Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols (セックス・ピストルズ) is the stand of Guido Mista featured in Part V: Vento Aureo.

Personality/Appearance
Sex Pistols is composed of six bullet like "people" living inside a revolver, numbered from 1 to 7, skipping the number 4. Each "person" has a different personality and all love to eat; if not fed, they will not work. Later in the series, their headlight-like eyes are drawn more circularly and with a dot in the middle. They are also drawn bigger and their personalities are less distinguishable.

Visibly Distinct Personalities
Number 3 is vicious and commonly shows a belligerent face. He commonly bullies Number 5.

Number 5 is a timid crybaby who is constantly bullied by Number 3. He is most often seen being on the receiving end of some kind of harm. Of note is that Number 5 would be the "4th" of the "people" if they were numbered in order without skipping 4.

Abilities

 * Bullet Control: Mista can command each member of Sex Pistols to shoot into different directions and even bounce of object or stop once its inside the target. Mista's most common use of this is to rebound within inside the target destroying his vital organs. Unlike Manhattan Transfer, each person controls a different bullet, meaning the stand is not as open to attack, though multiple people can control a single bullet. However, since each Sex Pistol must control a bullet one can trap the bullet-people and inflict damage to Mista. It is also shown in Mista's initial, yet unconscious, use of the stand that the Sex Pistols can use their ability to deflect bullets shot by other people; Number 5 has even saved Mista from three fatal shots fired by Prosciutto.


 * Reloading Speed: Mista normally does not reload his own gun, instead having Sex Pistols reload it for him. For this he uses an old six-chamber revolver. Mista can use more than one gun but finds it rather difficult to use automatic handguns, as the reloading process is impractical. Unlike Hol Horse's Emperor, it has no gun to work with by default and must always need a gun otherwise it is useless for offense. It uses real bullets, meaning it does not have unlimited ammunition like Emperor.

Trivia

 * The stand lacks a fourth member of the Sex Pistols, but ironically is similar in functionality to the Emperor, the fourth tarot card of the Major Arcana.
 * Skipping anything that involves the number 4 most likely traces back to a superstition involving the pronunciation of the number 4 in Japanese (as Shi), where Shi also is the pronunciation of the Japanese Kanji for "Death". It runs on the same vein as triskelophobia.
