Fluttershy's pistol
🕑 Added 2018-09-18 05:12:05 +0000 UTC Yesterday I posted Killer Butterfly and since then I've gotten a couple of inquiries concerning the pistol that Fluttershy is holding in this picture. Here are some detail drawings of it. The pistol doesn't use any form of gunpowder to propel its projectiles. Instead it uses compressed gas. The spherical projectiles are very much like the paintballs used in paintball sports. Muzzle velocity is much slower than firearms and this weapon is meant to be used at relatively short ranges, but the velocities have to be kept relatively low to prevent rupturing projectiles which are filled with Cockatrice venom.This was not a general issue weapon, and was only used in very specialized roles by ponies who were trained in the manual of arms. In particular operators had to make certain to exercise great care to not rupture the venom projectiles which was could be absorb through the skin. So many cases gloves were worn to reduce this risk.
