The Eoka Pistol is generally considered to be the worst ranged weapon in the game, due to its unreliable firing mechanic. It can fire any type of shotgun ammunition.
Instead of having a trigger, the Eoka Pistol is fired by striking a hole on top of the pistol with a piece of flint which takes a random number of attempts (max 9, although normally 2-3).
