Trivia

 * The Zakti is the first weapon to have as its primary damage type.
 * śaktí is a Hindi and Sanskrit word meaning force, energy, or potency.
 * The Zakti's reload animation involves ejecting a real life pistol magazine from the top and recieving an invisible magazine from the bottom, although the magazine has an overtravel stop (seen when ejected). This is clearly visible in Captura, and the magazine can be seen on the ground after reloading, still with a round (visually similar to a 9m) in the magazine.
