For me, it would definitely go to the Comrade’s Hammer. Sorry Skippy, I enjoy your personality, your SMG-level magazine size, your leveled-scaling, and your ability to target 5 enemies at once, but I think the modified Techtronika RT-46 Burya wins out for one simple reason: Sheer Firepower. Yes, it’s essentially a single-shot break-action pistol, but when that single shot can tear through a ‘roided-out Animal like they were made of wet tissue paper, only to keep traveling so as to blast the unlucky Animal behind them apart with an explosive bullet that ensures that they would be getting a closed-matchbox funeral, the Soviet-sculpted, scav-shredding sidearm is definitely one firearm that I wouldn’t be caught dead without it on my person.
