MP-412

The MP412 REX is a Russian double action .357 magnum revolver with a break-open frame and an automatic ejector. It was designed for export (REX, Revolver for EXport), but never put into full production due to lack of a market. The weapon was designed by Izhmash, the state-owned Russian Izhevsk Mechanical Works which also designed and produced the legendary AK-47.

Battlefield: Bad Company
The MP412 appears in Battlefield: Bad Company as the companion sidearm for the Middle Eastern Coalition Recon class. It is much different than it's American and Russian counterparts as it is the only revolver in the game. The revolver appears alongside the GOL.

It has a capacity of 6 rounds, balanced out by high power, requiring 2-3 body shots to kill.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The MP412 REX appears in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The MP412 REX is unlocked at level 12 and can be used by any class as the sidearm. It has a 6 round capacity and has the highest accuracy and damage out of any handgun (2 rounds at close range with magnum ammo, and 3 at longer ranges depending on specializations used to drop an opponent) in the game but is balanced by its low rate of fire, small magazine size, long reload time, and heavy recoil. The MP412 REX is best used at medium range. While being very accurate, the high recoil and the slow rate of fire make it hard to hit a target multiple times at long ranges.

The revolver is a favorable sidearm for any player whose primary weapon lacks longer range capacity such as the UZI or a shotgun with standard buckshot ammunition. It is also a good sidearm for snipers that primarily engage at long ranges and have a bolt-action rifle with a 12X Zoom Scope equipped. In such a case, it is useful in killing enemies that try to close in on said sniper before they get within close range.

However, using the MP412 Rex in CQB situations is difficult since every single bullet counts with the low rate of fire and a single missed shot can potentially lead to death of the player.

The MP412 Rex is capable of a one shot kill only by a headshot at close range, with Magnum Ammo equipped.
