Trailblazer

The Trailblazer is a double-action (classified as a semi-auto) revolver in. It is much like a pistol version of the CM Gigavolt, though in comparison, the Trailblazer has a much smaller magazine, of 6 rounds compared to the Gigavolt's 20. It deals less damage than the Gigavolt and fires faster than the Gigavolt, ever since it got changed to full auto 5 RPS compared to the Trailblazer's 8.

It's good against medium-sized groups of weaker zombies and small groups of Bloaters and their worms. Its small cylinder size means frequent reloading, though the reload time is fairly short. Unlike most pistols, which have no movement penalty, the Trailblazer reduces the player's movement by 5%. Another drawback is that it does not have infinite ammunition and uses ammunition that must be bought. It is similar in appearance to the Nitro Express .600, which is in.

Like the Gigavolt, upon striking a zombie or wall, the ammunition causes electrical arcs to chain to nearby zombies, damaging them. The amount of zombies each shot arcs to has a limit equaling the pierce.

Overall, this is a compact, portable version of the Gigavolt. Good against Shielders as shock can damage them from behind.
