Short Pistol

The Short Pistol is a single-shot, close-range secondary weapon. It is a very small, muzzle-loading flintlock pistol with a miniature steel barrel and wooden grip, apparently modeled on a Toby Pistol or Muff Pistol personal defense weapon.

Short Pistol is capable of aiming down the sights (by pressing M2) before firing to make aiming more easy. Short Pistol has infinite ammunition, takes 6 seconds to reload, and will kill enemies in two shots to the body at medium range, one shot to the body at close range (five feet), or in one headshot at any range. Short Pistol has the shortest reload time in the secondary slot.

In appearance and function, it bears similarities to the Standard Pistol, essentially being a smaller version. The main differences are Short Pistol's inferior range, damage and accuracy, but slightly superior reload time.

Short Pistol's ideal situation is fighting constant streams of non-clustered enemies in close quarters when you do not want to spend time reloading a longer-range weapon; for example, in tunnels in the Fortress as a defender. To achieve the full potential of this weapon, you need to land headshots or get very close to your target.
