When the special weapon runs out of ammo, the player will go back to using this handgun. The handgun has unlimited ammo, but lacks the heavy firepower or high fire rate of other weapons. The male characters use semi-automatic pistols, while the females use double-action revolvers. 3.1 Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001 to Metal Slug Advance.
