Pocket Pistol (When the Sun Dies)

The Pocket Pistol is a weak pistol in When the Sun Dies, typically the first one encountered in a playthrough. It has no weight and a quick draw time, although this is far from the end of its perks. Its main drawback is that it often jams, signaled by the sound of a bullet getting stuck in the gun's slide, which is also visually portrayed on the weapon's viewmodel. Once this happens, the player must press R to eject the spent casing. If the player fires the Pocket Pistol while it's jammed, the bullet in the chamber will fire backwards, dealing critical damage to the wielder. However this can be used to strategically kill any enemies that may be sneaking up on the player, at the cost of nearly killing the player themself. Right-clicking twice triggers a 3-6 round burst, depending on the pistol's quality.
Appearance-wise, it's based on the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol from Team Fortress 2, with several changes made. It's larger and less compact, with medium-quality models resembling the Glock-43, 4-star models resembling the 1911/Sig Sauer P938, and 5-star models resembling the Atlas Gunworks Titan Operator. Despite being called the Pocket Pistol, it is larger than pocket-sized.
== Features ==
* The Pocket Pistol has inbuilt aim-assist that stays at a fixed 8-20%, depending on the pistol's quality.
* Low-quality variants reload faster and deal increased damage to the head and vitals.
