  • Like all of the Spy's secondary weapons except the Revolver and the Enforcer, the Spy does not actually put any bullets into the cylinder while reloading.

Trivia

  • The actual Big Kill is about twice as large in the original comic books, often with the barrel bending under its own weight.
  • The name "Big Kill" was first used in an early drawing by Sam & Max creator Steve Purcell. However, the gun was not directly referred to as the Big Kill within the series until over twenty years later in the third episode of The Devil's Playhouse, "They Stole Max's Brain!", where it is listed in the notebook.
  • Sam describes the Big Kill as "my second best and third most dangerous friend".
  • The weapon resembles a combination between a Smith & Wesson Model 29, a highly popular and well-recognized weapon by being the weapon of choice of "Dirty" Harry Callahan, and a Colt Peacemaker, an iconic weapon from Spaghetti Western films.
