Baker's father was later killed in combat while firing the same pistol, which was later acquired by George Risner - Matthew Baker's close friend. The pistol would be blamed for plaguing the paratroopers of Third Platoon with bad luck; everyone who touches it (except Baker) is killed shortly afterward. Mike Dawson in particular believes this legend completely. The pistol appears in every mainstream Brothers in Arms game, but its in Hell's Highway that the legend is being widespread, although no one dies to that pistol in Operation Market Garden.
