The 10mm version features a three-round burst setting. When used with the Burst Fire feat, this weapon fires only 3 rounds instead of 5, and can be used with only 3 rounds in the magazine. This setting does not grant the ability to make burst fire attacks without the Burst Fire feat; if you use the setting without the feat, you make a normal attack, and the extra two bullets are wasted.The Archer & Wesson Corporation M-523 'Moses'. .50 Action Express semi-automatic pistol (also available in a fully-automatic 10mm version) is the standard sidearm of the A&W sales brochure. Not much is there to say about the gun other than it can be used with gloves worn, it has an intimidating look, and the firepower to back it up. With custom modifications and blessings, the 'Moses' has seen a rising use by the Knights.The corporations shy from using the HKA convention of calling weapons after Biblical references (using instead others which are more fitting, like generals or legends or nicknames), but 'Moses' seemed fitting with this gun because it 'speaks with a great voice and lays down the Law'.</blockquote>
