====[[File:pipegun.png]] Pipegun====
An excellent weapon for flushing out tunnel rats and enemy assistants, but its rifling leaves much to be desired. Can be cleaned by using a sheet of cloth on it.

how to use the pipegun properly:
* When using technological or improvised buckshot rounds, get yourself [[Surgery#Prosthetic_Replacement|augmented]] on your head or chest and only fire twice or thrice before cleaning it. if you miss every shot, switch to a viable alternative or put a bayonet on your pipegun.
*When using chemical dart rounds, use the deadliest, low-effort chemicals you know about and have a factory up and running. Remember to wear an injection-proof helmet.
* When using incendiary slugs, carry a Fire Extinguisher with you.
*When using non-lethal rubber-shot and beanbag slugs, have some healing supplies ready or have augmentations and a welder ready. Then fire with reckless abandon until 25% misfire probability, also bring boxing gloves so you can keep them in stamina critical by punching them with the gloves on.
*don't try to rupture Cultists with an improv buck pipegun unless you have a way to stun them from a distance or disable their magic for long enough so you can get a point-blank blast. Stick to chemical warfare so you don't have to get up in their face, but remember to have good aim when you use darts.
*Always have spare rounds in places where you can quickly reach for it via quick equip bag or quick equip belt hotkeys and reload.
*If you know that the armor your enemy is wearing doesn't cover the legs or the arms, don't be afraid to kneecap or shoot them in the arm with your shells and slugs.
*When using the pipegun, the first fresh-clean shot never misfires. If you're prude with firing it, use it as an opening/surprise attack with improvised shells, tech shells or darts. The reason why the first fresh-clean shot never misfires is because the misfire chance roll gets rolled before the misfire chance increases. So if you fire only twice before cleaning it, it should almost never misfire.
* Frag-12 shells kill most living things in one or two direct hits, but require [[glycerol]].
*The pipegun can be stored in the owl or griffon cloak
*If you want to make someone who wants to shoot you with your own gun look stupid while dying, rig the odds against them by firing blank darts until the misfire chance is about 75%, then load it with a kill dart or improv buck and get them to shoot you with your pipegun. More often than not, they will wound or kill themselves trying to finish you off. This technique is so simple, a clown can do it!
*Experiment with things that could possibly synergize well with the shotgun round you use the most in your pipegun.
