A Maula pistol was a hand-held weapon, used to fire poison darts. It had a range of approximately 40 metres. Maula pistols usually maintained a spring-loaded mechanism. They were popular weapons during the Wars of Assassins in the days of the Faufreluches.

These weapons were especially effective on Arrakis (where shields were rarely in use), and were often used by the Fremen.
