alder_wyatt started out his military service in the SAOY as a sharp-shooter and maintained his precise shooting arm throughout his career thus-far, being in a position so dependent on weapons shooting as straight as they are advertised to has led to Wyatt taking more than a casual interest in the maintenance and modification of firearms, saying it is beyond that of the average soldier would be quite the understatement – after having designed the 55 x 120 mm Aether-Slugs in YE 41 Wyatt decided to turn his attention away from proprietary ammunition towards something more commonly used, and so he picked up the hobby of producing match-grade sidearms for his closest of friends, chambering them in commonly-used pistol rounds, with the exact caliber depending on the user’s needs.

The first few pistols were produced towards the end of YE 41 to be distributed during celebrations at the end of that year.

Each one of these pistols is hand-crafted by Wyatt to ensure they are held to the highest quality, they are not commercially available and Wyatt is the sole distributor of these pistols, going so far as to carve each grip to specifically suit the hand of the intended user.

Each pistol may vary slightly depending on the intended owner though generally they have a rather distinct silhouette, featuring a wooden handle specifically shaped for each owner’s grip and a barrel that sits as low as physically possible – the exterior is primarily anodized Durandium Alloy that has been urethane-painted matte black, with the slide looking like it is made from brushed gold, all of the gun’s moving parts are internal to protect them from the elements¹⁾.

The magwell is slightly flared at the base to make reloading under duress an easier process and the front of the trigger guard contains a coin-sized fusion battery as well as a laser pointer module, finally the end of the barrel comes threaded by default – things such as the material of the grip, colour of the gun and even the specific integrated components may be altered as per the intended owner’s needs on a case by case basis.

Information about how the weapon functions.

• Firing Mechanism: Recoil operated, each shot ejects an empty casing and strips a new round from the magazine before chambering it.
• Loading: A magazine-release button is depressed to allow the magazine to exit the pistol’s grip, allowing it to be replaced with a new magazine, the user then flicks down on the slide release paddle to chamber a round and make the pistol ready to fire again.
• Mode Selector: N/A
• Firing Modes: N/A
• Safety Mechanism: Each pistol features a moulded grip-safety built into the rear of the pistol’s grip, this small tab is slightly curved and shaped in such a way that so long as the weapon is held correctly and this tab is depressed then the safety should disengage.
• Weapon Sight: Wyatt tailors the specific style of sights to best suit each owner but regardless both the front and rear sight prongs are tritium-lit for better target acquisition in the dark and removable if the owner wishes to swap them out – in addition to this there is a laser pointer mounted to the front of the trigger guard, this laser featuring an on/off switch that uses the grip safety as an activator.
• Attachment Hard Points: A section of Type 40 Yamatai Integrated Rail System runs along the top of the pistol, used to mount optics systems – though at the user’s discretion he can use their preferred type of rail system or even remove it entirely.

The 10mm version of these custom built pistols use magazines designed for the General Service Pistol, Type 28 and ODM 10mm Pistol seamlessly, though Wyatt gives three custom-made magazines to everyone he gifts one of these weapons to – these custom magazines have a strip of iron built into each side, the iron’s ferromagnetic properties being used by a basic electromagnetic rail system in the grip of each pistol, which uses a small bit of power to quickly fling these custom magazines out when the magazine release is depressed. Additionally the barrel and all the moving components of the weapon are made from titanium-nitride-coated Durandium Alloy, making them function extremely smoothly – Wyatt put a lot of thought behind the performance of these pistols, going so far as to give the barrels expensive monomolecular-level rifling to improve the projectiles’ stability.

Each pistol comes in a matte-black Durandium Alloy case lined with a lead core and shock-absorbing foam padding that features cut-outs for the pistol and three magazines, the case is waterproof as well as dust proof, featuring both the model number laser-engraved onto the lid and a hand-written note from Wyatt sitting atop the pistol – unique modifications may be made to the pistol on a case-by-case basis for each recipient.

Wyatt gifts these pistols to personnel and asks for no compensation in return, it usually costs a few hundred KS to produce one.

The weapons are exceptionally well made and designed to take a beating though any replacement parts that are needed can be sent to the pistol’s owner by Wyatt, or the pistol can be sent for him to repair before returning it to its owner.

These custom sidearms can accept most pistol attachments on the market, with barrels that feature standard threading making them compatible with off the shelf suppressors and other barrel attachments made for that caliber.

These pistols are most commonly chambered in 10_x_25_mm_ketsurui_zaibatsu, due to Wyatt mostly making these for individuals in Yamataian space – though he can build them in other similarly powerful pistol rounds if the user would benefit from it, packaging them with three ferromagnetic 15 capacity magazines designed for that caliber.

Users wishing to add this weapon to their character’s inventory must contact sirskully³⁾ and discuss the matter with them personally, generally though only those who have had an affect on Wyatt Alder’s life or a good friend of his could come into possession of one – it’s a case by case thing.
