AMT Hardballer Longslide

== AMT Hardbalelr Longslide .45== The AMT Hardballer Longslide .45 is a magnum pistol used by various characters of the Left On Earth series. It's a clone of the M1911 .45 ACP pistol series made by Colt, but it was upgraded to be a powerful magnum other than just a pistol.

Appearances
The AMT Hardballer Longslide was first seen in Left on Earth: Apocalypse, where Nikolai Danilova bought it from a Captain Fred Datillo, a weapons dealer and a Global Tyranny Army commander, for 150 Nicks. He later used it to kill the Two Witnesses after their 1260 days of prophesying had ended. Earlier in the novel, Nicolae Carpathia attempted to try and fight GT troops while protecting Raymond Steele and Buck Steel after the two men were framed for an assassination on Nikolai Danilova shortly before the Sixth Trumpet Judgment. It is soon used by Leon Fortunato, who assists Nicolae Carpathia in his mission. Nicolae apparently dropped the gun while fighting, allowing Leon to take it while Nicolae stole another gun from a dead Peacekeeper. At the climax of the novel, Leon Fortunato used it to initiate the "Epic Fail", a failed attempt to kill Capt. Fred Datillo while he was illegally smuggling Brazilian drugs from Rio De Janeiro into Chicago, USA. Leon was thrown in prison for the act, but Nicolae Carpathia somehow managed to smuggle the gun into his jail cell, which allowed him to escape. At the end of the novel, Nicolae Carpathia is seen with the gun holstered to his belt while he executes the "Epic Fail", a failed attempt to kill Nikolai Danilova before Buck and Nathan did. However, he never uses it.
