Not to be confused with the Proton Pistol in IDW Comics version used by Winston

The Proton Pistol was like a smaller version of the Proton Pack with a Proton Gun. It was slightly less powerful and couldn't hold some of the larger or more powerful ghosts by itself. Kylie Griffin almost always was the one to use it, along with the Ghost Trap.

As noted, Kylie has the Proton Pistol plus the Ghost Trap, which may be the very reason why the Proton Pistol was made. The Ghost Trap is very large and covers a good part of the back of a person. So to get a fourth blaster that could be used, they made this smaller one.
