Stott's Concealed Handgun

A compact projectile weapon with a dark polymer frame and short barrel, drawn by Stott of the Tryst expedition from concealment during a Mandrel ambush. The weapon’s utilitarian design—featuring a breech-loaded metal mechanism likely chambered for mid-range cartridges—suggests standard-issue or prior military/professional experience with firearms. The dully glinting surface and noticeable recoil emphasize its lethal intent and substantial stopping power despite its modest size. No insignia or modifications are visible, and its use reflects immediate self-defense needs in the confined spaces of Eden’s lift shafts.

S17E15 · Nightmare of Eden Part 3

Mandrel battle ends in narrow victory

Stott’s handgun is drawn and fired in rapid succession, the first shot grazing the mandrel’s flank while the second pierces deeper into its muscle tissue. The weapon’s discharge interrupts the creature’s charge, reducing its offensive capability and allowing the group to scramble to safety.

Before: Concealed on Stott’s person in a hidden holster, loaded and ready for immediate use.

After: Fired, its barrel likely smoke-warm, ejected casing near the shooter’s feet as Stott regains control of the weapon post-engagement.
