The TimeSplitters 1 version of this weapon is semi-automatic. It has a magazine capacity of 20 and can fire standard bullets at a fairly fast rate. It also has a secondary fire of low-velocity ricocheting bullets that deal much more damage, though this mode fires fewer rounds per second. These ricocheting bullets can bounce about the room and hit you as well as your opponent. When "if best" is switched on, the Scifi Handgun ranks as the 6th best weapon on TS1, on the same level as the Assault Shotgun and Shotgun (x2).
