Your Definition

A cartridge which is more powerfull than a normal round of the same caliber, or a gun made to fire such a round. As there is no precice [definition] of what is a magnum round and what is not, the name is up to the designer.

Magnums are most commonly used in revolvers, but are also used in semi-automatics and rifles.

Magnums, while powerful, will not "blow somebody's head off" or kill anybody with a [single shot]. As with all rounds, they will not kill except by central nervous system damage or by blood loss. While a magnum round will most likely cause more damage than a non-magnum the location the round strikes has more effect than [anything else], and even a round to the chest should not be assumed to be a automatic stop. Look at Richard Blackburn, who was shot five times in the chest with a .357 magnum, but survived and returned fire, killing a [South Carolina] state trooper, Mark Coates, with a .22LR handgun.

There are many magnum rounds, but some of the most popular include the .357 magnum and .44 magnum. Also worthy of note is the .460 Wetherby Magnum, a _very_ large, powerful rifle round for large game hunting.
