The pistol is always the starter weapon in every game so far. It does slight damage, but it is useful since it has infinite ammo. It causes 25 damage when fully upgraded and has various upgrades to assist the player in combat. In Boxhead: The Nightmare it had 100 bullet's to make it a challenge for players to use the weapon.
Tactics[]
It fired crookedly and was harder to aim with (But was changed for 2Play ). It is the least damaging weapon, unless upgraded, doing two-hit kills to zombies. The pistol is useful as a last stand weapon, if all your options are exhausted and you find that there are many zombies coming in on your position.
