The Z-33 (Zarkov-33) Pistol is the new standard-issue sidearm of the RDA, replacing the older RDA Handgun. It is carried by most SecOps personnel, including General Ardmore and Cet-Ops members.[1]
An enlarged version, known as the Z-33R, also serves as the standard sidearm for Skel Suit operators and Recombinants.[2]
Description[]
The Z-33 uses a .40 caliber round,[1] while the Z-33R fires 0226-LSAR (Linkable Skel Assault Round) hollow-point ammunition designed to fragment on impact, causing severe lacerations and extensive internal damage to living targets.[2]
The Z-33R can fire up to 40 rounds per minute, making it an extremely lethal sidearm at close range. It can hold up to 16 rounds per magazine.[2]
