FP-45

The FP-45 Liberator Pistol, known as the FP-45 in-game, is an extremely weak, single-shot pistol that fires .45 ACP. In real life, the weapon was intended to be used once and was to be swapped with an adversary's weapon once the adversary was killed.

Disambiguation
The FP-45 can fire only a single round before having to reload, firing from the user's supply of .45 ACP (Purple) ammunition. Due to the weapon's design, it takes an extremely long time to reload and is meant for one-time use only. It is by far the weakest weapon in the game, and should be dropped instantly if the user has a chance to pick up another usable weapon.

Using

 * If you do get stuck with this weapon, do your best to scavenge around for any other weapon
 * If an adversary attempts to attack you, your best chance is to fire the single round you have into them and then switch to your melee weapon to fight
 * Replace it if you can. Even the M1911 is better for combat than this.

Against

 * Do not try to play defense if your opponent only has an FP-45.
 * Charge the FP-45 wielder as fast as you can; they can only deal 15 damage if they land a shot.
 * Once they fire, throw everything you have at them and absolutely tear them apart. They won't be able to do anything because the FP-45 has a staggeringly long reload time.

Trivia

 * The FP-45 is an American pistol, used by French Resistance during World War II
 * It was designed to be easily mass-produced and cheap
 * The full name of the FP-45 is the Flare Project Caliber .45
 * Up to 5 extra rounds could be inserted into the grip for storage
