Trivia

 * The Detron appears to use a revolver mechanism.
 * The Grineer counterpart for the Gradivus Dilemma is the Brakk.
 * Colloquially, a "hand cannon" often refers to an extremely powerful pistol chambered for a high caliber cartridge such as .50 S&W Magnum or .50 Action Express.
 * According to the devs in Livestream 17, these were not given to the players after the Gradivus Dilemma, so most of Detron pistols "have been melted down and used to make MOA's." This was only a joke and did not actual refer to the corpus actually doing this to the weapons.
