Reverse-engineered from propulsion tech this hand-cannon packs a kick. Headshots kills trigger Overdrive, locking off secondary functions while maximizing your fire rate and ammo efficiency for a short time.

FIRE MODE
Variant on TheMoon's build, specialised for the murder bird, Zephyr. Without Tornadoes, this is a ~20% burst DPS loss over TheMoon's build, although a Gas/Elec elemental set could close the gap with support from a mobbing ability like Ensnare or Larva. If you are injecting an ability though, Sickening Pulse might be a better idea than Ensnare, Larva or Air Burst.
This variant is specialised for the alt fire, as its large AoE and punchthrough interacts well with [Zephyr]'s Tornadoes to heavily multiply the damage. Use [Funnel Clouds] for even greater effect. Anything relying on aiming or headshots has been removed, as these are either unreliable or unavailable to the alt fire. Pistol Mutation is present as a necessity due to the weapon's limited ammo reserves.
Secondary Dexterity is built for (imo) [Zephyr]'s best melee options, [Tenet Grigori] and [Tenet Agendus], which have no trouble killing. Secondary Merciless is probably also fine, play around to taste.
