A large framed semi-automatic pistol, the SIG-Sauer 14mm handgun is unique in more than just looks. Unlike the tilting barrel system used by the vast majority of pistols, it relies on a fixed barrel without a slide. A weight underneath the front of the barrel absorbs the recoil, actuating a bolt which extends backwards above the shooter's hand, before being forced back by a recoil spring, feeding another round into the chamber.[1] The 14mm pistol was imported to the U.S. from Europe in limited quantitites,[2][3] making them a rare, but powerful weapon. As the availability of 14mm Euro ammunition decreased, existing and new units were converted to fire 12.7mm ammunition.[4]
The 12.7mm pistol is the same as the standard 14mm pistol, except rechambered to accept 12.7mm ammunition. The decrease in caliber also allows the magazine to hold one more round, for a total of seven.[5][6]
Characteristics[]
Li'l Devil expanded
Li'l Devil is a unique variant of the 12.7mm pistol. It does greater damage, fires faster, has a greater critical damage and chance, has a lower AP cost, and is more accurate. The barrel was shortened, making it more compact and concealable than the regular model. It was also given a black synthetic hand grip and black painted trigger, as well as a gray finish over the body, which has been worn from use. Like most unique weapons, modifications cannot be applied.
Li'l Devil is a standard holdout weapon, meaning it can be stashed away regardless of Sneak.(see bugs)
PCPlayStation 3Xbox 360 Li'l Devil is only classified as a standard holdout weapon: it is not added to the list of advanced holdout weapons, so if you have a Sneak skill over 50, you will not be able to bring the weapon into holdout areas. This same bug also affects the tin grenade, MFC grenade, and Nuka-grenade.
PCPlayStation 3Xbox 360 Li'l Devil's data includes a high-quality first person model of the normal 12.7mm pistol with the attached silencer, but Li'l Devil can neither be equipped with a silencer, nor does it possess a high-quality silenced model of its own.
