Essentially a shotgun revolver with a clockwork-driven cylinder, the Striker was originally designed in what was Rhodesia and found its initial commercial success upon its introduction in South Africa. The original design, known as the Armsel Striker, was drafted in the early 1980s. An improved iteration known as the Protecta was developed later - and there were some foreign clones and licensed copies manufactured, such as the Sentinel Arms Striker-12 and the Cobray Streetsweeper. The Striker fires standard 12-gauge shotgun cartridges. In-game, the Striker has good range but poor damage when compared to the other shotguns. It fires only 6 pellets per shot, unlike the 8 fired by most other shotguns (Ranger and Masterkey excluded) The low damage is made up for by a generous cylinder size - 12 rounds - and a healthy rate of fire, capable of up to about 300 rpm if you can pull the trigger fast enough. The range is only bettered by the SPAS-12, single 1887 and the Masterkey attachment, and although low the damage is more consistent than most shotguns. The Striker will kill in one shot at point blank range, but for the majority of its effective range you'll need to get more than one shot on target. With a quick trigger finger this usually isn't too much of an issue. If you're effectively using the Striker as your primary weapon, the most effective blue perk would be Marathon, as the closer you are to the enemy the more effective the Striker will be. If you're using it as a secondary for anticipated close quarter engagements, I'd recommend Sleight of Hand to speed up the otherwise lethargic reload. Cartridges are inserted individually, and the process is lengthy if you've depleted the cylinder entirely. I'd recommend refilling the cylinder whenever you are in a relatively safe position - even if you
