The '''Splinter Pistol''' is a [[Dark Eldar]] weapon and part of the [[Dark Eldar Armoury]]. It is, like its larger brothers the [[Splinter Rifle]] and [[Splinter Cannon]], a weapon which fires a stream of crystal shards which, even a small cut or graze, can cause immense pain. It is often carried by shock troops and, while smaller, its only deficiency is that of a shorter effective firing range.

Splinter Pistol[1]

Splinter Pistols are a type of Dark Eldar Splinter Weapon.[1]

The Splinter Pistol is the ranged weapon of choice for most the remainder of the Dark Eldar forces, finding frequent use in the ranks of Archons, Wyches, Reaver Jetbikers and most Sybarites and Dracons. They are usually paired with a Monomolecular Knife or Claw and used as a pair for added effectiveness in assaults. The Splinter Pistol uses the same ammunition and firing mechanisms as the rifle, although compacted and therefore with a shorter range, and with a smaller ammunition crystal to reduce the weight even further. Splinter Pistol crystals are therefore the most frequently impregnated with toxins, as they are the weapons that most need the added effect.[2]
