The pistol is the primary weapon in Hacx. If compared to the Doom pistol, it shoots two bullets at once instead of one, and is a little faster. This makes it much more effective against monsters, but it also means the ammo is going to be spent much more easily. The Pistol is one of two starting weapons, the other being the kick. The pistol is quite useful for eliminating weak and annoying monsters like thugs and buzzers by keeping them away and making them enter the pain status so that it is not possible for them to attack often. It uses the same type of ammo of the uzi, the rounds.
