Every Tier of Makeshift Handgun

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 320 to 800, a 2.5x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.

Ammunition Makeshift Handgun Uses

Makeshift Handgun fires Coarse Ammo, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.

Ammo	Yield	Craft cost
Coarse Ammo	×20	Ingot ×1, Gunpowder ×1
