{{Info|The '''machine pistol''' is a slightly lighter, multi-shot firearm in RimWorld which fires 3-shot bursts of rounds which deal a low amount of damage each; a slightly shorter delay between each shot; a very short time between bursts; slightly shorter range and slightly higher overall accuracy.}}

== Acquisition ==
Machine pistols can be crafted at a [[machining table]] once the [[Research#Blowback operation|blowback operation]] research has been completed; from {{Required Resources}}s and {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work. A crafting skill of at least 4 is required.

Machine pistols can also be purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, outlander settlements, or obtained from the following [[raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:

== Analysis ==
With high close-up accuracy and excellent rate of fire, the machine pistol is great for low-skill shooters, and has a respectable overall damage output. It easily outclasses the [[autopistol]] and goes toe-to-toe with the [[pump shotgun]]. It is cheap to manufacture, and commonly carried by earlygame [[raider]]s. However, almost every ranged weapon outranges the machine pistol, and armor penetration is unsuprisingly low.

The machine pistol is best suited as a close-quarters engagement weapon, also being good hit-and-run tactics due to its very short warmup/cooldown cycle. It's ill-advised to use the machine pistol as a hunting weapon since it'll easily send animals into a manhunting rage.

The low per-shot damage also makes it slightly worse for killing than raw DPS would suggest. As a result of this, survivors will usualy have many bleeding gunshot wounds to tend to. Therefore, it's advisable to use at least [[herbal medicine]] to be able to patch up multiple wounds per tend, unless you're confident that your doctors can patch each individual wound quickly enough.

As an earlygame weapon, machine pistols will be outclassed as you advance through the game. Weapons that typically supplant them include the [[heavy SMG]], for general skill-friendly combat, and the [[chain shotgun]], which specializes in close combat.

=== Stats ===
Against an unarmored human, a machine pistol can kill with 7 hits to the torso, 5 hits to the head or 4 hits to the neck; cripple or destroy limbs in 5 hits; and cripple or destroy eyes and digits with 2 hits. A single hit to the brain will cause debilitating brain damage, but typically won't kill unless the victim's [[consciousness]] hits 0%. It'll generally take around 11 hits (~8.3 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock. 

Overall, the machine pistol is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 12, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point.

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

=== Methodology ===
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="width:800px;overflow:auto">

<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
* 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</div>
</div>

Results in the tables below are the percentages of battles that machine pistols 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 shirt]]s, plainleather [[duster]]s and plainleather [[cowboy hat]]s.
