Ruger Mark III

The Ruger MkIII is a Pistol chambered in .22 lr ammunition. The pistol is considered by many to be the weakest pistol in No More Room in Hell.

This gun shares the attributes of all pistols, being a skill-shot mode (When aimed in for longer than 3 seconds) which double damage, accuracy, and add a 75% chance to knock back. This raises the potential effectiveness of the weapon to double, in low-pressure situations. In high pressure situations, the Mk III can excel, having rapid rate of fire, and high accuracy.

This pistol is rather weak when compared to others, it's main boons being when considered to the only other weapon of it's ammo type, the Ruger 10/22 Takedown. When compared to the rifle, it's stats are nearly identical, including damage and mag size (10+1)

However, there are exceptions that could sway one to choosing either. For the Mk 3, it's capable of skill shot mode, and weighs considerably less than the Ruger 10/22 Takedown. The Takedown, on the other hand, has a variant weapon containing a "Banana" mag, which can bring it's total mag capacity to 25+1

Pros:

Able to be fired quickly in emergency situations

Capable of "Skill-shot" mode

22 lr ammo drops contain 20 shots when full, meaning 2 magazines can be found per box.

Arguably better than the rifle for it's ammo type

Very clean, readable sights

Cons:

The Glock 17 and Beretta both have larger magazines for more common ammo types

The Ruger 10/22 Takedown with the larger mag holds more bullets, and is better in risky situations

Takes 2 headshots to kill

.22 lr ammo drops are hard to find, and aren't very common
