Quick answer
The FX-45 is a mid-to-late game semi-automatic handgun chambered in .45 ACP. It uses detachable 15-round magazines and works especially well in close quarters. Because .45 ACP is subsonic, suppressed shots do not create the same supersonic bullet crack as 9x19mm weapons, making the FX-45 a strong quiet sidearm when paired with a Pistol Suppressor or Plastic Bottle Suppressor.
