Frostbite Medium Pistol
The Frostbite Medium Pistol is a handgun produced by Paragon Weapons Systems.
Design
25cm in length, and with a weight when empty of 1.1kg. The barrel is chambered for 10mm rounds, the standard ferrous bullets massing over 7g, and these can be accelerated to 1.1km/s. However, velocities are usually kept lower. The bullets are designed for maximum expansion and fragmentation within the target.
A standard magazine holds twenty rounds. On the top of the handgun, iron sights are usually fitted, and stabilisation devices are incorporated into the weapon. It also has a suppressor fixed to the barrel as standard, and an air-suspension recoil-limiting system behind the barrel.
Usage
The Frostbite is in wide usage, due to its general-purpose design and ruggedness. It is the standard Elkas Combined Security and Centro Defence Force sidearm.
