Phantasy Star: Fringes of Algo

Aside from the Bowgun, a stylized crossbow, the only gun-like weapon depicted in the Phantasy Star II game manual is the Silent Shot. This pistol has a segmented barrel that might remind us of the silencer attachment used on guns in many action movies. None of these segments appear removable like that, however. The pistol generally does not do great deal of damage, but it has paralyzing properties that can make it useful. One might think a small weapon like this could be fired with a single hand, but it does require two hands in the game. Perhaps it has a strong recoil, or perhaps the paralysis shots require a very steady aim.

Good drawing of the Silent Shot : the silencer is surely what the name of the weapon implies.
The fact that it is a two handed weapon is indeed a bit strange as it's really a pretty weak weapon ; maybe the paralysis add makes it really worth ?

Hello ! 'been a LOT i didn't came on this site...

Why do i see Silent Shot does little damages ? It does no damages at all ! Perhaps it is just because it is held by the weak Amy and i'm only on BioSystems Lab, but...

So yes, the paralysis can help, but it has, just by experience (so this is probably not the real number), 50% accuracy. Real problem is Amy is slow, so plays after all ennemies, and in the second turn, heroes (except Amy) play before ennemies, and finish them ; all in all, Silent Shot is not very useful... But what Amy can do instead ! I'm considering buying her 2 Ceramic Knives, but... 2.800 $ each !

Amy: Oh, I never liked firearms anyway. You're sure you can't use this, Rudo?
Rudo: Naah. I prefer the big guns, like laser cannons! Or shotguns! Those are awesome! >=D

The silent shot isn't too useful. It can stun an enemy, and by the time Amy can take her go, one more shot will likely kill the monster anyways.

I think Amy actually starts with a Silent Shot in PSGen2. I know her animation of her attacking with it shows her firing it two-handed.

Oh, hey, I just remembered...

The Silent Shot can be used against NeiFirst, and it can do about 100 damage to her.

I wonder if it does the same to Dark Force and/or Mother Brain..

Hmmm, "requires two hands". Sounds a bit troublesome.
