===[[Campaign]]===
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 backs or necks. [[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 Flood, on the other hand, mostly requires two headshots to kill it for good. The first shot is at where the Pod Infector is to make it dead temporarily, and the second shot is once they rise up again to kill it for good.
