-The Zen .45 Kendo Special is a high-performance, small-production run of handguns that went into production beginning in [[timeline:ye_42]] after Ishikawa Kendo((not to be confused with his son, [[character:Ishikawa_Kendo_II]])) licensed the design off to [[corp:zen_armaments]]. The original weapon is a heavily modified [[corp:zen:zen_arms_.45_pistol]] and thus it shares a lot of internal parts with its better-known sibling.

 The [[faction:nepleslia:military]] and [[faction:nepleslia:police]] have opted to put this firearm on their lists of available firearms, while certainly still fewer in number than their more commonly fielded siblings of higher renown, the number of these in-use is by no means something to laugh at. The [[faction:nepleslia:military]] and [[faction:nepleslia:police]] have opted to put this firearm on their lists of available firearms, while certainly still fewer in number than their more commonly fielded siblings of higher renown, the number of these in-use is by no means something to laugh at.

-The Zen .45 Kendo Special is a rather simplistic handgun, even if big and somewhat bulky. It is made from nickel-plated [[materials:durandium]] featuring a wraparound-style grip constructed from vulcanized rubber with the words “Kendo Special” printed into the sides in blocky text. The barrel extends a noticeable bit from the front of the slide, with several notches cut out of its top. These notches functioning to help partially counter the weapon’s recoil and reduce muzzle climb, achieved by venting gasses upwards with each round fired.+The Zen .45 Kendo Special is a rather simplistic handgun, even if big and somewhat bulky. It is made from nickel-plated [[materials:durandium]] featuring a wraparound-style grip constructed from vulcanized rubber with the words “Kendo Special” printed into the right side in blocky text. The barrel extends a noticeable bit from the front of the slide, with several notches cut out of its top. These notches functioning to help partially counter the weapon’s recoil and reduce muzzle climb, achieved by venting gasses upwards with each round fired.
  
 On the finer, more functional side of things, both the front and rear of the weapon’s slide features deep and distinct striations to improve grip when attempting to rack back the slide. The hammer and trigger feature similar texturing. The handgun’s bull-style barrel has a spiral-style fluting to increase surface area. On the finer, more functional side of things, both the front and rear of the weapon’s slide features deep and distinct striations to improve grip when attempting to rack back the slide.

-  * Firing Mechanism: The Zen .45 Kendo Special is a simple blowback-operated handgun with a double/single-action trigger. The heavy trigger-pull attached to it means that the weapon may be safely carried chambered and de-cocked with the safety off if the owner so chooses. A carefully weighted spring around the bull-style barrel pushes the slide forwards after each time it recoils backwards. Overall, it is a breathtakingly simple and reliable design for such a potent pistol.+  * Firing Mechanism: The Zen .45 Kendo Special is a simple roller-delayed, blowback-operated handgun with a double/single-action trigger.

   * Loading: A small, round, reversible grip-mounted magazine release sits behind the handgun’s trigger mechanism, releasing the spring-loaded magazine and letting it fall free so that it may be replaced. The weapon’s slide locks open when out of ammunition and is released with a small, ambidextrous paddle above the trigger mechanism.   * Loading: A small, round, reversible grip-mounted magazine release sits behind the handgun’s trigger mechanism, releasing the spring-loaded magazine and letting it fall free so that it may be replaced.
