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.
— Official Description

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

The weapon functions in exactly the same way as the standard Revolver. It could be acquired by pre-ordering Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse or buying the game up to a week after release.

Previous Changes

July 8, 2010 Patch

  • The kill icon for the weapon is changed from the Revolver to the current version.

Bugs

  • As with the Ambassador and L'Etranger, the Big Kill's cylinder does not rotate when it is fired, the bullets are not ejected upon reload, nor does the hammer move.
  • There are multiple clipping issues. The trigger guard clips through the Spy's hand, and the grip clips through both the hand and the sleeve. This is because the model itself is a good deal larger than the default Revolver.
  • The weapon is not actually reloaded per se. The cylinder is opened and then closed without the bullets being removed or replaced. Furthermore the Spy does not bring his other hand up to reload.

Trivia

  • The actual Big Kill was 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 Template:W. However, the gun was not directly referred to as "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 under the name.
  • Sam describes the Big Kill as "my second best and third most dangerous friend".
  • The weapon resembles a combination between a Template:W, a highly popular and well-recognized weapon by being the weapon of choice of Template:W, and a Template:W, an iconic weapon from Template:W films.
  • Although the Big Kill uses the Revolver's stats, the model itself is actually based on the animation skeleton of the Ambassador.
