Commander Millington's Hand Weapon

A worn firearm with a chipped wooden stock, its antiquated appearance concealing a modern firing mechanism. Millington raises this weapon to halt the Doctor and Ace’s examination of the crypt’s suspicious inscriptions, transforming scholarly pursuit into a fight for survival. The gun’s sudden appearance snaps the fragile silence of their exploration, forcing the pair into desperate concealment. This weapon also appears as a compact automatic pistol ("Commander Millington's Sidearm") drawn during the crypt ambush, with a dark finish absorbing the dim crypt light.

Before: Drew and wielded by the three chin-visible knights during the ambush’s opening moments.

After: Discarded or rendered inoperable after the knights’ internal violence erupts, one weapon retrieved by Bambera.
