A pair of custom slugthrowers, crafted for Butcher through underworld contractors, for use against a range of problems.
The pair of pistols have incredible stopping power, thanks to the inclusion of phospha particulates in the standard slugthrower chemical reaction process, making each of the 6 shots (12 total for the pair) mean business. There are also internal gyro-gimbal components that help to lower the recoil somewhat. The addition of phrik-plating allows the pistols to be used in unorthodox ways - such as deflecting melee weapon attacks.
The pistols can utilize variant slug types; including the standard solid slug, acid-capped slugs for corrosive effects to substances, and plasma-encased slugs for high penetration damage.
Finally, each pistol has a concealed short-dagger in each grip handle, which can extend with the press of an activator, to allow melee attacks while wielding the weapons.
