PISTOLS

This is the skill and use of one-handed, simple mechanical weapons, which fire a 'round' at the target. A Specific skill must be taken for each model type (e.g. Colt Navy, Colt Army, Smith & Wesson service revolver etc.). There are different categories for pistols, dependent upon Tech-level and time period: Single-action revolvers; Double-action revolvers; Semi-automatic pistols; Automatic pistols.

Machine pistols are covered under Machine Guns, Flintlocks and more primitive pistols are covered under Projectile Weapons, and the more futuristic Laser or Blaster pistols are under their own categories.

Default fast draw: DEX ÷ 2

Default off-hand: Acc -25

When the Rating in any one pistol skill reaches 60 then a Speciality may be taken. Some may only be taken once others have already been acquired. All have a cost in XP. Once purchased if it has its own Rating then it is equal to 50% of the base Skill's Rating as its Rating and an additional 10% of the base Skill, which is lost from the base Skill and given to the Speciality. Each Speciality has its own modifiers.
