Handguns, The Best Weapon?


Recommended Posts

Seriously the rest of the weapons have been nerfed so much that I can shoot a fully automatic gun right in a snipers f'n face and all he has to do is pull out his side arm. This has happened hundreds of times. It does not matter if I got the drop on him or not.

The M1911 without a doubt. That thing has saved my ass so many times.

I like the Magnum as well though...but it's only really good if you don't miss, otherwise you're waiting at least a few seconds before it's reloaded and ready to go.

Haven't used too many of the other pistols in the game yet to be honest, so I can't vouch for them. I know a lot of people like the burst pistol, but I haven't been able to find it very useful at all.

I'm pretty sure if you were shooting it in his face he would die quicker than you say but I do agree, when I am playing the recon kit I usually don't even snipe I just run around with the pistols. Just a quick question to anyone who has unlocked the 412 Rex, does it have alot of recoil? Most of the pistols have little to no recoil imo and I was hoping the Rex would have atleast some.

I've never had this problem unless they hit me with a headshot, I can do it every once in a while because most people have bad aim and I have a really twitchy trigger finger so I can empty the MP 443 in about a second, and I know alot of other people with a good finger too.

 

Maybe you are just one of those people who cant aim.

The Grach is the best gun in the game

 

This. Definitely. Love that thing.

 

M9-3 Is the best pistol in this game. Period, no questions asked, hands down.

 

This on the other hand I don't get at all. Before the damage increase it was easily the worst thing in the game. Now I can kill 2 enemies with a magazine if I'm lucky, and that's at point blank range. Maybe I'm using it wrong or it's just a symptom of lag, but to me the Raffica is average at best. In any case it still beats the MP-412 lol.

i didnt know the M1911 had a 17 round mag

I use the MP-443 because I can pull it out and plug off rounds very fast with it when I get caught with an empty primary. It's also accurate and very effective/amusing to use against people who can't aim - an engineer got the jump on me, but his aim was so bad that I had time to pull out my pistol and put some in his face.

That's because it doesn't, he doesn't know what he's talking about. The one in the game is WWII era (duh) and has a 7-round clip. Modern ones have an 8-round clip, though I can tell you from experience (I own one in real life! :eek:) that loading 8 rounds in a clip will lead to frequent jamming.

 

Personally, I use the 1911 in the game. It's stupid accurate if you can actually aim and has great power to back up that accuracy. Try sniping with it sometime ;)

I carried a 1911 class .45 in the Army, we used 12 round mags and always kept a round in the chamber...amazing handgun, lethal accuracy and minimal recoil for a .45.

 

Almost all of the spec ops (Delta, Force Recon, Berets) use a customized 1911 as well, often with a 15 round mag...I always found them too long, it made the weapon cumbersome. As far as the Raffica, accuracy on it irl is terrible, massive recoil, low stopping power as it's a 9mm...yet in the game it can be amazing if you aim properly, I've taken out 3 people in a row with two trigger pulls...it was 3 snipers lined up behind a rock, lol.

 

The only weapons that really compete with the pistols now are the M14 and the VSS, IMO.
