Sect Pistols are a type of Crusader Firearm designed per Crusader Sect or Crusader Army with various symbolism and the sect’s insignia if applicable. They are granted to loyal and worthy members of a sect, or to those who have accomplished great deeds in an army, and are considered a symbol of pride and honour to carry around and maintain (whether or not it remains the actually primary weapon used). Sect Pistols as such make it easier to negotiate with others of the same sect or army, or sometimes even others.
It is a great dishonour to lose one’s Sect Pistol.
