The autopistol has a solid rate of fire for a single-shot weapon, actually having the shortest warmup/cooldown cycle out of all ranged weapons in the game. Short-distance accuracy is also somewhat respectable. With both of those characteristics combined, the autopistol is a good weapon for low-skilled shooters. Another strength that the autopistol has is that it's easy to acquire due to its very low manufacture costs and popularity amongst early-game raiders.

Its use is primarily in the early game, and thus it should be compared against other early game weapons. Compared to the [[revolver]], its is largely superior with identical maximum range and better DPS at all ranges. The revolvers slightly higher damage does give a small increase to AP, however during the time this weapon will be in use this will largely be irrelevant. By the time it would be at least somewhat relevant, this weapon should have been replaced. The autopistol doesn't have a high enough stopping power to stagger advancing [[human]]s or [[Lancer|human-]][[Scyther|sized]] [[mechanoid]]s - one advantage the revolver has over the autopistol.

This weapon could be considered the more DPS-orient counterpart of the [[revolver]], though the difference in raw DPS is small enough that the revolver catches up with the autopistol at greater distances not only due to its slightly better accuracy dropoff, but also because it's less affected by projectile travel time owing to its overall slower rate of fire.
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
Although the autopistol has a somewhat average maximum range, its damage output towards and into medium distance falls behind other weapons with similar or greater ranges due to its single-shot nature and its fairly weak medium range accuracy - a similar issue that the [[short bow]] suffers from. Additionally, although the autopistol's overall damage output isn't terrible on its own, the [[pump shotgun]] and [[machine pistol]] both perform better in this aspect. The autopistol also doesn't have a high enough stopping power to stagger advancing [[human]]s or [[Lancer|human-]][[Scyther|sized]] [[mechanoid]]s - another advantage the revolver has over the autopistol.
 
  
 +
Compared to bows, it is between the [[Greatbow]] and [[Short bow]] in range, and tied with [[Recurve bow]]. It has significantly superior touch and short range DPS to all bows of equivalent quality, and slightly inferior DPS to Greatbows beyond that. Thus it is generally advisable to upgrade from bows to the autopistol whenever possible. Possible exceptions exist for if the maxmium range of the greatbow is required or when a higher quality recurve bow is available, as it has superior AP.
  
−
The autopistol is best-suited as a close-quarters engagement weapon due to its higher short-distance accuracy, and it's also a viable hit-and-run weapon due to its very short warmup/cooldown cycle. This also makes an acceptable hunting weapon for lower-risk game due to its range and somewhat average per-shot damage, though the pump shotgun and [[bolt-action rifle]] are still better options.
+
The last early game weapon, the [[Bolt-action rifle]] is less clear cut. The autopistol is significantly superior within short range, while the rifle is both significantly superior beyond this and has a significantly longer range. Rather than direct competitors, this makes them naturally complementary with each other, each covering their effective ranges.  
  
 +
The autopistol is significantly inferior to both the [[Machine pistol]] and [[Pump shotgun]] within the later two's admittedly shorter range. Despite this shorter range, it should be replaced as soon as possible by these more effective weapons. The autopistol is thoroughly outclassed by more advanced weapons, such as the [[Heavy SMG]]. It retains a viable niche as a hit-and-run weapon due to its very short warmup/cooldown cycle, however.
  
 
Against an unarmored human, an autopistol can kill with 4 hits to the torso, 3-4 hits to the head, 3 hits to the neck or 1 hit to the brain; cripple or destroy limbs in 3 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with a single hit. It'll generally take around 7 hits (~14 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.

The autopistol is a light, single-shot firearm in RimWorld which deals a moderate amount of damage per shot; a very short time between shots; moderate range and moderate overall accuracy.

Acquisition

Autopistols can be crafted at a machining table once the blowback operation research has been completed; from 30 steel, 2 components and 5,000 ticks (1.39 mins) of work. A crafting skill of at least 4 is required. Autopistols can also be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, outlander settlements, or obtained from the following raider kinds:

Raider Kind Chance Average Quality Health
Scavenger Gunner 25.72% Normal 40-110%
Pirate Gunner 14.55% Normal 70-230%
Villager 19.97% Poor 20-200%
Town Councilman 43.31% Good 100%
Town Guard 10.35% Normal 60-200%
Mercenary Gunner 6.65% Normal 70-320%
Ancient Soldier 5.15% Normal 100%

Analysis

The autopistol has a solid rate of fire for a single-shot weapon, actually having the shortest warmup/cooldown cycle out of all ranged weapons in the game. Short-distance accuracy is also somewhat respectable. With both of those characteristics combined, the autopistol is a good weapon for low-skilled shooters. Another strength that the autopistol has is that it's easy to acquire due to its very low manufacture costs and popularity amongst early-game raiders.

Its use is primarily in the early game, and thus it should be compared against other early game weapons. Compared to the revolver, its is largely superior with identical maximum range and better DPS at all ranges. The revolvers slightly higher damage does give a small increase to AP, however during the time this weapon will be in use this will largely be irrelevant. By the time it would be at least somewhat relevant, this weapon should have been replaced. The autopistol doesn't have a high enough stopping power to stagger advancing humans or human-sized mechanoids - one advantage the revolver has over the autopistol.

Compared to bows, it is between the Greatbow and Short bow in range, and tied with Recurve bow. It has significantly superior touch and short range DPS to all bows of equivalent quality, and slightly inferior DPS to Greatbows beyond that. Thus it is generally advisable to upgrade from bows to the autopistol whenever possible. Possible exceptions exist for if the maxmium range of the greatbow is required or when a higher quality recurve bow is available, as it has superior AP.

The last early game weapon, the Bolt-action rifle is less clear cut. The autopistol is significantly superior within short range, while the rifle is both significantly superior beyond this and has a significantly longer range. Rather than direct competitors, this makes them naturally complementary with each other, each covering their effective ranges.

The autopistol is significantly inferior to both the Machine pistol and Pump shotgun within the later two's admittedly shorter range. Despite this shorter range, it should be replaced as soon as possible by these more effective weapons. The autopistol is thoroughly outclassed by more advanced weapons, such as the Heavy SMG.

It'll generally take around 7 hits (~14 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock.

Autopistol vs. Comparable Weapons

This section goes over how well the autopistol fares against comparable weapons (similar value, tech level or similar characteristics) in 1 vs. 1 combat.

Methodology

  • All testing is semi-automated which allows for large sample sizes to be gathered per set of results with ease
  • All pawns have skill levels of 14 in ranged and melee
  • No pawns have any traits that affect combat performance
  • All pawns are of at least 18 years of age and completely healthy
  • Pawns are divided by walls to prevent stray shots from skewing results in any way
  • Weather is always kept clear
  • No cover is used for either team

Results in the tables below are the percentages of battles that autopistols either won or tied against the weapon listed in the first column of said tables, with a sample size of 2,000 battles per result. Higher percentages are better.

Unarmored

For the unarmored testing, all pawns wore normal quality plainleather pants, plainleather button-down shirts, plainleather dusters and plainleather cowboy hats.

For the armored testing, all pawns wore normal quality flak pants, flak vests, plainleather button-down shirts, flak jackets and steel simple helmets.
