PDP 45

The PDP 45 is the standard sidearm for all star flight pilots while out on a mission in a combat zone.

Description
While the use of siderarms goes as far back in history as the ancient Chinese empires, centuries of development and refinement have produced a side arm capable of handling almost any close quarters engagement with an enemy force.

Manufactured by First Contact Firearms, the PDP 45, or Personal Defense Pistol 45 caliber, is a select fire weapon capable of semi auto, burst fire, or fully automatic fire depending on the user's preference. The standard 30 round clip ensures pilots who are unfortunate enough to be stranded in a combat zone, have enough fire power to ward off small patrols of pursuers.

Using depleted uranium ammunition, the PDP is capable of downing larger Singulus infantry and light vehicles, and in the hands of a synthetic soldier, light aircraft as well. The pistol is prized for its reliability and stopping power, thanks in part that the bullets are the only moving parts to the weapon. All ammunition is discharged using electrical current to generate a magnetic field that propels the projectile out the barrel, reducing recoil and blowback. This makes handling the weapon easy to use and light weight, while retaining accuracy and precision over short to medium distances.
