The WM.45 Carbine Handgun, co-manufactured by Kevin Armament Co. and WellMax, is a .45 caliber, semi-automatic, lethal anti-personnel weapon that Sam can use to defend himself against enemies.
Overview[]
The WM.45 Carbine is a compact and portable Lethal Anti-Personnel Weapon, valued for its small cargo footprint and relatively light weight compared to other lethal weapons. Like other Bridges-issued firearms, it consists of two components: the core weapon and an external shell. The weapon features a streamlined frame with an internal mechanism to chamber rounds, while the shell allows it to be treated as cargo and attached directly to Sam’s suit.

The Level 1 handgun does not use Sam's blood, making it ineffective against BTs. However, it is capable of killing humans—an outcome with serious consequences in the post-Stranding world, where death can lead to the emergence of BTs and the risk of a voidout.
In addition to Sam, this model—lacking its side mounting plate—is carried by Bridges' Corpse Disposal Teams as a last-resort survival weapon in case of BT encounters. It is also used offensively by the terrorist group Homo Demens.
The handgun can be improved with various attachments, like an optical sight and a suppressor, and the capacity of firing hematic rounds. A custom variant is also present, which can shoot golden rounds coated with chiralium, making it even more effective against BTs.
Description[]
Standard Bridges-issue WM.45 Carbine. Its side mounting plate and folding stock provide a degree of augmentability and improved stability when firing, while the cocking handle on the side makes it easier to handle.

Notes[]
- The design data for the gun is given to Sam as a reward for connecting South Knot City to the Chiral Network.
- Because the HG Custom fires golden rounds, this means that it will expend chiral crystals.
- A handgun without a side mounting plate is seen early in the game. Igor uses it to perform a mercy kill on a teammate caught by BTs, then attempts to take his own life when he is caught. This version is not available for use by Sam.
- Higgs uses the handgun as his personal sidearm, albeit without the side mounting plate and folding stock. He notably uses it to shoot Fragile and defend himself against the Red Samurai and Tomorrow.
