Most powerful pistol in the game/system

Unread post by MaxxSterling »

So, I've been doing a lot of digging, but wanted some input from you guys. What is the most powerful (M.D.C.) human-sized pistol weapon in all of palladium. Canon answers only from any book that exists in any palladium book. Just curious if I'm missing anything. I'm looking for outright damage, don't care about range or anything else. Any input is appreciated.

The Arkhon TB-9 Tri-Beam energy pistol:
4D6 MD, double damage to most materials (8D6), Range: 1,200 feet, Rate of Fire: Standard, with a 30-round payload

This means that (using the old rules for “Standard” rate of fire) this gun delivered 8D6x10 damage to “most” materials, taking only 2 attacks to do so. In the alternative, it can spray an area inflicting 8D6 damage to a BUNCH of innocent bystanders.

Best of all, it can be adapted to use Earth E-Clips, with only a 33% loss of capacity, and no loss to range, or damage.

The Dakir from South America 2 (The guys who ran the Megaversal Legion) used weapons that inflicts 3D6x10 per shot. Not exactly something that you are likely to get your hands on though...
The most powerful pistols with reasonable availability are probably those of Naruni design. There are a whole bunch of them and they all inflict 1D4x10
