The '''Pistol''', or '''Hidden Gun''' to some, is one of the upgrades invented by [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] for the [[Hidden Blade]]. After discovering the design for it one of of the [[Codex Pages]], [[Leonardo Da Vinci]] managed to craft one for [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''. It consists of a small firearm with a very short barrel attached to the bottom of a Hidden Blade that, if aimed properly, can kill a target at range.

== Usage ==

The hidden gun is used for long ranged kills, as well as assassinating your targets (especially useful for moving ones). It isn't stealthy, as using it near a group of guards will likely attract attention as it makes a loud, musket-like sound once the trigger is pulled, however it is a one shot kill, if the shot hits them that is. The downside, it takes a good deal of time to aim (it can be used without aiming, but you will most likely miss even at close range); the aiming consists of four lines converging together and accuracy depends on how long you spend aiming. Aiming the gun around guards will make them suspicious.

The special attack of the hidden gun does nothing noticeable,and does nothing at all against large groups of guards. Against one or two guards, aiming the gun for more than two seconds after it is locked will cause them to lose morale and flee. This does not work against Brutes. Instead, you can just kill the highest ranking guards (Brutes and Seekers should be your first targets) to cause enemies to flee.

The Hidden Gun does not work as "one-shot kills" when battling against [[Rodrigo Borgia]] or [[Dante Moro]] (the first time you battle him; last time it does).

The gun, along with the [[Throwing Knives]], are sometimes disabled while in the Assassin's Tombs, this may be to stop the player shooting any guards that they must chase, therefore skipping large sections of narrative.

==Trivia==
* Altair is the true designer of the hidden gun, as Leonardo just decodes his codex. Altair claims he has invented a smaller version of the weapon his enemies from the east have.
* It seems that when you fire the gun, a dog starts barking, this happens every time you fire it.
* Strangely, you can find bullets on the bodies of guards although they aren't in possession of a pistol.
* It is unlocked right after you finish Sequence Eight.

In ''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'', besides the purchasable "proper" weapons and the 2-handed weapons such as [[Spears and Halberds]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio]] can use '''"improper" weapons'''.

*Brooms

*Hoes

*Rakes

*Fishing Poles

These can be picked up like 2-handed weapons. They are discarded once a fight is finished, or once Ezio sprints/climbs/enters a free running sequence. These weapons act mainly as hammers/maces. They even use the same animations and sound effects.

These "weapons" are extremely funny to use, but cannot be kept. The animations are sometimes nonsensical. For example, Ezio can slice an enemy's throat with a broom after a grab, exactly the way he does with a sword. These objects can be taken from [[civilians]]. They will drop what they're carrying once Ezio runs into them.
