The Sternsnacht corporation had custom-built the weapon for Tag by modifying a hunting rifle to function as a pistol. Not wanting to let a good opportunity go to waste, especially with their competition offering copies of their own, Sternsnacht released what became known as the Claymore heavy pistol into the market. These pistols were slightly more useful than the one Tag carried around, but were still massive weapons whose large bullets limited magazine size and suffered from intense recoil and muzzle flash.
