SNS Pistol
Handgun · Hawk & Little · Compact sidearm
The SNS Pistol is a compact and lightweight handgun perfect for discreet operations. Its small size makes it easily concealable, though it sacrifices power and accuracy for portability.
Overview
The SNS Pistol is a small, easily concealable handgun designed for personal defense. Its compact size makes it ideal for situations where larger firearms would be cumbersome or inappropriate. While it lacks the stopping power of larger handguns, its quick reload time and portability make it a viable option for players needing a backup weapon in tight situations.
