Description[]
Weapon[]
Versatile and precise, the pistol is an accurate weapon at virtually any range, even when on the move. The pistol is capable of accepting a silencer attachment - making it invaluable for stealthy approach.
Skills[]
Levels of Pistol skill increase damage and reduces the inaccuracy of firing the pistol while moving. Advanced Pistol training provides better critical hit capabilities and unlocks the ability to fire multiple shots in the blink of an eye.

Pistols is an upgradeable skill in the game Alpha Protocol. This skill costs 5 Advancement Points per rank.
Rank | Name | Description | Effect |
---|---|---|---|
1 | |||
2 | Improved Pistol Critical Hit (Basic) | The pistol can be carefully aimed at a target to score a Critical Hit - a shot that does additional damage. A Critical Hit is readied by holding the reticule over an enemy while at relatively close range. A set of crosshairs will appear in your reticule to indicate your aim is being focused on the target. Once the crosshairs have closed completely, firing will result in a Critical Hit.
Moving your aim off your target, reloading, moving, or taking any action that lowers your weapon will spoil your aim. |
Time to Aim Critical Hits: 2.5 seconds Maximum Critical Hit Range: 15 meters |
3 | Chain Shot (Basic) | Activating Chain Shot slows time down to a crawl. In this frozen moment, you may aim and fire using (R), L2, R2 -all other controls are temporarily restricted. Shots fired during this standstill aren't immediately fired but put into a queue. When all available shots have been queued up (or when the duration expires) time returns to its normal flow and all queued shots are fired in rapid succession. This ability can only be used when the pistol is equipped.
Number of Shots: 2 Duration: 8 seconds 60 second Cooldown |

4 | Armed and Dangerous (Pistol) | The Armed and Dangerous ability allows Mike to carry twice his normal allotment of pistol ammunition into the field. | |

Weapon[]
Pistols are a type of weaponry available in Alpha Protocol. While they are fairly weak when it comes to power, pistols are perfect for a stealth approach. With a silencer attached, the pistol becomes a discreet weapon. Being a semi-automatic weapon, the pistol is perfect for achieving critical hits. Several basic designs are featured that resemble real world weapons, namely the Smith & Wesson M&P, FN Five Seven, GSh-18, Glock 17, a generic tranquilizer pistol, and a unique Beretta M92F.

Pistol Ammo | $ 50 | Standard-issue rounds for an automatic pistol. | Nasri, |
Steel Core Rounds | $4000 | Steel core rounds cut through armor and bone alike, making them useful against all manner of targets. | Murad, |
Tranquilizer Rounds | $5000 | These rounds are hollowed out to contain a dose of debilitating sedatives and virtually useless against armored targets. While not as practical as jabbing someone with a syringe, these rounds can incapacitate any target you wish to leave alive. Agents using these rounds aim for the head and torso wherever possible - hits to the feet and hands won't allow the sedatives to circulate through the victim body. | Mongoose, |
