Stealth Pistol

The stealth pistol is a silenced 10mm handgun. It has a large magazine, but does less damage than the regular 10mm pistol.

The player is given a stealth pistol by Sam Carter after completing the first mission. MiBs may use the stealth pistol, though this is rare. It can be found in the Cathedral in a room near the top of the building.

Tactics
Contrary to common sense, the Stealth Pistol is a good weapon except in the role it was designed for: assassination. The damage is so small that you need to be a Master in Pistols to headshot a normal grunt. Hovewer the magazine size is decent and the fire rate is second only to the assault rifle. In fact, the Stealth Pistol dramatically outperforms the assault rifle in terms of damage per second because of the latter's very low damage per bullet - the only weapon which outperforms the stealth pistol in damage output is the Plasma Rifle.

As such the stealth pistol, especially modded, can be effectively used as your primary weapon for most of the game. Hovewer keep in mind that it relies on firing a lot of bullets for damage, so if you didn't invest in your Pistol weapons skill you might quickly find yourself short on ammo, especially later in the game.

In-game Description
The stealth pistol is a variant of the standard 10mm pistol with a larger clip and an integrated silencer designed for wet work at very close ranges.

Shifter
Shifter introduces a one of a kind stealth pistol called the Lo Bruto which does more damage than the stealth pistol and a normal pistol. It is dropped by Jojo Fine in the 'Ton Hotel.

Behind the scenes
The stealth pistol is heavily based on the fictionnal Seburo CX "Compact eXploder" that appears in Ghost in the shell and Appleseed that are works of manga artist Masamune Shirow.
