Different Coloured Variants

Special Features

• Holographic Sight

Strengths:

• Small but Strong: Due to it's use of the RPG like round fired the pistol like weapon while small still packs a very deadly punch that can penetrate average level armor with ease.
• Shot Gun: It's larger cambering round and magazine slots also lead to the weapon being made to take shotgun slug too, meaning the weapon can be customized from mid-short range combat.
• Bigger Clip: Large clip mean more ammo and longer combat use then it's predecessor since with most slug throwers ammo is quite limited in prolonged combat. Also reduces the amount of time one needs to reload.

Weaknesses:

• Ranging: Lack of barrel length make long range combat not an ideal option for a weapon like this, lack of sights not helping much either.
• More Kick Back: With the larger caliber comes problems with recoil, both the bolt and scatter ammunition putting a decent amount of strain on a users arm when firing.
• Weighty: The extra ammo and over all bigger weapon to take the higher caliber does make the weapon a little harder to wield, for some holding the thing like a standard rifle is required.

Description
With the sucess of the TPF No1 progress was put into making a more full fleshed out and high powered version of the weapon using the full caliber bolt round. The Result was a pistol that seemed more like a miniature assault rifle then any hand gun. Regardless the weapon, despite being a little heavier and bigger met the criteria for a side arm, mainly being issued to officer to give them some good fire power and regiments that were expecting to be caught in close quarters combat.

Early testing did show that the recoil was higher then the TPF No1, but the weapons somewhat slow rate of fire meant it did not become a problem, though prolonged use did take a strain on a users limbs. Regardless feed back was positive, the weapon going into full scale production to meet the needs of the ever growing imperial guard.
