Hidden Gun

"It seems to be a kind of...arma da fuoco - but as small as a hummingbird!"

―Leonardo da Vinci

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 on one of the Codex Pages, Leonardo da Vinci managed to craft one for 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. It is unlocked right after you finish Sequence Eight.

Trivia

• Altaïr is the true designer of the Hidden Gun, as Leonardo just decodes his Codex. Altaïr claims he has invented a smaller version of the weapon his enemies from the East have.
• It seems that every time you fire the gun, a dog starts barking. This is hardly surprising as dogs often bark at loud noises.
  • Strangely enough, the guards are not alerted by the pistol.
• You can find ammunition as a loot item on the bodies of guards although they aren't in possession of a pistol.
• The design and physical appearance of the Pistol is similar to a German hunting pistol knife.
• In Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines, when you connect to the PS3, you will obtain the hidden gun, but instead of firing ammunition, it fires throwing knives.
