The Handgun, when used, fires six rounds in slow succession. The bullets are not perfectly accurate, and spread out slightly, although you can move the aim whilst firing to compensate for any innacuracies. It has very low power, and as such it's often used as a "humiliation weapon" like the Prod.
Tactics
- Each shot leaves a very small hole in the landscape when it hits it, and so you can use the Handgun to create a thin tunnel in the land that you can shoot through but your oppoinents can't. Unfortunately, this hole is also too small to fire other weapons through unless you use more shots to make it bigger.
- A great use for the handgun is in the Team17 scheme. You can use 5 of the 6 shots to push a worm closer to a barrel and use the remaining shot to detonate the barrel. A similar tactic can be used to accuratly push a worm on to a mine.
Criticisms, Problems and Weaknesses
- Each shot does minimal damage, and pushes very slightly, although a worm can be pushed a fair distance if all 6 shots hit, as the speed the worm is moving at increases each time he is hit. Note that the first bullets won't push a worm too much, but the last ones are the most important for this, they will push the worm a lot even if the first bullets missed the target. However, it is much more effective to use the Uzi if you are trying to push a worm along the ground.
Trivia
- The Handgun, Grenade Launcher, Baseball Bat and Nuke are the only four "real world" weapons to be introduced in WormsDC.
- The second-generation Handgun makes a very dull "pop" noise upon firing, while the WormsDC version makes a very satisfying gunfire sound.
- The Worms Armageddon english description of the Handgun "Come on, make my day." parodies a phrase said in the scene of the film Sudden Impact: "Go ahead, make my day"
