Item #: SCP-3962
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3962 is to be stored in a standard handgun transportation case located at the Site-██ armory. SCP-3962 must be stored in an undisclosed location within Site-███ (location is to be selected and moved every ██ weeks by the Site-███ Site Director) and sealed within a 50x50cm container, guarded by no less than two (2) Level 3 personnel.
Following Incident 3962-1, Only Level 3 personnel and higher may do testing on SCP-3962 with Level 4 authorization required from no less than three (3) Level 4 personnel. Testing of SCP-3962 has been suspended indefinitely without the unanimous approval of no more than four (4) O5 Council Members.
Description: SCP-3962 appears to be a Colt M1911, standard issued to personnel in the United States military. The only unusual aspect of its appearance is that no known official variant of the handgun was manufactured with the design of SCP-3962 at any time period, as well as the phrase “Ego igitur habito” (roughly translating to “I am, therefore I live”), is engraved on the bottom-left side of the handle. Oddly, the phrase looks like it was handwritten, rather than engraved by a machine.
SCP-3962’s anomalous properties do not occur until it is held by a sapient, conscious human and is loaded with at least one (1) .45 ACP, hereby designated as SCP-3962-1. When held, personnel report feeling a raise in confidence in their shooting ability, and believe they can hit just about anything.
When an individual aims at or in the general direction of thinks about its ideal target, or targets (referred to as SCP-3962-2 upon discharge), and fires SCP-3962, SCP-3962-1 will hit said target(s) without fail, no matter the location. SCP-3962 does not lose velocity at any point until all SCP-3962-2 instances have been hit. 100% of testing has shown this to always be the case, as SCP-3962-1 seems to break all laws of physics and is able to penetrate any surface in order to hit its target(s)
Addendum: See Incident 3962-1
Test Log 3962-10A
Subject: D-3962-5
Procedure: In order to test just how far SCP-3962's anomalous properties extend, D-3962-5 was instructed by Researcher ██████ to fire SCP-3962 at 2 targets aligned back to back. It should be noted that at this time, SCP-3962-1's ability to be assigned to hit multiple targets at once was unknown.
<Begin Log>
Researcher ██████: D-3962-5, please proceed to the testing area and pick up SCP-3962.
D-3962-5: What? You mean this pistol right here? What is this? A test?
Researcher ██████: It's not a test. Please proceed to pick the object up.
D-3962-5 proceeds to pick up SCP-3962 and holds it at various angles in his hands
D-3962-5 Haha, hey, this thing's feels pretty neat to hold. Feel like a sharpshooter already.
Researcher ██████: Is that so? Please proceed to fire SCP-3962 at the target at the end of the room, imagine hitting the bulls-eye.
D-3962-5 fires, and hits the bulls-eye perfectly
D=3962-5: Wo-Woah! You see that shit?
Researcher ██████: Lovely. Please proceed to hit the second target without aiming down the sights. Again, picture yourself hitting the bulls-eye.
D-3962-5: Haha! With this aim of mine, I could probably pop each an' every one of ya in this institute before you could get a shot on me!
Once D-3962-5 fired the weapon, SCP-3962-1 proceeded to [DATA EXPUNGED] all ████ Site-██ personnel, causing █ Euclid and █ Keter SCP containment breaches. Mobile Task Force Epsilon-11 "Nine-Tailed Fox" assigned to take the facility back and retrieve SCP-3962 from D-3962-5, resulting in another ███ fatalities.
Results: MTF unable to re-contain all containment breaches, forced to activate the Site-██ Omega Warhead after successfully extracting SCP-3962. SCP-3962 moved to Site-███.
Analysis: As devastating as this was, you know, losing an entire facility and all, we did learn just how devastating this weapon was. It could've been worse had we found out another way.
~Dr. █████
The following is a message from O5-█, addressing the confusion the staff at Site-███ have about SCP-3962.
I'd like to address some concerns some of you have regarding SCP-3962. A lot of you are wondering why it takes so much clearance in order to test this thing, even though it's considered "Safe". I've said it a thousand times; "Safe" doesn't mean an anomaly is "Safe". That's why it's an anomaly.
I don't give a damn what magnitude of a breach happens, what PoI needs to be terminated, or, hell, I don't give a damn if every damn rival GoI we have shows up at the site's doorstep ready to take it over. You are not, NOT, to let anyone near 3962.
Imagine what would happen if somebody were to think "I wonder if I could hit every D-Class with one shot!" Or, "I bet I can hit every O5 Council Member from here!" Or, in the worst case, "I bet I can hit every guy on the planet!" And let's just say that person were to discharge SCP-3962 right then and there. The fact that anybody who happens to be holding this thing can single handedly cause an XK-Class Scenario is well beyond reason why this thing should not be tested.
