I’m not surprised. you know when you use a sniper guy, but close enough to the battle? ppl tend to underestimate you and charge ahead. If you’re waiting with a good pistol… Most of the time they end up quite sorry!

I think the best handgun in the game is the m1911 out of all the factions and it’s pretty promising.

i feel like pistols are in a pretty good place balance wise at the moment
most are fairly effective (fuck you Negant 1895, useless piece of shit), but not quite as good as a primary weapon. making them an emergency measure, only to be used if absolutely needed. some might call it a sidearm

I disagree. I’ve gotten more than a few guys with the M1911
You need to stop using garbage pistols. Try a P38 or a Luger or even a c96. You will notice the difference.
Always avoid the entry level pistols!!

c96 in CQC Is Amazing if your primary Is a Bolt action, imo they are fine like this.
good enough in CQC useless in any other case

Myb knocked soldiers should be able to shoot with the pistol? I’ve never used pistol in my 35 levels of normandy or 20 in moscow

Nah I still had ammo, I just decided to use the pistol
Honestly, pistols are fine for the moment but are too expensive to get. It is a side army mostly useful for
- Snipers with scoped BA rifles
- Semi and full automatic equipped soldiers without the large ammo pouch
- Radio Operators
- Any first soldier of the squad which you use instinctively first just for the fun sakes
I would equip pistols to every soldier if they wouldn’t cost silver order cards which is absolutely nonsense.
The lower tier pistols should cost 3-5 bronze order cards and high tier, 20, or ok 1 silver order card.
Like the German pistols apart from the PPK, the British Webley and the M1911 and the TT-33 are fine fr me.

Its more or less logical but their silver prices are insane. Maybe silver orders itself are questionable.

no this is totally not true xD of coulse if you use the standard pistol they are useless but for example on Normandy campaign, especially the amrican p1911 is very very strong and also the german pistols are very good…you just need to be able to use them and btw pistols never were used to “run around in close quarter combat” , they have a way lower muzzle velocity than most of the guns and even though their caliber is bigger it makes almost no difference… for example the Kinetic energy that is “transported” by the bullet is: E(kin) = 1/2 * m(mass) * v²(velocity)
When i use them, its because i run out of ammo on my normal guns of just for fun
And of course :
probably you would not but with such a weak bullet like the one the walther PP and PPK use, you probably would keep running, or at least you would not die,except the bullet hits a vital Organ

You my friend either have a skill issue, are using the wrong pistols or both.
I do agree that some are too weak. Mostly revolvers. But some pistols are incredibly effective. If you know how to aim and quickly notice targets, they’re a very nice cqc weapon.
Something like a Walther P38 (my personal favourite) or a high-power are actually very effective weapons.
And that’s just bullshit. 3 shots max and the enemy is dead. If you have a problem with hitting arms and legs, that’s your personal issue.
Plus you reload very quickly.

Imo one of the worst automatic pistols in the game, but ok.
he is right…with the Walter PP you sometimes really need 4-5 shots, only to knock the Enemy then in the worst case

How? Doesn’t it have the same damage as the C96?
no it has slightly less… 5.0 dmg on 10m and the C96 has 5.3 i also dont know why these 0.3 make such adiference but for some reason it does
