Pistol (DX)

The 10mm pistol is a weapon in Deus Ex.

Background
It's a powerful sidearm used by paramilitary forces all over the world in 2052. It appears to be a semi automatic with a single-stack magazine which uses the 10 mm auto cartridge.

Characteristics
The 10mm pistol is an average weapon if unmodified. Its accuracy makes it difficult to aim past short range (if you haven't upgraded your Pistol skills to Advanced), its small magazine makes it difficult to kill multiple opponents before having to reload and its recoil makes it difficult to fire follow-up shots will good accuracy. A vanilla 10mm pistol will serve its purpose as a sidearm, but is inefficient as a primary weapon.

If pistol is upgraded, it can be extremely deadly. Accuracy upgrades will make the it almost as accurate as a sniper rifle, clip mods can give it a max of 11 rounds per magazine, recoil reducers can make it easy to fire quick follow-up shots, and a scope can turn it into a deadly long-range weapon. An upgraded pistol's only downfall is that 10mm ammo becomes rare near the end of the game. Regardless, it can be extremely powerful as a primary or secondary weapon.

By the time the player reaches Lebedev's jet, NSF troops will be using sawed-off shotguns and assault rifles instead of the pistol and the weapon becomes more rare over the levels, but still findable.
