Sicarus

The Sicarus is a sidearm that was included at the start of the game's closed beta. It is a single pistol that fires bullets in tight, 3-round bursts.

This weapon can be sold for 5,000.

Characteristics
Advantages
 * Easy to acquire - only requires Credits.

Disadvantages
 * Has high recoil, which can make it very difficult to hit targets beyond close to medium range.
 * Less recoil than the Kraken.
 * Burst-fire can be uncomfortable to use for many players and is less effective against groups.
 * Linearly less efficient -- sometimes a target may only die with four bullets, which requires an entire second burst to be fired.
 * Punishes missed shots more than faster-firing weapons.

This weapon can be bought for   20,000.
