Derringer is generally the smallest usable handgun, very easily concealable in clothes or small containers making the perfect surprise element that can also deal plenty of damage on short range.

„

The Derringer is a double-barreled pocket handgun, designed to be compact, but powerful. Its two barrels chamber one .45 ACP round each, and the gun takes up only 2 inventory slots. It can be reloaded by pressing R without entering the inventory, unlike other weapons (like shotguns) which request a magazine or similar to allow this comfortable reload. The Derringer comes in black, gray and pink.

NOTE: As of Version 1.0.150000 the Derringer is not spawning on vanilla servers and any data regarding it may be obsolete.

Trivia

• The Derringer was introduced into the game proper in 0.50 update.
