The Aries 24-7 is a pistol in Hitman: Absolution.

Description

"The Aries 24-7 is an unremarkable combat pistol, easily controllable and with a good cyclic rate. It is upstaged by other, more specialized handguns, but remains a viable choice as a sidearm."

This weapon is based upon the real-world Taurus PT 24/7 which is manufactured by Taurus International Firearm Company of Brazil, and was primarily designed as a backup weapon for Law Enforcement officers, and to a limited degree as a weapon suited for the civilian concealed carry market.

The version in the game is based on the 4.25” standard model chambered for .45 ACP rounds, and has a 12 round magazine.

Customization

Aries 24-7 is dual-wieldable.

Trivia

• Pre-release, this gun was known as the "Mack 22" as it appeared in the Run For Your Life playthrough.
  • In the pre-release, the "Mack 22" had a scrapped animation where after 47 picked up the handgun, he was going to pull the hammer back after picking up. Whenever holstering the weapon, it'd make a click sound. All of this was scrapped for unknown reasons.
  • Also pre-release, in the Run For Your Life playthrough, ammunition for this gun was known as "AmmoGun bullets".
  • In the demo, the "Mack 22" used a completely different firing sound.
  • The model of the Aries was re-used in the 2015/2021 alpha build leaks of HITMAN™ and was originally going to be "rebranded"/retconned into the "JAGD P2O22".
• The weapon's name in the game and in real life are both references to Zodiac sign, Aries.
