Mod-Pistol

The Mod-Pistol is a one-handed ballistic sidearm produced by Thesian Astromotive that intentionally exposes much of its working architecture to the exterior. Instead of a fully enclosed casing, it uses a skeletal frame that prioritises mounting points, interfaces, and hard-connect ports for add-ons favoured by Atlantean Mod-Suit users. Like most pistols, it is light enough to draw quickly, simple to handle, and capable of being dual-wielded by trained operators, but its real strength lies in how readily it can be customised. In practice, no two Mod-Pistols are exactly alike — each reflects the technical preferences and augment profile of its wielder.

“Shhhhplish… no, no, don’t touch it like that, you’ll short thish beauty,” the Atlantean hissed, droplets beading off their chin as they lovingly turned the Mod-Pistol in their webbed hand. “Shee, I’ve got fshhh-flamin’ roundsh for when folksth getsh angry, a blinding-bright flahshlight so nothing can hide in the deep, a net launcher for trawlin’ up problemsh, and—shhhh—my personal rail-mounted micro-toashter because a working merc has to keep the carbs warm, yessh, even in the middle of a fisht-fight.”
