(reverting section regarding the flood as the previous edit may be confusing it for the flood's play dead behavior. Will add back if statement holds true after testing) |

The Pistol is the first weapon given to the player, and by extension the first weapon to be usable in a ''Halo'' game. It is an extremely effective weapon maintaining usefulness in most situations. It can 1 shot kill any [[character]] with an exposed head, does decent damage to shields, and can one-shot kill hunters when fired into their exposed skin. [[The Truth and Reconciliation]] is the only campaign mission to not feature the Pistol. The Pistol is noticeably ineffective against [[Sentinels]], especially those with [[energy shields]]. | The Pistol is the first weapon given to the player, and by extension the first weapon to be usable in a ''Halo'' game.

Unlike later games headshots have no effect on the [[Flood]], if a [[combat form]] appears to die from a single hit it is actually feigning death and will stand back up again. | ||
