Marelok

In essence, the Marelok pistol is a shortened that has a higher fire rate, at the cost of lower damage and accuracy, as well as reduced critical multiplier, status chance, and magazine size.
==Characteristics==
*This weapon deals primarily  damage.
*Can use the Marelok-exclusive mod.
*Innate polarity.
==Acquisition==
The Marelok's blueprint can be researched from the Chem Lab in the dojo.
==Notes==
*Due to the Marelok's low accuracy, additional bullets generated via Multishot will sometimes hit enemies behind or next to the main target, giving the illusion of Punch Through.
**For this reason, 's accuracy penalty is very noticeable at higher ranks.
==Tips==
*The Marelok is essentially a cut-down , trading out accuracy for increased firepower and rate of fire. Like the Grinlok, its base stats are well-suited for builds that maximize the chance and damage of critical hits, and those that cause many status effects.
*The Marelok is a great sidearm for dealing with enemies at short to mid range for players who have a sniper or bow for their primary weapon. The Marelok's firepower is strong enough to be considered a sub-primary weapon.
*In order to reach the full fire-rate, one must fire the next shot just before the "lever-action" animation is completed.
==Trivia==
*The Marelok is likely named after the Mare's Leg, which refers to a lever-action rifle cut down to the size of a large pistol.
**Closer inspection reveals that the Marelok is indeed a Grinlok with its barrel and stock cut down to size and its magazine moved to the bottom of the gun.
*The Marelok's description initially misspelled it as Marelock. This was fixed shortly afterward.
*The Marelok is spun around the finger lever after every shot, which was mentioned in Devstream 22 to be a reference to a lever-action shotgun used in the movie Terminator 2. 
*The Marelok was first showcased in Devstream 22 along with the Grinlok. It was supposed to be released alongside the Grinlok and come as a dual/akimbo weapon, but its release was delayed due to the additional coding required to handle the animations involved.
*The color scheme of the Marelok is darker compared to the Grinlok.
*Currently, the only Grineer units that use the Marelok are Shik Tal, and the Kuva Shield Lancer, with the former's Marelok having been modified to fire rockets rather than bullets.
