Handgun

Handguns are one-handed firearms.

Usage
Handguns were primarily a defence weapon for usage by security personnel. They were often the chosen weapon of high ranking officials due to their compact ability. Early Human handguns were single fire, the first semi-automatics became available in the 19th century. They lack power, rate of fire and to some degree accuracy.
