.44 Auto Mag

The .44 Auto Mag round was invented in 1958. Following more than a decade of research and development, a pistol that chambered that .44 Auto Mag round was created, The Auto Mag Pistol. The Original Company (AMC) producing the firearm had severe financial issues regarding the pistol's over-engineered design causing them to actually lose a grand over every single one sold, leading to eventual bankruptcy after only 2 years of production. Following the Bankruptcy another Company (TDE) and American Cartridge Designer Lee Jurras acquired the company in 1974 and began another round of production. The Pistol however struggled to produce and the company changed logos and hands several times. All production however ended in 1982, since it has been reverse engineered several times and sold under several different names. The Version most commonly seen today is 8th Generation one produced by AMT.

In the Stick Hunger Games Series:

The .44 Auto Mag is one of many pistols in the series and one of four weapons labelled in the High-Powered Sidearms sub-category. It Fires .44 AMP rounds with a magazine capacity of 7 rounds. It has no attachments or finishes by default similar to that of many sidearms. It is arguably the most ignored of the 4 High-powered Sidearms and one of the most ignored of all secondary weapons as it's appearances are limited, to say the least often ignored in favor of the far more iconic Desert Eagle.
