Unlocked after beating the Mercenaries minigame with all unlocked characters on all 4 levels with 5 stars on every level.  While it is, to be blunt, an astoundingly powerful weapon (even unupgraded), it has the annoying disadvantage of requiring .50 caliber ammo, which never appears within the main game - this means you must find it via enemy drops, or Random Item barrels.  Of course, after upgrading it all the way to Exclusive, this weapon gains the advantage of unlimited ammo...

Named after another then-forthcoming [[Capcom]] title, the [[Killer7]] is probably more suited to gamers who prefer speed over firepower (chances are that these are the same gamers who chose the Blacktail over the Red9). With a detachable magazine, the poor reload speeds of the Broken Butterfly are done away with - but firepower is compromised.

Unlike most of the weapons in Resident Evil 4, the Killer7 has no 'exclusive' upgrade available.

====Handcannon====
Using the super-rare .50 Action Express ammunition, the Handcannon will kill almost anything it hits with a single hit. To unlock it, you must get 5-star rankings on all four maps in The Mercenaries with all five characters. Quite a feat, to be sure!
Only once upgraded does the Handcannon really come into use - its exclusive upgrade allowing the player infinite ammo. Enjoy!
