Gorgon Pistol
The Gorgon Burst Pistol is a double-barreled semiautomatic pistol capable of burst fire and boasting phenomenal close-range punch. It features dual magazines and a hydraulic burst limiter system designed to prevent the weapon from jamming due to its high rate of fire; with one burst, the Gorgon spits out 8 rounds in under a half-second. Designed primarily for close-combat situations, the Gorgon maintains its lethality even out to medium ranges and is extremely deadly in capable hands; 2 to 4 bursts can bring down a target at any range, with only 1-2 needed at close-range if an Active Reload is achieved. The availability of Meat Shields makes the Gorgon highly desirable as a backup and hold-out weapon, and much like its counterpart, the Boltok, it becomes a force to be reckoned with alongside a Boom Shield – especially if the firer takes advantage of the terrain (the Gorgon, used with a Boomshield, is one of the nastiest combinations around for confrontations in areas with little room to manouver – such as on stair cases and in narrow hallways). While nominally used as part of its loading mechanism, the hydraulic spike on the Gorgon is usable for other, less savory purposes; the Gorgon’s execution animation causes the user to unceremoniously stab a downed enemy in the back.
