Special Weapon EffectsEdit
Did I fire six shots, or only five? Three? Seven. Whatever. – Fires 7 shots in an accelerating horizontal spread at the cost of 3 ammo per shot.

Usage & DescriptionEdit
Unkempt Harold is a deadly pistol which can be used in close and medium range encounters. Shots fired from this pistol split slowly (follows 3-5-7 pattern) into seven after traveling a certain distance. As long as the projectiles have begun splitting, regardless of progression, a full hit will do damage as though a full spread of 7 had connected. A "Double Penetrating" Unkempt Harold will fire two spreads with one shot costing 6 ammo.

NotesEdit

 * Notable among the Unkempt Harold is its exceptional ability to kill crystalisks, since when fired at a crystalisk's legs, the splash damage from the explosions can easily result in all three legs being hit.
 * The time the shots split is actually dependent on the accuracy of this gun. The more accurate it is, the later the shots will split.
 * Unlike other guns with a double shot barrel that fire dual projectiles in a random pattern, the second volley of a Double Penetrating Unkempt Harold will travel directly below the aimed shot in parallel fashion, or sometimes with an 'X' pattern under the right circumstances.
 * Because the additional projectiles are not listed on the item card, each receives full amp damage from amp shields.

TriviaEdit

 * The name "Unkempt Harold" is a variation on Dirty Harry.
 * Both the name of the gun and the flavor text are references to the first Dirty Harry movie, starring Clint Eastwood. After the film's first shootout scene, Eastwood's character, Dirty Harry, holds his gun on a bank robber and says, "Now I know what you're thinking. Did he fire six shots? Or only five?"
 * The gun's spread pattern (3-5-7) is a reference to the .357 S&W Magnum cartridge whose introduction began the "Magnum" era of handgun ammunition. Oddly enough, Harry Callahan's revolver was a .44 Magnum, not a .357.

This gun is 1 of the best.
