	Of course, like the lasgun, a laspistol is generally described as being quite capable of shooting through a modern-day concrete wall, penetrating a civilian car's body in one shot, and dealing a similar amount of damage to a modern day high-caliber revolver/pistol or an SMG burst. At least it has the same stats as the Autopistol and Stub-pistol which are essentially the same as today's micro-Uzi (or equivalent) and Desert Eagle (or other heavy caliber pistol) IN SPACE. This might be why flak armor is sometimes said to be able to take a hit from these.

	While shots from the laspistol are less likely to kill than shots from a bolt pistol, [[Commissar]] [[Ciaphas Cain]], '''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM''', argues that the saving grace of the laspistol is one of reliable ammunition, since a laspistol power pack can be recharged by anything (batteries, solar panels, or even just chucking it in a firepit if the AdMech aren't around to whine at you, though you do have to take care of the machine spirit if you want to do the fire charge with regularity) while the bolt pistol needs physical ammunition to feed it, and a Commissar can only carry so much (even with [[Jurgen]] and endless pouches could only carry a few magazines). Cain also says that part of the appeal of bolt pistols is because they're big, loud, and make a statement. Ironically, [[Amberley Vail]] also notes this is also the reason why so many [[Orks]] are attracted to bolt pistols over laspistols, although Vail warns telling a commissar that to their face would probably get you a demonstration on how dangerous a bolt pistol is.

	So remember, the pistol is actually quite powerful by our standards and the 'one-size-fits-all' battery pack is a logistical miracle. It's just that it's in a setting where the standards are [[Bolter\|guns loaded with miniature rockets for ammunition]], [[Plasma\|lightweight guns that fire super-heated bolts of energy capable of penetrating heavy armor as if it were wet tissue paper]], [[Gauss\|guns capable of disintegrating anything that they're fired at]], [[Shuriken Catapult\|literally recoilless guns that are capable of sending out a flurry of jagged disks capable of severing limbs]], [[Tyranid Bio-Weapons\|some biomechanical abomination 'shooting' living ammo that wants to eat you]] or somewhere along those lines, it looks pretty weak in comparison.

	Rare and incredibly powerful versions of the run-of-the-mill Laspistols, these weapons date back to the times of The Dark Age of Technology. Overall they have superior range, can spew out more shots than a common pistol, and in general are far more efficient. An Archeotech Laspitol's penetrating power also isn't something to scoff at, as it can turn [[Chaos Space Marines]] into Swiss Cheese, making it one step from turning into a [[Awesome\|pistol-sized Lascannon]]. As one can deduce, these firearms are insanely rare in the current day Imperium and having one is considered a mark of high status.

			Back in the good old days of the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]]. Just about everyone with a enough high rank had this fucking things. When they say the Imperium is in a state of decline, its not a joke. Not even [[Cawl]] has bothered to fix that.
