Type-3 DMP Needle Launcher

The Needle Pistol is essentially the sidearm version of the Needle Rifle. Used by Sangheili Personnel it is highly effective sidearm versus unshielded or unarmored enemies.

Main info
The Dual Magazine Pistol(or DMP) is an extraordinary weapon. Developed by the 'Vadum Institute of Research for combat against the Covenant Remnant, it fires a large needle, compared to those of a Needler. As such, it can be labeled as a hand-cannon. The larger needles do more damage on impact, compared to other needler weapons, making it more effective against shielded opponents. It takes longer to reload. Whether you have one or two clips, you will still spend more time on reloading. They do not have the homing ability of the Needler, mainy because the weapons accuracy doesnot require it. The two clips act as one.

Appearance
Its size lies between the Plasma Pistol and Needler, it has a large grip located at the back of the weapon. It has two clips, each containing 4 needles. The clips are loaded into the top and the bottom of the weapon. The front of the weapon has the characteristic 'Needle barrel', it being a grey 'mouth'. The large Needles stick out on the side, like all Needle weapons.

I've tried to come up with a good alternative to the Magnum, so tell me what you think of it!
