The Fort-12 (named Fort-12Mk2 in Shadow of Chernobyl and Fora-12 in Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat) is a 9x18mm semi-automatic pistol appearing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat.

Background

It was designed in the late 1990s by Ukrainian firearms designer RPC Fort. Currently, this gun is issued to the Ukrainian police and security forces. It is also sold on civilian market. The Fort-12 incorporates improvements over the Makarov PM.

Overview

The weapon is primarily used by rookie Loners and Bandits along with experienced Duty members, and veteran and expert Military elements. It uses 9x18mm bullets.

Appearances

Shadow of Chernobyl

The Fort-12Mk2 is sold by Sidorovich at a low and affordable price after you get the flash drive from Nimble. Wolf will award you with a free Fort-12Mk2 along with some spare ammo and grenades if you single-handedly clear the vehicle yard of Bandits. The Fort-12Mk2 is slightly less reliable and has lower handling than the PMm, but is considered significantly better in the areas of ammunition capacity and accuracy.

---

Clear Sky

The Fora-12 still performs better than the PMm but has lower handling. It can be bought from a variety of traders and uses the same upgrades used by most 9x18 caliber weapons. A free slightly upgraded Fort-12 is available to the player after accepting the job to kill the Military rescue squad attempting to rescue Major Khaletskiy. The Fora-12 is primarily used by experienced Loners, Bandits, some Duty members, and of course, the Military. You can also find a few experienced Loners who have this pistol with a few modifications. This weapon can be upgraded at Yar's hangar to accept 9 x 19 ammo. With the capacity upgrade as well it makes for economical stopping power throughout the levels..

Call of Pripyat

This pistol has become somewhat rare, since stalkers at the center of the Zone need better weaponry. It is sometimes possessed by rookie Loners and Bandits, as well as some Zombified Stalkers. The fastest way to find this pistol is to either take the steel box from the Unreachable Zaporozhetz and ask Cardan to open it or investigate Stingray 2 crash site and loot the pistol from one of dead bodies.

It may not look good, but actually is one of the better (if not the best) post-USSR pistols available to player, since it has a spacious magazine (16 rounds after upgrade), is accurate, reliable enough (it doesn't jam as frequently as in Clear Sky) and has the ability to change caliber to the more powerful 9x19 mm. When loaded with 9x19mm PB1 rounds, it can quite easy kill weaker mutants (such as blind dogs or fleshes) or unaware zombies, making it an useful weapon for minor threats.

Depiction

The letters Форт-12Р (Fort-12R) you can see mean that this isn't the Fort-12 combat weapon, it's a Fort-12R model which fires traumatic rubber bullets. (See Fort-12R page at RPC Fort site. The in-game image is slightly different (the game developers added extractor and some space for it).)
