Pistol

The Pistol is a starting weapon that can be used to scope opposing players out or as an assault weapon. It can be good as a secondary to a sniper but not recommended as a primary (unless it is the only weapon enabled). If the map supports weapon spawns, it may be obtained this way.

Map Making Mode
The pistol behaves the same way in Map Making Mode as it does in normal gameplay. The only difference is that it, like all weapons in Map Making Mode, will never need to be reloaded.

Strategies

 * The pistol is capable of killing an opponent in 3 headshots.
 * The pistol fires more quickly than the Battle Rifle, but is less forgiving of missed shots.

Trivia

 * The Pistol is heavily based off the Pistol from Halo: Combat Evolved. Like the Halo pistol, the Murder Miners pistol features a scope and is capable of killing an opponent in 3 headshots.
