Moonducks info is accurate and the Magnum designation came from a variety of incedents that were related to giving a name that created the image of a greater amount( in this case a greater a greater amount of power. The name originates ( you laugh about this but it is true) from the French term Magnum from a Magnum of Champagne which was a larger bottle than a whine bottle. Don't that beat all.
