Brotherhood of Steel (Variant): The BOS variant uses the same stats as the regular PPK12 gauss pistol (including its ability to be modded), except it gains a +1 equipment bonus to Initiative due to expert recalibration techniques and the price increases by +1/+10.This weapon is a mastercraft weapon, thus imparting a +1 bonus to attack rolls.ĭue to its speed and penetrating power, the PPK12 Gauss Pistol imparts a +1 equipment bonus to attack rolls and ignores 4 points of hardness and DR not provided by magic or force fields. When fired, the 2mm EC rounds leave an unmistakable spiral trail of ionized particles. Externally, the PPK12 looks similar to an automatic pistol with the exception of the distinctive electromagnetic fins along the barrel. The ammunition itself is rare and hard to find in the wasteland, necessitating the use of sidearms with more commonly found ammunition when facing threats undeserving of the high-penetration lethality that the 2mm EC round provides against all opposition. While expensive, the PPK12 has unrivalled range, accuracy, and damage compared to other non-energy handguns, storing a generous amount of ammunition. Utilizing powerful electromagnets, it generates an electromagnetic field powerful enough to propel rounds at speeds capable of punching through almost any armor. Renown throughout the wasteland and pre-war world, the PPK12 Gauss Pistol is an engineering marvel of German design.
