MP-412



The MP-412 REX is a .357 magnum Russian double action revolver designed by Izhevsk Mechanical Plant in the late 1990s. It was designed for export (REX: Revolver for EXport), but never put into full production due to lack of a market.

Battlefield: Bad Company
The MP412 is a weapon featured in Battlefield: Bad Company.

Singleplayer
The MP412 can be alongside of Middle Eastern Coalition sniper rifles, specifically with the GOL. It is very effective, and kills enemies in two shots.

Multiplayer
The MP412 is the companion sidearm for the Middle Eastern Coalition Recon kit. It has a capacity of 6 rounds, balanced out by high power, requiring 3 body shots to kill. Because its rate of fire is identical to that of the other pistols, the MP412 can kill significantly faster than the M9 or MP443, making it arguably the best handgun in the game. The GOL is always accompanied by the MP412.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
"A 6 round revolver revered for its close range edge and notable Magnum firepower. Its top break design is a throw back to old 6-shooters of the "Wild West"."

- In-game description

The MP-412 REX is an all-kit weapon featured in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and is unlocked at level 12. It has a 6 round capacity and has the least spread and second highest damage out of any hand-held weapon in the game (second only to the sniper rifles), but is balanced by its low rate of fire, small magazine size, long reload time, and heavy recoil.

At close range, the MP-412 REX, with Magnum Ammunition equipped, is capable of a two-shot kill with body shots, as well as a one-shot kill by a headshot.

Battlefield Play4Free
The MP-412 Rex is a weapon featured in ''Battlefield Play4Free and can be purchased in the game store. t has a low rate of fire and high kick, but the firecap is low enough that the kick is negligible.

It does the highest damage per shot out of any gun in the game, only excluding bolt-action snipers, killing in three shots at close range. However the gun's low rate of fire and high kick make it hard to use at long range, when multiple shots are needed to kill an enemy.

The weapon comes at a high cost of up to 3749 for unlimited use, but a one day trial of this gun is available for every player.

Battlefield 3
"Developed for export in Russia (REX stands for Revolver for Export), the MP412 is a compact .357 Magnum handgun with an interesting tilt open and auto extraction design. While not as powerful as the .44 Magnum, the .357 Magnum round from the MP412 offers excellent stopping power and the compact package offers a slightly higher rate of accurate fire."

Trivia

 * The Battlefield 3 rendition of MP-412 has a significantly shorter barrel than in Battlefield:Bad Company 2 and Battlefield Play4Free, and more resembles its appearance in Battlefield: Bad Company.
 * The Battlefield 3 variant of the MP-412 features a reloading animation that is different from its previous iterations where upon opening the revolver, the spent casings are automatically ejected, not manually poured out. This accurately demonstrates the automatic ejector in the gun.

 * In Battlefield 3, the MP-412 mastery dogtag is glitched and instead shows the kill count of the MP-443.
 * In Battlefield 3, the MP-412's chamber will sometimes disappear during the reload animation.
 * The MP-412 is the only sidearm available to the player in the Battlefield 4 campaign, much like the MP-443 in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
