The Suicide Pistol is a revolver with the barrel pointed toward the user killing them upon regularly firing the gun. Often the suicide pistol will come out of a mystery block or present, leading to the unsuspecting player attempting to spam the firing button in order to attack enemy players, only to be tricked into shooting themselves. Many of the stats are shared with the regular Magnum revolver. Red grips and barrel direction differentiate the suicide pistol and the magnum at first glance.

Using Without Suicide

The suicide pistol will kill the user when standing or laying down, but there are several techniques to use the weapon offensively. Before firing, duck (press down without moving) and then fire, this will fire behind the player but not kill them. Alternatively, if the player is falling, shooting will not harm them. If the player is hovering or standing against a wall, firing the gun will shoot downward without harm.

Firing the Suicide Pistol without dying.

Much like other guns, angle shots are possible though naturally the directions are reversed. Upwards angle shots (analogous to downwards angle shots for other guns) are trickier than downwards angle shots, as the player has to crouch before shooting, otherwise they will shoot themselves. The high risk and difficulty of this technique leads to it being used rarely.

Notes

• "There's something odd about this gun but I can't quite put my finger on it."
• It can be obtained from the console with the commands:
  • "spawn suicidepistol (coordinates)".
  • "give (player) suicidepistol".
