##### **Overview:**
**PROS:**
- Low Ammo Cost
**CONS:**
-Small Magazine
-Low Damage
-Short Effective Range
**TACTICS:**
While packing a slightly bigger punch than its counterpart, the PPM-9, it does, however, have a lower RoF and reloads more slowly. They are nearly identical in effectiveness otherwise, and both will be useful in early on. It possesses a small magazine and is short ranged, making it advisable to replace it with a stronger firearm later on. ***Recommended gear:
***- Ammunition Pouches/Bandoliers increase reload speed, allowing survivors to get back into the action quicker.
- Ammunition Mods increases its low damage, making it more efficient.
- Extended Mags extend the magazine size, allow it to fire more rounds. Some variants increase reload speed.
- Glasses increases its low effective range, with some variants increasing accuracy as well.
**BACKGROUND:** An adaptation of the classic Prohibition-era snubnose. In its heyday it was quite popular due to its small size and ample stopping power, resulting in it being widely carried by law enforcement and private citizens. Renewed for the concealed-carry market, this model has been remade to take the rimless 9mm Parabellum round.
A common firearm sold throughout North America.
##### **Variations**
The Tauron 9mm has no modular variations.
