Python
The Python is an American six-round revolver featured in every Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II Nazi Zombies map bar Dead Ops Arcade and Buried. It can only be obtained from the Mystery Box.
The Python is a one-hit kill before round 10, after which, its high effectiveness becomes more limited, ceasing to dispatch an enemy even with a headshot after round 13. However, being a handgun, the Python boast very speedy handling characteristics, including swap time, aim time, movement speed, and fire rate. Coupled with extremely high damage per round, these traits make the Python very user friendly and effective at nearly any round. Unfortunately, the Python reloads each round individually, making tactical reloads highly recommended. Overall, the Python makes for a worthy sidearm whose low capacity and moderate reload time can be overlooked.
When Pack-a-Punched, the Python becomes the "Cobra". It's cylinder capacity is doubled and it gains a speed reloader. Though it receives no damage increase, the Cobra's range penalty is reduced, allowing users to deal a greater portion of their base damage at range. The healthy cylinder capacity and speed loader also allow more liberal fire and sustained use.
