These are some new pistols I think would be perfect for each factions.
FB vis 35
Used by both Soviet forces and German forces after capture of these weapons during conflicts with Poland. Roughly 49, 000 of these pistols were made out of the 90,000 order. The Russian models that were captured were renumbered and reworked. The Germans took over the factory within Poland that created these weapons so both factions use these.
Chambered in: 9mm
Magazine: 8 round
Production year: 1935 - 1945
Colt pocket hammerless 1903
Used by American forces during world war II very similar to the model 1908 with the exception of different types of ammo used. The 1903 model was purchased for and used by Japanese officers.
Chambered in: 32 ACP
Magazine: 8 round
Production year: 1903-1945
Amount produced: estimated 570,000 (between 1903 and 1908 models)
Cold pocket hammerless 1908
Used by American forces during world war II as an upgrade for the Colt pocket hammerless 1903. Notable difference was a change in ammunition type.
Smith & Wesson victory model
This revolver is known by many names, including Smith & Wesson 1899, Smith & Wesson military and police, and Smith & Wesson victory model 10. Produced in large quantities during world war II among many lend lease weapons sent to the UK, Netherlands, and others as well as used by US forces. Models included 4,5 and 6-in barrels.
Chambered in: 38 Long Colt, 38 special, and British 38/200
Magazine: Six round chamber
Production year: 1899- present
Production amount is over 6 million units.
I fully support the type 26 revolver. I honestly feel like every nation should have a revolver. The only ones that have them now are the Soviets and the Americans/British (Western Allies). I’ve done extensive research on all the different weapons and equipment each nation could have so I’m quite familiar with the type 26.
It’s not German but it would fit due to the Germans having Italian equipment in their tree.
This is the bodeo 1889 revolver.
This revolver was captured from the French, while the previous revolver was designated “revolver 680 (i)” this one was designated “revolver 637 (i)”. So that gives the Germans a few picks in terms of adding a revolver to their sidearms.
British 38/200, is almost identical to 38 special. It’s the same ammo they used in the Webley MK IV, and the Enfield pistol. They just had a weird way of naming their ammo.
Thats the leftover sh!t from the stalingrad campaign.
So they cant removed it
You can see all the mess on the bug report forum it has caused when they removed the breda mod 38 for the soviets
If you really think about it though the Germans had access to every pistol ever made, much like the Soviets the Germans were kleptomaniacs. So it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility. One reason why I said the FB Vis would be perfect for them, they took over a production factory that made that semi-automatic pistol. The only reason why the Soviets got their hands on some of them and there’s no official number on how many they obtained was because they hit the factory around the same time when both were sieging Poland.
Kongsberg Colten 1914
That would make for an interesting pistol, and that would give the Germans something similar to the 1911.
Magazine: 7+1 in the chamber
Using .45 APC
Good find on a factory the Germans took over production on. So far I think each of these are really good additions. I’ve seen a few posts in various forums about world war II sidearms That’s what gave me the idea for a few of these weapons and pushed me to do the research.
@James_Grove
Has there been any talk of new sidearms for any of the factions?
British trying to not use some stupid naming system. Their best contribution to designations was “Lee,” “Sherman,” and I’d assume “Stuart” starting the tradition of naming our equipment after various things. Tanks are famous military leaders. Helicopters are Native tribes. Ship names were already as they are now, states and famous leaders. I am genuinely blanking out on other naming schemes. Lol. Our planes are just kinda named whatever and is determined by the manufacturer, but dang I love that we occasionally reuse old names. Waiting to see a Mustang II
.38/200 was the British designation of .38 S&W, the only difference is the powder load and bullet weight. The 200 came from the weight of the bullet, 200 gr. Which was almost the same as the “Super Police” version of the cartridge.
Wrong .38/200 wasn’t almost identical, it was identical, just not to .38 Special but to .38 S&W.
.38 Special is not the same as .38 S&W.
.38 Special is 9x29mmR
.38 S&W is 9×20mmR
