Enchant this gun and customize your ammo with quicksilver and you have a fast lightning gun that can be reloaded. Leo and Zoey can take this combo and both have the to pull it off.

They will both have a value of 9, which can even be boosted by 2 with the Extended Stock customization. Enough even for expert.

After the guns exhaust, you can either spend your turn reloading or have saved actions to move or do some clue getting.

You knew that you can edit your reviews right? — Django · 5197
But if you miss? — MrGoldbee · 1519
@MrGoldbee Leo and Zoey would have a Skill value of 9 with this combo. If you upgrade the Custom Modifications with extended stock, you have a value of 11. You probably won't miss. And pulling the autofail would be less bad than with other big guns, because you can reload the Luger. — stefeef · 10
ignore MrGoldbee, hes a well known troll. — Zeberdee · 1
I'm well known? Anyway, you autofail your supergun is tapped until upkeep. Not true for most weapons. — MrGoldbee · 1519
@MrGoldbee In that worst case you can still activate and ready the Luger. (But you would be taking AoO) — stefeef · 10
Oh. Oops. — MrGoldbee · 1519
But you won't ready your enchantment. So what's left is a fast attack, that's does 1 damage with a bonus damage if you succeed by 3 effectivly negating the weapons and it's upgrade bonus. So maybe a nice combo against many foes but it lacks damage against bigger enemies or groups of enemies. And also this is a 3 card combo for 8 resources and 10xp. — Tharzax · 1
Sry 9 xp. But better bring another weapon with you. — Tharzax · 1
Strong fast chaff clearing is a ton of actions spared over a game plus even if its just 2 bonus damage on bosses. Ofc you need another weapon for big things but weapons that do that cost actions to use and enchant weapon is max once a round on any weapon.. — Zeberdee · 1
hit enter mid changing text. Wish you could edit after posting on here. — Zeberdee · 1
Should say spared over a game .... plus 2 extra damage a turn on bosses — Zeberdee · 1

Since this came out with the Drowned City, obviously the number one user is Michael McGlen. Spend two bucks, a card, and a play action, and you get a refund on those dollars as long as you find somebody to shoot. Then, spend a resource to do it again twice. With Locked and Loaded, it’s an even better financial proposition: spend $2, earn $1, then earn $2 per reload. But he’s not the only great user.

Rogues are all about actions, and this is a tricky way to get a bonus action for people who want a lot of them. Winnie loves taking tests so she can spend skills. Paired with momentum, this is an easy way to take a potshot, especially with a Pickpocket & Dirty Fighting in play.

This might be the second good gun for Wendy Adams. The Bulldog lets her use agility and succeed. This gun gives her a cheap chance to fail.

It’s also a great flexible card for Ashcan Pete. Instead of always having to give up your upkeep resource to maintain Dark Horse, you can use it flexibly to reload the Luger.

Because you can reload it during off turns, this pistol is extremely flexible. And with investment, it can do strange things. Enchant weapon lets Leo Anderson attack at +9. An excellent sidearm.

Like all free actions you can use this outside your turn. For example shoot a hunter during enemy phase after they move but before attacking. — Django · 5197
Great catch! — MrGoldbee · 1519
Locked and loaded doesn't increase the maximum bullet capacity so its only good for the one extra bullet when you play it. — Spamamdorf · 5

The ability to replenish the Luger can be interesting for the cases when you need to spend ammo for an other effect than using the weapon.

Well for now the only use case is Warning Shot I think but a single Luger P08 can be used to activate the Warning Shot that you cycle with The Book of War a few times. It gives you the possibility to repel the enemies you don't want to fight and the Book of war can also cycle tactics you use for clues (Followed, Kicking the Hornet's Nest, ...). And you even have the possibility to play those tactic events as fast actions with Chuck Fergus.

To have all these cards in the same deck, I think your best (only ?) choice is "Skids" O'Toole who is also interested in using Chuck Fergus on Cheap Shot, Slip Away, Breaking and Entering and Pilfer.

And then boom them all with a good old Dynamite Blast - another Tactic ;) — AlderSign · 448
Indeed. And as a fast action and/or at -2 cost. — TribulationsSolo · 1

The Luger has very interesting potential for initiating a test and dealing damage during any phase.

Parralel Zoey Samaras can use this to net more bless tokens, and George Barnaby can use it in tandem with Gift of Nodens or Cornered to draw more cards.

Especially nice for Zoey, whose access to enchant weapon can turn this into a 1/turn 2 damage attack at base 9. Or 3 with her bless token manipulation.

Mark Harrigan may also be interested in the option to use it, but doesn't have access to the card and already has a fair few alternatives that work better for him.
