| | | 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> |
