Mr. 47s famous Silverballer
The Silverballer (or Ballers, depending on your preference) is Agent 47's trademark customizeable handgun. The Silverballer is a stainless steel-plated semiautomatic high-caliber handgun, which fires .45 ACP ammo. As stated earlier, it is capable of being customized to suit fully automatic fire capabilities. Each Silverballer is engraved with
Agent 47's famous death related lily-symbol on the grip. The Silverballers did not earn that title until
Hitman 2: Silent Assassin and in
Hitman: Codename 47 were simply referred to as the AMT Hardballer. The Silverballers are one of the many guns that are
customizable in
Hitman: Blood Money and can be equipped with magnum rounds, silencers, a scope, a red dot sight, or even fully automatic fire. Also in Blood Money, the Ballers do not start out as dual wield, although it is one of the upgrades that can be purchased. Among many things, what makes this gun efficient is the ability to conceal it but more importantly the stopping power of this hand held weapon. When equipped with Low-Velocity Ammo the punch it deliviers is reduced but in combination with a silencer who cares. It is more silent and reduces recoil, making aiming easier. This is being stated because Mr. 47 is a professional hitman so any aide in reducing sound and muzzle flash is appreciated. Mr. 47 can use such a weapon when in range of a target to send a very clear yet silent message. As Mr. 47 has stated due to the fact an assassin is the ultimate hunter, who of course hunts humans. The hunter can quickly become the hunted so skill with the gun in a shootout is very important, seeing how it can mean life or death. Mr. 47 has been seen numerous times wielding this weapon with expert skill during gunfights. When bullets begin to fly in all directions finding cover may be a last resort. Mr. 47 springs into action by drawing his Silverballer and proceeds with engaging the enemy, a most efficient technique to utilize in gunfights is strafing (sideways movement) this keeps you from being a sitting duck or in other words a stationary target, as hot lead is being thrown at you. While throwing lead back at enemies strafing provides movement while seeking the nearest form of cover. As Mr. 47 lets the Silverballers explode at his enemies he maintains a calm mind and steady trigger finger. However the Silverballer is indeed handy to keep, within grabbing distance. Hitmen never know when the hit may be out on them. Always stay alert!
