12mm Comet

12mm Comets are oversized pistols manufactured by the New Tyne Armory in New Tyne, Venezia.

Overview
Due to their unwieldy size, using the pistols may put one at a significant disadvantage in a quick-draw fight. Office of Naval Intelligence combat instructors have been known to derisively refer to Comets as "hand cannons".

Operational history
Gunrunners employed by Ross Nyeto on Venezia used 12mm Comets in December 2553 when the Spartan-IIs of Blue Team crashed a staged meeting between Nyeto and the Ferret team of Spartan-IIIs led by Veta Lopis. Ash-G099 secured one of these Comets for himself and took it with him after hostilities had concluded.
