The Smart Pistol scans for hostile targets within a short range, locking on to them automatically. Any rounds fired will then maneuver to hit the locked targets. Aiming with the iron sights allows the operator to use the pistol in manual targeting mode.
Pro Tip: Flamesword
The Smart Pistol MK5 is very powerful with its targeting system. Equipping the Suppressor allows you to freely roam the map without giving away your position when engaging the opposing team. I prefer this mod as it allows me to take out multiple Pilots without giving away my location.
Strengths:
Has a target system that locks on to enemies
Easily wipe out minions to reduce Titan build time
This mod increases the ammo capacity of the weapon, making it so you don’t have to reload as often.

Field Notes
The Smart Pistol MK5 is one of the most interesting weapons in Titanfall. This pistol doesn’t have the word “Smart” in front of its name for nothing. The pistol has a target zone on the screen; when Grunts, Specters, or Pilots move into the zone, the pistol will begin to lock on to the opponent. Once locked on, the player only needs to pull the trigger and the opponent will drop to their knees. The tougher the opponent, the longer you will need to keep them in your sights to lock on. Grunts require one lock on, Specters need two lock ons, and Pilots require three lock ons as they are the toughest opponent besides the Titans.
This weapon is incredible against Pilots—players just need to keep opponents in the target zone and you can wipe them out real quick. Since it does take some time to lock on to a Pilot, you want to be a bit more sneaky and approach the enemy from angles that allow you to lock on before they are able to react. If you do decide to play head-to-head with a Pilot, this weapon will still be effective as it only takes three bullets to the body, when firing manually, to take an opposing Pilot out.
This pistol is a monster against AI! The lock on feature allows you to easily wipe out a squad of four Grunts. Chill back and let the pistol lock on or rush in and just cause havoc. Be cautious if you do rush in—opposing Pilots could be waiting nearby to ambush you.
This weapon has three different mods to choose from: Enhanced Targeting, Extended Magazine, and the Suppressor. Enhanced Targeting will do exactly as it says: enhance the targeting, allowing you to lock on to opponents quicker and at a greater distance. The only down side is that the target zone is decreased. Extended Magazine will help and is recommended to players who are always in the opponent’s face to be able to fire off more rounds. The Suppressor will allow players to maximize the Smart Pistol MK5’s targeting ability. Players will be able to fight waves of Grunts without exposing themselves on the minimap, which allows them to catch enemy Pilots off guard.
