- description of Pistol

The Mako Ballistics 9mm Pistol is a weapon in Deus Ex: Invisible War.

Background
Developed by Mako Ballistics, it's a semi-automatic weapon that fires 9mm rounds and uses universal ammo. It also comes with a flashlight that does not consume bioenergy. The Mako Ballistics 9mm Pistol seems to be the standard issue weapon for SSC, primarily in low-risk areas like Upper Seattle. They also appear to be popular with low-level criminals, such as the thugs in Lower Seattle.

Characteristics
The pistol is accurate but does relatively little damage per shot, although it can put out a fair rate of fire. It is not a good weapon for general combat against anything stronger than basic human enemies, and combat-oriented players are well advised to pick up something more appropriate like the SMG or Shotgun.

The pistol does offer superior headshot damage, making it a better weapon for headhunter players with good aim. The boltcaster will appeal to pacifist players, and long distance kills are best left to the sniper rifle, but a pistol modded with a silencer can do well for players who engage in wetwork up close.

Unique variants

 * Red Greasel Hunter
 * Assassin Pistol

Behind the scenes
