I remember that Motoko is 100% sure the warlord is dead, at contrast to the other section 9 members, because she's the only one that knows it was her. I vaguely remember a pistol that she had from being the warlord, and the pistol actually tips off some terrorists tracking them because they recognize it used to belong to the warlord.
For the life of me, I read through every episode description online and couldn't find it, and the pistol wasn't in the firearms database for anythign GITS related. I know I'm missing something. Any help would be so great.
Also thanks for the community add
