Use and control
Brookes demonstrated his pistol by firing at Echo's ceiling and later destroyed Eastcott's arm with it. Eastcott obtained an identical weapon at the base. During their final standoff, Cylli remotely reduced both weapons to minimum power, allowing Silver and Brookes to survive being shot.[1][2]
