The '''Duke MK.44''' is a Hand Cannon in ''[[Destiny]]''. It has a slightly slow rate of fire and a high recoil, but its shots are very powerful. Each single cylindrical magazine has seven rounds.<!--what the hell do you call a cylindrical ammo container in a gun shaped like a revolver? And no, I don't mean the chamber.--> There seems to be no [[Reticule Bloom|bloom]].<ref name="E3 2013 Demo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXTXPe7JIUk E3 2013 Destiny Gameplay Demo]</ref>
The '''Duke MK.44''' is a standard-issue revolver [[hand cannon]]<ref name = "DrawingBoard">[http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=11068 '''Bungie.net''': ''Destiny Drawing Board: Duke MK.44'']</ref> manufactured by the [[City]]'s [[Sector 08 Armory]].<ref>[http://www.destinypedia.com/images/archive/a/a2/20130829193829!Duke_Mk44.jpg '''Image of label on the Duke MK.44''']</ref>. Its brothers are the [[Duke MK. 10]] and the [[Duke MK. 21]]The weapon is most commonly associated with newer Guardians who equipped with a sidearm.<ref name = "DrawingBoard"/>The favorite weapon of those who have to make their first steps outside the City walls. This popular hand cannon model is the reference to the old day gone by. The dangers of the frontier are many, but with the speed of extraction, the holographic viewfinder and the ultra sensitive trigger of the Duke MK.44 no enemy will be spared.
 
While the Duke has a low rate of fire and a high recoil, it produces a high amount of damage with each round and is not affected by reticule bloom.<ref name="E3 2013 Demo">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXTXPe7JIUk '''YouTube''': ''E3 2013 Destiny Gameplay Demo'']</ref> It has a built in "quick draw holo sight", as well as a "[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hair-trigger hair trigger]".<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=11068 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie News'']</ref>
