“

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 stylized, small, black pistol with a short barrel and light-colored wooden grips.

While the Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is active, the player restores 3 health points per bullet that hits an enemy, and the weapon fires 15% faster than the Pistol. However, its magazine capacity is 25% smaller, down to 9 shots per magazine compared to the Pistol's 12 shots.

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

• The attributes are listed as When weapon is active, despite all the attributes being effects relating to the weapon itself, and thus clearly only occurring when the weapon is active.

Trivia

• This weapon's name is a reference to Charles Arthur Floyd, nicknamed "Pretty Boy Floyd", a 1930s bank robber.
• The Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol is a left-handed model (as shown by the ejection port being visible on the left-hand side of the gun), despite this Scout holds it right-handed. A right-handed pistol has the ejection port on its right side to prevent ejected casings from striking the user.
