{{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 purchased from outlander and orbital combat suppliers, outlander settlements, or obtained from the following [[raider#Humanlike|raider]] kinds:

 

 

Despite its low per-shot damage, the machine pistol still has a respectable damage output owing to its excellent rate of fire, easily outclassing the [[autopistol]], and even going toe-to-toe with the more expensive [[pump shotgun]]. Its very high close-up accuracy and the aforementioned fire rate also makes the machine pistol an excellent weapon for low-skilled shooters, as well as general close-quarters combat. The machine pistol's also very easy to acquire due to earlygame raiders often using it as well as its relative ease of manufacture.

 

 

However, unlike the pump shotgun or even the [[revolver]], the machine pistol isn't able to stagger advancing [[human]]s or [[Lancer|human-]][[Scyther|sized]] [[mechanoid]]s. The machine pistol also unsurprisingly has poor armor penetration which somewhat limits it towards the midgame onwards, but it still manages to keep up with the pump shotgun. Almost every other ranged weapon in the game also out-ranges the machine pistol - exceptions including [[Pila|hand-]][[Frag grenades|thrown]] [[Molotov cocktails|weapons]] and shotguns.

 

 

Another result of the machine pistol's low per-shot damage is that it's very unlikely to outright kill humans, but any human that gets downed by a machine pistol will usually have many bleeding gunshot wounds that need tending. 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.

 

The machine pistol is best suited as a close-quarters engagement weapon due to its high close-up accuracy and good damage output, and it's also a good weapon for hit-and-run tactics due to its burst-shot nature and very short warmup/cooldown cycle. Due to its low per-shot damage though, as well as its relatively short range, it's ill-advised to use the machine pistol as a hunting weapon since it'll easily send animals into a manhunting rage.

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.

In Beta 19, the Machine Pistol's "Uzi" texture was replaced with the "Tec-9" texture, which had previously been used by the Heavy SMG.
