What is the best warfighting tool set for the brawling skill?

So Desert Eagle (-3) with Suppressor (-1), x8 scope (-1) and Extended Magazine (-1), would deal damage of Thr-1+6 crushing. Or simply Thr+5 crushing.

Does that include the damage bonus for high Brawling skill?
I suppose you could get a further +1 if you had a 'knobbed Deagle'.

I didn't include it since we're discussing a weapon, but since it uses Brawling skill, high levels of skill would add +1 damage for total of Thr+6 Crushing on Scoped Extended Magazine Suppressed Desert Eagle.

Some TL5 pistols can be wielded the same way, though of course finding a TL5 scope, suppressor and extended magazine will be impossible.

I wonder if a length of Picatinny rail (or a similar accessory-mounting system) on the barrel would count for that.
