The Pistol, often referred to as the Halo: Combat Evolved Pistol or CE Pistol to distinguish it from later human pistol incarnations, is a variant of magnum first appearing in Halo: Combat Evolved. Despite its appearance as a handgun, the pistol was extremely effective in its role as a mid range weapon so much so that it outperformed many other weapons both in campaign and multiplayer. It's design and function would be separated into two new weapons for the sequel Halo 2, being the magnum and battle rifle respectively.
