The Jackal of Hellsing fame is essentially a micro launcher with a very small blast radius built into a pistol. Against hordes of far-off enemies, it can be a powerful weapon, especially if you have Son of a Gun and/or Son of a Bitch at high levels. While the fact that it can be dual-reloaded might suggest that it was meant to be used in Dualgunner mode, as Alucard himself used it, you may also want to use it with Sharpshooter for max damage. That being said, careless use of the Jackal can destroy items and explode barrels, so you may want to keep a backup pistol handy. Although the Jackal's blast radius is modest compared to other things that go boom, it's still not a good idea to point-blank enemies using this weapon.
