Basic information

This is a very good craftable pistol. It has high damage combined with use of the 14mm AP ammunition which makes it one of the best pistols versus all armors. It does have drawbacks in the range department, and has a 6 round magazine. Obtaining this weapon can be done either by crafting it, which is easy, or trading with merchants (It is sold at quite a low cost). Another way it can be obtained is by killing raiders in their encounter by Broken Hills.

Tactics

Any mid range gunslinger build will be happy wielding this as 6 shots can be fired in a single round which will damage all armors. at point blank range it is surpassed by an smg burst, so its optimum range is beetween 20 and 30 hexes vs heavily armored opponents. It is best used as a sidearm while hunting with an smg, in case of unexpected visitors.
