Overview
Anaconda is a large frame double-action revolver featuring a full length under-barrel ejection-rod lug and six round cylinder, designed and produced by the Colt's Manufacturing Company.

Variants
Trivia
- In real life, Anaconda have three variants with different barrel lengths. CrossFire's Anaconda uses the longest barrel variant which is 8 inches (203mm).
- It's illogical for the other variants of Anaconda which has more ammo than the original variant but still uses a 6-shot cylinder, notably this can be seen in first person when reloading. This is because their texture (including the cylinder) is a reskin of the original 6-shot Anaconda variant.
- In CrossFire Vietnam, this gun has some interesting facts that differs from other CF versions:
- Its firing sound is different than the other versions. It's probably the earlier version of this weapon's firing sound.
- Its drawing and reloading sounds doesn't sync with the animation.
- Also, its firing noise is slightly louder than other versions.
- In reality, the Desert Eagle can be reloaded faster than the Anaconda, due to it using magazines. And the Desert Eagle should be more powerful due to its .50AE cartridges, while the Anaconda uses weaker .44 Magnum rounds. However, this could be for balancing.
- In real life, the Colt Anaconda is basically an enlarged version of the Colt Python. The Anaconda's larger size is needed for its bigger .44 Magnum cartridges, over the Python's smaller .357 Magnum.
- Interestingly enough, Colt Anaconda was added during early years of the game, marks the first revolver added into the game, while the Colt Python was added years after.
