Trivia
The is based off of the Sig P365 The Hand Gun skin for features a humorous animation where the character fixes their thumb in full reload animation, and the other makes an "OK" gesture in a full batch reload animation. It also has a secret inspection animation where the screen inverts, with ambient music playing for 30 seconds. Like the Shotgun|, Sniper|, Revolver|, Spray|, and Shorty|, the Hand Gun skin for, The Tommy Gun skin for the Assault Rifle|, and FAMAS skin for Burst Rifle| are the only skins that have a different animation when reloading in a full batch, despite only being a skin. The Hand Gun skin for possibly references an attack Frieza from the Dragon Ball series uses which fires multiple small beams from the Index and middle fingers, very similar to the Hand Gun skin.
