WORK IN PROGRESS

Compression Pistols are a type of Ground Weapon. Their primary fire method shoots a bolt of energy at a target. They also have a a secondary fire mode that hits a single target with a high damage bolt of energy after a short charging period. These shots have the ability of dealing significant damage if the target is exposed.

Depending on the type of energy used, these weapons usually come with a 2.5% chance of applying a specific effect to the target, unless otherwise stated.
