The name is a misspelling of "Pistol".
The Pistal has 8,640 regular variants per barrel, and an equal number of Gemstone variants, for a total 69,120 variants.
In Opportunity, there is an ECHO Log from Handsome Jack where he mentions how bandits can't even spell pistol right when comparing Hyperion to other manufacturers.
