A180 snub

The A180 snub is a weapon in Sons of Dissent.

Characteristics
The A180 snub was a variant of the A180 blaster pistol which featured a barrel with a greatly reduced (or "snubbed") length. While the A180 was quite a common weapon in Dohm Exann, the snubbed variant was encountered much less frequently, as the shortened barrel boasted no advantage for the average frontiersman.

The A180 snub can be created at a workbench with a Mechanics skill of 25, requiring a standard A180. This recipe also yields the A180 standard barrel modification, which, with a Mechanics skill of 25, can be combined with an A180 snub to create a standard A180.

Unlike its larger variant, the A180 snub is considered a basic holdout weapon, and can be brought into restricted areas with a Sneak skill of 0 (the standard A180 requires a Sneak skill of 50). The A180 snub, however, also deals slightly decreased damage.
