First thought to have been used by the last of the Cælum Dominion Crusaders only a few decades before they stopped being used, the compact pistol has found its way into every army's hands. Popularized during the Great War, the Apiostatic Empire and Cælum Dominion outfitted nearly every soldier, medic, and even courier with this gun. Without the required usage of a clockwork firing rotation, the gun rarely broke down when muddied, and as such, worked perfectly on a realistic field.
Still used today, with minimal differences, only now having a safety and better stabilization technology, the compact pistol can be found from Denunciator to average citizen all the way to a lot of Imperators owning one as well. The gun, while remaining close to the same in function, has had major style shifts over the centuries. From the basic wooden flintlock design that crusaders wielded, to the sturdy yet ugly Apiostatic sidearms, this gun now finds itself typically being a little bigger than a Machine Pistol, with a more boxy outline. The gun has a large, sturdy barrel, and a large cocking piston. Typically, the gun will be found in shades of black and grey.
