When Temple arrived with the release of Warframe 1999’s Techrot Encore Update, his signature Machine Pistol called Riot-848 was also introduced.
This Machine Pistol has been modified by Albrecht Entrati himself, providing the weapon with the ability to warp bullets back to the magazine while also causing small explosions.
Modifying this Secondary Weapon can allow any Warframe to dish out tons of damage when both firing shots and reloading.
Riot-848 Stats
The Riot-848 features a quick-fire rate while also having the ability to deal additional damage whenever the weapon is reloaded. (This weapon has unlimited ammo reserves)
After shooting your targets, the bullets become embedded into them and whether you reload manually or when the magazine is empty, the bullets fly back after damaging the targets again.

Riot-848 Unique Traits
The Riot-848 warps bullets back into its magazine when reloading, which causes a small explosion at the point of origin.
This mainly deals damage in a small radius per bullet that is embedded in a target, making it possible to deal a large amount of damage after unloading a whole magazine on an enemy.
