	The Lawgiver is a deadly multi-faceted weapon, featuring manual and automatic focusing and targeting, plus an in-built computer capable of controlling its operation. It can, however, only be operated by its designated Judge owner, whose palm print is programmed into the gun's computer memory. It is programmed so that should an attempt be made by an unrecognised user to fire the Lawgiver, it will explode in that person's hand (The 1995 ] had the Lawgiver ] an unrecognised user instead).

	The gun has a maximum range of up to three miles and has six distinct settings which can be engaged by ]:
	*Standard - The standard bullet, with a fast fire rate and average damage.
	*Heat Seeker "Hot Shot"- A general-purpose shell, propelled by the unstable element, 'Argon 886'. The heatseeker locks onto its target's heat source to effectively take down the target.
	*Ricochet - A rubber coated metal round, which can bounce off surfaces, yet can still kill if it hits a person. The round is used extensively by Dredd to hit a target that is using a human shield, bouncing his shot off a back wall and hitting the target from behind.
	*Incendiary - Capable of setting its target on fire.
	*Armour Piercing - Useful against ]s and armored opponents, this bullet goes through all types of metal. So powerful, it can also travel through multiple perps (] slang for criminal).
	*Hi-Ex - A shot even more powerful than a standard grenade. Caution is advised when using the extremely volatile and dangerous "Hi-Ex" round; the splash caused by the exploding bullets can just as easily harm those firing as the target, meaning that the round can only be safely fired from a distance.

	Some publications replace the standard bullet with the ] setting but this is incorrect as the Lawgiver always has a standard fire mode.

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:

From a comics merge: This is a redirect from a comics title that was merged into the target article. This page was kept as a redirect in order to preserve its edit history after its content was merged into the target article's content. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For comics redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.

From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Misplaced Pages. See Misplaced Pages:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.

To a section: This is a redirect from a topic that does not have its own page to a section of a page on the subject. For redirects to embedded anchors on a page, use {{R to anchor}} instead.

When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
