Not to be confused with Hand Gun.
The Pistol is a short-barreled semi-automatic handgun that Johnny Cage had with his tuxedo costume in Mortal Kombat 4. It replaced his bowie knife as a weapon.[1] It functioned the same as Fujin's crossbow.
In MKX and MK11, a present Johnny carries a pistol due to becoming a member of Special Forces, however he never uses it during gameplay.
