Object
Mikey D's Handgun
A compact, concealable handgun owned and fired by Mikey D in the Royale lobby: palm-sized with a dark matte/metal finish and short barrel suitable for one‑handed use. When discharged it produces a single, smoky muzzle flash and a loud, final report (described as single-shot or short-burst), with brief powder clouding and noticeable recoil; the grip shows hurried fingerprints. The weapon is the instrument of the episode’s scripted murder, provoking stunned reactions from nearby witnesses and precipitating the crew's subsequent strategic responses.

Significance
