Mod:DUST Survival Simulator/Makeshift Pistol

The Makeshift Pistol is a craftable one-handed gun included in Fallout: DUST.

Characteristics
The Makeshift Pistol is one of the most basic of the makeshift weapons. Externally, it resembles a Mauser Broomhandle-style pistol, with the hilt from a kitchen knife serving as the grip and a lead pipe as the barrel. Likely due to poor springs, the Makeshift Pistol has a rather pitiful magazine capacity of two rounds .22 Long Rifle. Despite a probable lack of rifling and other ballistics-related issues, the Makeshift Pistol deals 17 damage, respectable for a .22-caliber weapon. With low durability to further hinder its usefulness, the Makeshift Pistol is generally considered inferior to other handguns available around the same time, such as the 9mm Revolver. The Makeshift Pistol‘s greatest advantage is availability of spare parts: its relatively low-cost recipe makes obtaining spare copies a relatively simple task.
