==History==
Originally designed for the Tasfiran Police Force, the RFDW Pistol started out it's life as Project: RFD, with the letters standing for Rapid Fire Defense. From the start, these pistols were designed for speed in firing, as the semi-automatic design hinted. The name stuck, and the pistols slowly filtered into police use. However, they began to modify the 9mm guns for larger ammunition, specifically .357 and .45 caliber rounds as the military side of the country took notice, which in turn caught the eyes of Mobian organizations looking for sidearms. 
==Design & Attributes==
A lightweight alloy-constructed weapon, the RFD has two magazine sizes - a fifteen shot, or a ten-shot magazine, with the latter being the primary civilian option. Weighing in at roughly a kilo, these guns are easy enough to use and hold that some soldiers duel-wield the 9mm variations. All variations, however, have the same effective range of fifty meters.
The three variations have different purposes - the 9mm was the original design, with the smallest round and the least penetration power, it has instead the fastest fire rate of the three. The .45, to compare, is normally combined with anti-personnel ammunition to get greater penetration, while the .357 is used mostly in precision work. 
In order for greater customization, Tasfira Armaments fits all pistols of this kind with a specialized top rail for sights, slots to extend the barrel or mount suppressors, laser sights and more. These upgrades, as well as the unique modifications made by some gunslingers employing these weapons, gives the pistols a reasonably wide scope of variation in use and power.

===Experimental Examples===
*RFD-V2 - The RFD-V2 series was an experiment by Tasfira Armaments to create a specialized firearm for anti-robotic work. In order to achieve this; a standard .357 caliber RFD Pistol is augmented with a chemical compound derived from the genetics of an Ivory Wisp; imbuing the barrel with an electrostatic coating. This coating seems to be self-secreting from the barrel; meaning that any bullet fired from the pistol carries an electrical charge. Many of the kinks of these weapons have not been addressed, primarily in the uneven coating of the coating and the reduced range that is causes.

==Known Users==
*Andy the Hedgehog - While Andy typically prefers to employ his powers, one of the experimental RFD-V2 pistols serves as his primary weapon. 
*At least one such pistol, commonly seen with a silencer and laser sight, is used by Nikolai the Hamster in his zombie hunting.
