Just what the title says. What does a Streetline look like, is it a revolver like a S&W or a automatic like a Baretta or Walther?

Seeing as the notation "( c )" is included in its Ammo stat, I'd guess that it's a semi-automatic, since it has a removable clip (magazine). Revolvers are usually indicated with the notation, "(cy)".

Hold-outs are small guns. Smaller then even light pistols.
They are the Deringer's of the SR world. A cunning and skilled assassin could make good use of a streetline. Other wise the weapon is kinda a joke in open combat.

They aren't meant to be effective guns for general combat. Holdouts are named holdouts for a reason. There the gun you hide in your boot so when your disarmed to see Mr. Shadow you still have something should things go sour.

That "streetline" looks more like a Raecor Sting, the Sr3 "lemon squeezer" pistol. I've always pictured it as looking more like a Beretta 21a, a 22LR pistol with a 7-round magazine.

Holdouts are extremely effective when fired properly, which is directly into someone's kidneys from behind. I'm too tired to google-fu it, but there have been several successful assassinations using hold outs.

a holdout loaded with stick-n-shock is just as effective as a sniper rifle loaded with stick-n-shock, at close range. moral of the story? load your holdouts with stick-n-shock ;)

of course they reduced stick and shock to 4S(e), so maybe I'll stick with my bigger guns. While I absorb that damage thanks to my non-conductive armor.

The first pic looks like a WW2 .45 Liberator pistol, with "cool tech" parts glued on.

ummm... no they didn't. it's still 6S(e). and adding nonconductive to your armor is more like compensating for the fact that electric damage ignores half your normal (impact) armor rather than facing your full ballistic armor like most rounds do. (for example, i think it's fairly safe to assume an armored jacket with a helmet for most runners. that's 9/8 for armor. reduce that to half impact and you're looking at 4 armor... with rating 6 nonconductivity, that's 10 armor... which, incidentally, is not far off the amount of armor a standard round would have faced.
