The Mauler Heavy Pistol is a weapon produced by Paragon Weapons Systems.

Design

Quite a large weapon, this gun's overall length is 28cm and its weight at empty

A Mauler Heavy Pistol

is 1.3kg. Bullets are of several types, but the barrel's calibre is 12mm. Standard solid ferrous ammunition masses 15.8g, and the magazine holds twenty rounds.

These can be accelerated up to 1km/s by the gun's polarisation-based driver, though speeds are more usually much lower. The bullets for high speeds are designed to squash, transferring more energy to the target.

The Mauler has iron sights, though these can be replaced, and a air-suspension recoil limiter.

Usage

Modified Maulers are used by Skarg, but this weapon is more commonly a soldier's back-up weapon against large species, and is as such widespread. Elkas Combined Security gives these to personnel in areas with many Skarg or large predators.
