Max's Gun
Max owns a pistol (a Luger, to be exact) which he seems to carry around everywhere he goes. It is seen in the comics and the Telltale Episodes. It was absent in Sam & Max Hit the Road.
Despite having no obvious pockets or holsters on his person, Max can still produce his gun from seemingly nowhere when the situation calls for it. When asked about where he actually keeps the gun when he is not using or holding it, he always answers: "None of your damn business".
Max's gun is based on the Luger P08 pistol. The Luger is a very accurate pistol and the first to use 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition. It was mostly used by officers in the German Army during both World Wars, which made it a sought-after souvenir amongst Allied soldiers.
In the Telltale episodes Max is very trigger-happy with this gun and, unlike Sam, will shoot almost anything. He even shot Sam without hesitation in Situation: Comedy. In The City That Dares Not Sleep, Sam says he believes Max secretes pistols when needed when clicking on the gun in Max's "storage room". This episode is also the one that confirms the gun's identity as a Luger.
[edit] Notes
- Between April 15th, 2010 and April 25, 2010, uses who bought Sam and Max: The Devil's Playhouse through Steam also received three Sam and Max items in Team Fortress 2. This offer was later extended to users who preordered the game from Telltale Games. Max's gun in Team Fortress 2 is referred to as the Lugermorph, a new skin for the pistol. The name "Lugermorph" is a portmanteau of the words "Luger", the pistol that this pistol was based on, and "Lagomorpha", the taxonomic order of which rabbits are a part; this refers to Max's claim that he is a lagomorph.
- Later, players could win the Lugermorph through Poker Night at the Inventory
