Pistols
The Pistols (also Twin Pistols) are Lara's standard weapons and reliable companions in many Tomb Raider games. She carries them in all the games from Tomb Raider I to Tomb Raider V - Chronicles, with the exception of the Ireland and VCI Parts in Chronicles, the first two levels of The Last Revelation and the few occasions when they've been taken away from her. After they've been dearly missed in The Angel of Darkness, they made their return in Tomb Raider Legend and since then have always been in the games.

Lara has unlimited ammo for these and will always carry two of them. They are not very effective, but most of the mortal opponents, except the skeletons and the mummies in The Last Revelation, can be killed with them. If you run and jump around a lot and circle your opponents they will suffice most of the time, even against a bigger opponent like the demigods or the T-Rex.

Because Lara is ambidextrous, she carries a pair of pistols, one for each hand. The left-hand pistol actually ejects spent casings on the left side. In TR1-5, they are the weakest weapon in the game, requiring 20-30 rounds to kill an unprotected human enemy. It is not revealed what the make and model they are, but they are chambered in a weak, small caliber (probably .22 short or .25ACP) and Larsen refers to them as "pea shooters" in TR5.

Tomb Raider Legend

Pistol in Legend

Lara carries the pistols the whole time within the adventure. In the Croft Manor level she can collect them from a secret location. The new twin pistols used in Tomb Raider Legend appear to be modelled after the HK USP Match, brought in line with the weapons carried by Angelina Jolie in the Tomb Raider Movie.

From The Official Site

Lara's signature companions. Ever reliable, ever lethal. Just like Lara. The twin pistols are counterbalanced to reduce recoil, and include custom capacity magazines.

In Game

The pistol has a total clip size of 30 rounds, which is upgradable to 40 rounds. Lara can also carry infinite amount of ammo for the weapons. Their range, clip size and damage is upgradable by collecting both bronze and silver secrets. As opposed to older games, the pistol must reload due to the magazine system in Legend. Weak and short-ranged, it is devastating in close range combat due the the fact that Lara can combine her moves with her pistol to achieve maximum efficiency.

Tomb Raider Anniversary

Lara carries the pistols the whole time within the adventure. In the Croft Manor level she needs to retrieve them first. In Natla's Mines she also has to retreve them first.

Tomb Raider Underworld

In Tomb Raider Underworld, the Twin Pistols are able to fire underwater, helping to take down any enemies Lara may encounter.
