The F-34 Hoplite is a Terran revolver used mainly by civilians on Fringe Worlds. Relatively cheap to afford and easy to maintain, the F-34 series is the main sidearm of civilian police and militia post-Brood Wars. Though each can only hold a maximum of 6 rounds in their chambers, the stopping power of each bullet can pierce through carapaces of small to medium Zerg strains (Gears of War: Boltok Pistol). The stopping power can further be augmented with the use of adamantine rounds allowing for armor penetration.
