- Destroyer: The Naast Close Quarters Hand Cannon is an extremely powerful weapon for its size, capable of sending an unarmored opponent flying backwards from a single shot, with a rather large hole blasted through them.
- Stunner: The Naast has a small stun coil placed underneath the barrel, acting as a compensation to help handle recoil, as well as be used to provide electrical shock to a foe in a melee encounter. The forward and underslung position of the stunner acts as a forward weight balance, helping to counteract the backward action of recoil when fired.
- Ammunition: The sheer power of the Naast drains power cells incredibly quickly, allowing for six shots at most before the weapon must be reloaded.
- Recoil: The recoil from the Naast prevents the weapon from being fired in quick rapid succession, forcing the user to be accurate with their first shot in any fight.
The Naast Close Quarters Hand Cannon was built by Thom Naudir to make up for a seeming lack of stopping power in most pistols he could get his hands on. Personally designed and crafted for Thom's personal tastes in a fight, the Naast is capable of serving in a variety of close combat engagements, and even acting as a melee weapon when called for.
