The Hurricane TMP-18, labeled in-game as Machine Pistol, is a weapon in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided.
Characteristics[]
The Hurricane TMP-18 machine pistol is an alternative to the Zenith 10mm pistol and generally fills the same roles in stealth and combat.
Compared to the 10mm pistol, the machine pistol has a lower damage per shot but offers a burst fire mode (which fires three rounds in rapid succession), as well as a larger magazine size. The unlockable full-auto mode enables the machine pistol to be fired even more rapidly. Ammunition use can be high, but this drawback is partially mitigated by the low purchase price of machine pistol ammunition, which is the cheapest of any ammunition in the game.
Similar to the 10mm pistol, the machine pistol is capable of accepting a silencer for stealth tactics. However, use of the silencer reduces the machine pistol's damage by 47%, which is unusually high compared to other weapons (for example, the 10mm pistol only loses 25% of its damage from the silencer).[1] Also similar to the 10mm pistol, the machine pistol is capable of firing EMP ammunition, which can be used to disable security cameras and other devices. Cameras disabled by EMP ammunition can be destroyed upon switching back to regular ammunition.
In general, the machine pistol is suitable for defeating unarmored opponents—two or three body-shot bursts are usually sufficient to defeat such opponents at close range. Additionally, many higher-tier targets, including certain types of Shadow Operatives, do not wear full helmets and armor, making them vulnerable to well-placed headshots. However, damage is very low against armored and robotic targets. For example, even a fully upgraded silenced machine pistol requires more than 20 rounds to destroy a turret at close range. Note that armor-piercing ammunition is not available for the machine pistol.[1]
Like other pistol-size weapons, the machine pistol loses damage significantly as the distance to the target increases. At close range, the machine pistol's damage per shot is greater than that of the standard FR-27 S.F.W. Combat Rifle (but less than that of the Elite Edition Combat Rifle).[1] At longer ranges, however, the standard combat rifle will match or surpass the machine pistol in damage per shot. The machine pistol's high damage drop off, as well as its inability to accommodate a scope, limits its usefulness to close range and mid-range combat.
