Firearm Used in Zuko’s Sacrifice

The firearm is a compact projectile weapon, its metallic body cold and unyielding as the unseen assailant raises it. Muzzle flash illuminates the tense chamber for a single, brutal instant. The shot strikes Zuko mid-stride—his body lurches forward, collapsing against the Doctor as blood spreads across his torso. The weapon’s recoil is brief but decisive, its purpose fulfilled in a single, irreversible act.
