A Body Pistol (300 grams loaded; Cr520; TL-7) is a small, non-metallic semiautomatic pistol designed to evade detection by most weapon detectors. [1]

It fires 5.0 gram projectiles at a velocity of 500 to 600 meters per second. A magazine containing six cartridges is inserted into the pistol handle; one cartridge is fired for each pull of the trigger. Pre-loaded magazines may be inserted into the pistol when it is empty, taking a small amount of time to do so. Body pistol ammunition is generally not interchangeable with the ammunition for any other types of guns. [2]
Weapon Characteristics
Length: 100mm. Weight, unloaded: 250 grams (a loaded magazine weighs 50 grams). Base price: Cr500 (one loaded magazine: Cr20). [3]
History & Background (Dossier)
