User:Happypal/Item Code

An item or weapon code is the small prefix alpha-numeric code that appears before the Name. The code has no effect nor any real use. Because the code is generated from the item/weapon's part, some players use it to get a quick idea of how a gun is constructed, in particular for the stocks of Revolvers and Shotguns
