OBOW: Magnum - .500 Magnum 5-round script

OBOW: Pronounced "oboe" (yes, like the instrument), it stands for "Overseer's Balance Overhaul for Weapons".

This is a script that changes the Desert Eagle into a powerful 5-shot revolver. This is ideally used alongside one of the .500 Magnum revolver replacers on the Workshop, or something similar. It's very powerful, accurate, can pierce enough Commons like a hot knife through butter, is capable of powerful single target elimination, but is fairly slow, and doesn't shoot quite as quickly as my 6-round revolver script [], but it's fast enough not to be too tedious. Basically, this thing is the closest you'll get to an Arctic Warfare in your secondary slot. My mod's Arctic Warfare [] will still do this job better, but now you can have a similar weapon without sacrificing your primary.

This may sound overpowered, but it really isn't. It'll kill a Charger in two shots, a Jockey in two, and a Hunter in one, but it shoots fairly slowly and must obviously reload more frequently. And even though you can pierce a long line of enemies, that's only in a straight line. You'll still have plenty of Commons to deal with, and this script won't take away the challenge. Also, it's not overpowered against Specials and Bosses either, since it shoots slow enough that its damage per second isn't ridiculously high.

For example, telling me "lol this mod sux" is extremely unhelpful/unintelligent and wastes space, and thus, will be deleted. Same goes for rudeness. You don't have to be a grammar nazi for spelling, or a flower girl for kindness, just make sure your comment is understandable and civil. Also, don't ask questions or report issues that are already answered/addressed in the description.

A note on the preview screenshot:
Disclaimer: I got it randomly off the internet. I am not its author, and I don't claim to own it. If need be, I'll replace it with something generic from Wikipedia or something. It is not my intention to steal anything. I've seen other Workshop mods (and in the Left 4 Dead 2 Workshop, specifically) that use copyright images, but I don't believe in the philosophy of "It's okay because everyone does it". Thus, I made this disclaimer.
