“

I bet you're all thinking, "Scout can handle the meanest guns out there, he wouldn't use a tiny gun, he's too awesome for that." And you'd be right, I am awesome. Then I realized I could tell people that they are going to be killed BY THE SMALLEST GUN KNOWN TO MAN! Then kill them. Ma always said don't make threats you can't carry out. — Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol publicity blurb

The Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is a community-created secondary weapon for the Scout. It is a small, black pistol with a short barrel and light-colored wooden grips.

While the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is active, the player will be awarded 3 health points per bullet that hits an enemy (similar to the Blutsauger), and the weapon fires 15% faster than the Pistol. However, the clip size is 25% smaller, down to 9 shots per clip compared to the Pistol's 12 shots.

The Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Trivia

• This weapon's name is a reference to Charles Arthur Floyd, nicknamed "Pretty Boy Floyd", a 1930s bank robber.
• The design is mostly based on the Colt 1908 Vest Pocket Pistol, which was often used by criminals for covert killings.
• The design is also similar to some concept art of the original stock Pistol.
