- “The latest version of the game, which the CCPD use, takes a .50 caliber round, which is strong enough to stop a charging bull. Some of the hunters and most of the Cerberus are armed with these powerful weapons. The Avenger is almost as dangerous as the people holding them.”
The "Avenger Force .50 AE" Heavy Handgun [1] is a blue class weapon in Manhunt and Manhunt 2.
Description[]
The Heavy Handgun's performance is similar to the Light Handgun, but being more powerful (nearly as strong as the Shotgun) as well as much more accurate and having a bigger range.
It is used by the Cerberus, CCPD, SWAT, The Bloodhounds, Project Militia and The Legion.
Influence[]
The Avenger Force .50 AE Heavy Handgun is based on the IMI Desert Eagle Mk XIX, chambered in .50AE caliber, with slighty modifications to the model.

Manhunt 2[]
Shares animations with the Light Handgun with no differences whatsoever.
| Type | Execution | Description |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hasty | The player hits the target's flank, causing them to look at their attacker. The player pistol-whips them across their face, knocking them down. The player then holds his gun to the downed target's face, firing a round that destroys their skull. |   
| |
| Violent | Same animation with the Revolver's Gruesome execution, in which the player pistol-whips the target's occiput, knocking them down. The player sticks his gun up their mouth and forces them to stand up with their hands raised. Ignoring their intent to surrender, the player pulls the trigger, destroying their skull. | 
| |
| Gruesome | The player grabs the target from behind and points the gun at their head. The whimpering target raises their hands up as the player lets go of them before shooting their head anyway, destroying their skull. |

Trivia[]

- The Heavy Handgun was featured on Safe House on the PS2 Beta, it had the same role as the Revolver on the final game but it ended up being cut.
