The Horned Pistol…
From the name alone, it was easy to imagine what kind of weapon it was, but seeing it in action made the difference clear. It is a handgun with a slim, short blade attached directly beneath the barrel, similar in concept to the Repeater Sword Rifle, only reduced to a compact form that suited close combat.
The pistol held ten rounds, but the bullet holder is always fixed in place. It can still be reloaded, but the process will take long which makes it impractical in the middle of an Akai match. Its accuracy was not particularly high, and it was only effective within a range of about fifteen to thirty meters, which was acceptable for an Akia match, but still came with clear limitations as already mentioned.
Once the bullets were exhausted, the Alchemist would normally need to create another weapon or remodel the current one to continue fighting, but within the rules of Akia, that option was essentially removed.
