The CC-420 was a reliable and effective weapon of the Pyke Syndicate for many decades. It is such an ingrained trademark of the Syndicate, that many members would be very very reluctant to exchange the weapon for anything else. Thus, the CC-500 does not seek to anything radically new with the design. It is simply just the 420, but better. It features better ammunition capacity, a higher damage output, the ability to fire a limited number of stun rounds, and some minor alterations to the grip and weight to make it easier to handle. This new weapon has become quite popular among younger members of the syndicate, including the infamous Xoj Camond. Despite this, a few old timers insist that the CC-420 is still the better weapon, claiming that the grip and weight alterations have completely ruined a great design.
