Pistol (DX)

"A standard 10mm pistol."

- Description in Deus Ex The pistol is a pistol skill weapon in Deus Ex. The pistol is part of the player's initial inventory at the start of the game.

Characteristics
The pistol has a relatively high base damage of 14, sufficient to kill any common trooper in a single headshot at any skill level, and MJ12 Commandos in two headshots at higher skill levels. Limitations of the pistol include its low rate of fire and small magazine size.

The pistol cannot be silenced. The stealth pistol provides an alternative that is silenced. Compared to the stealth pistol, the regular pistol has a much higher base damage but a lower rate of fire. The higher base damage is useful for headshots at lower skill levels. On the master level, however, both the pistol and stealth pistol take down common troopers and MJ12 commandos in the same number of headshots.

Accuracy is generally important for headshots. The laser modification can be installed for perfect accuracy. Alternatively, 100% accuracy can be obtained at master skill level, in combination with 3 accuracy modifications.

The pistol is compatible with the scope modification, which can be used to transform the pistol into a formidable sniper-style weapon, especially when scope sway is reduced by skill level and accuracy modifications. However, installing the scope will negate the accuracy benefits of the laser modification and will also prevent the weapon from having perfect accuracy when firing outside of scope mode, even if 100% accuracy has been attained.
