The '''Arclight Pistol''' (known as '''Model II Arclight''' in-lore) is a laser, semi-automatic [[pistol]] manufactured by [[Klaus & Werner]]. It has an effective range of 30 meters.<ref name="ingame">In-game description in Alpha 3.12</ref>

==In-game description==
<blockquote>A handheld laser made famous as [[Kyle Fenris|Kyle Fenris']] sidearm on the hit vid show ''[[The Frontier]]'', the Klaus & Werner Model II Arclight has become extremely popular on the civilian market. Despite its media appeal, the Model II offers a higher rate of fire than any of its ballistic counterparts. While that may diminish the weapon's stopping power, its power cell offers more than enough shots to finish the job.</blockquote>
