Makeshift Handgun

Tech Level 24. First handgun step after the Musket and Crossbow. Attack sits near 320 with a Mag 6 load, built for close-quarters shots rather than one huge musket bang. Treat it as the spare-parts pistol that opens the handgun lane before true rapid-fire arrives.

Recipe: Ingot ×35 + High Quality Pal Oil ×10 + Fiber ×30 on a Weapon Workbench. Oil is the gated mat, so park High Quality Pal Oil beside Ingot stacks and fiber baskets before unlock night. Keep a fiber buffer, because Fiber also feeds cloth and early gear crafts that compete for the same pile.

Carry Makeshift Handgun for cave clears, base defense, and mid fights where a six-shot magazine beats musket reload pacing at short range. Graduate to the Handgun when Tech 28 and more oil are online, and keep Musket for long single hits until then. Figures are for Palworld 1.0.5; recheck Tech level, craft counts, Attack, and magazine size in game after a later patch.
