With an AP:4(single)/5(aimed) it is possible to design a character capable of shooting six regular or 3 aimed shots a round to deadly effect. The only drawback of this weapon is the scarcity of 2mm EC ammo and, being a pistol, its small magazine size (although it is tied for the second largest magazine in the pistol class). |
