Lang's Sidearm

A compact projectile weapon, its metallic frame cool against Lang’s grip as he draws it in the passageway. The gun’s muzzle flashes briefly when fired at Noma—muzzle smoke clings to the air, underscoring the lethal intent. Lang handles it with practiced ease, shifting from restraint to decisive violence to secure the group’s exit. The weapon’s recoil snaps his wrist back before he levels it again at the next guard, demonstrating familiarity with its balance and kick.
