Requires: Son of a Gun 3, Son of a Bitch 3
Blocks: Finesse, Reloader, Dualgunner (keep in mind no dualgunner is a huge hit!)

Makes pistol rounds act like railgun shots (penetrate targets to hit enemies beyond the first in the line of fire), and knockback as if damage was 3 points higher (without an additional damage bonus).

Having put all one's focus into communion with the gun, one can imbue the bullets with a piece of your will, allowing them to move with unnatural force.  But to preserve this union, no distractions can be allowed to interfere.  No other guns (dualgunner), no other tricks (fast firing Finesse, fast reloading Reloader).

Somehow it seems to easy to get. And everyone would pick it, that's a definite game ender. Gun spirit should block Ironman, Tough as Nails and Dualgunner. That would at least make you more vulnerable.

Uh, what? The reason it's so powerful is because it gives you pretty-much-guaranteed knockback, thus making you almost unstoppable while firing around corners. Finesse and reloader would remove all chance of an enemy managing to outrun your knockback, which is why they were blocked instead.

Kornel Kisielewicz:
Allowing *only* the rail effect this might be balanced.

raekuul:
I'll give it a try later, see if it works right. I think (not certain yet)

1) Rail effects count as plasma damage.
2) Rail effects slash through enemies in a straight line until it hits an enemy it can't kill, who then receives knockback.

Kornel, which fire type is Railgun shot? I can't find it anymore...

This is only for pistols, right?

Sylph:
Allowing them to penetrate enemies would probably be balanced provided the trait didnt work with unique pistols, and didnt give a knockback bonus, of course.
There are so many unique pistols, I think they have to be factored into the balance of a pistol trait - you find a unique pistol in perhaps 1 out of 3 games.
