The Welrod is a British integrally suppressed bolt-action pistol used by spies and special forces during World War II to perform assassinations without being detected. The most common model, Mk. I Welrod, is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum and is fed from a 6-round magazine. Because of the classified nature of Allied covert operations in WW2, not much is known about the Welrod's use or combat effectiveness, but Oceanykan infiltrators swear it is an essential part of their kit.
Welrod Pistol
Abilities
Common Attributes - Mechanical
One-Handed
One-handed weapons enjoy certain advantages; namely, that they can be used while doing something else, or wielding another weapon.
EFFECT:
Two one-handed weapons can be equipped at the same time and used without having to Change Weapon (1 APS).
Suppressed
This weapon is equipped with a suppressor, massively reducing its noise and flash. However, that does not mean it is completely silent. For that, one requires specialised subsonic ammunition. Alternatively, it is a bow, which by design doesn't make much sound at all.
EFFECT:
To take advantage of this effect, the weapon must be firing a Subsonic Cartridge, unless the weapon clearly states it always fires subsonic ammunition.
This weapon does not break Concealed even when firing.
Refer to the Stealth Rules for more information.
Bow 🏹 weapons are always considered Suppressed.
Note: The Welrod's integral suppressor is designed in such a way that supersonic 9x19mm Parabellum projectiles are slowed down to subsonic speeds, rendering its shots almost completely silent.
Common Attributes - National
Steady and True - British Small Arms (WW2)
The British Army, well aware of its numerical inferiority against any of Europe's great powers, has always put a premium on the individual soldier's discipline and rifle marksmanship. Every British infantryman is a skilled shooter and is issued a rifle that allows them to be so.
EFFECT:
This weapon gains an Easy DM when performing Aimed Fire (2 APS) beyond Medium Range.
