The scope has a 3x magnification, similar to the 3.4x scopes on primary weapons, but the scope takes up the entire screen, like Sniper Rifle scopes. Due to the loss of peripheral vision, it is advisable to fire from the hip while in close quarters and to only use the scope when fighting an enemy at larger distances. The .44 Magnum and Unica 6 arguably benefit more from the scope, due to their much higher bullet velocities and slower rates of fire making accurate shots over range easier to pull off compared to the M1911.
