Sometimes I ask myself why I always have 0 orders even tho i own so much stuff in-game.
But then I love to see everyone with a p38 pistol.
Stalingrad is a nice place for hoarding some units.

You can buy them in $talingrad and Pacific for 1 silver, if you have lots of ailver order, do it, is nice thing to have in emergency
the cost for pistol being stupidly high (2 silver or even 3 for a sidearm? wot?) is probably because some office politic mixed with brainfog.
that’s why i just stick with the cheaper pistol, not that i use them much except on snipers and other dudes i designated as “fight from afar” dudes.

Pistols used to come together with primary weapons in RNGs.
I think I may never bother to buy any new pistols.
Also, weapon price may based on CP levels where they unlocked at. Early campaigns weapons are always more expensive than later CPs.
Pistols should cost 1 silver in all campaigns

I’m not certain, because I don’t really look at stats, but I’d like to see “pistols kills” if there’s not. Because for me, that number will certainly be quite high…
Comparing pistols with other firearms, is just plain silly from the beginning.
Because pistols aren’t main weapons, they’re side arms.
It’s as ridiculous as saying “why buy grenades? Smgs are way stronger!” “Don’t ever buy tnt packs, panzerfausts are king!”
As someone who love to use riflemen with bolt actions, pistols are a must. In close range, around a corner or inside a building, I often switch to my p38, TT, or the simply phenomenal 1911 (those underestimating a 1911 are simply put, foolish). I always best other riflemen players who don’t use them, wasting time to reload, or even assaulters who I surprise with a quick, close range magazine (or cylinder) dump in a pinch.
Pistols are great. As a complement to one’s main kit. Some models are also very elegant. They should cost no more than 1 silver, any model, and I hope it will be the case when factions combine.

Right?
-
You dominate at long range with your bolty.
-
The assaulter player closes up to you (with his surviving soldiers)
-
You retreat in a house for cover
-
Assaulter rush in for an easy kill, underestimating your “poor” rifleman. Afterall, if your bolty shot miss, his smg won’t, right?
-
You down him with a 1911 or TT or whatever clip in the face.
This scenario seriously happened so often for me… ppl get cocky because the riflemen with bolties is the starter class. They usually think they’re bots or new players… I love to prove them otherwise.

I’m not anti-pistol, but I’m yet to be convinced they’re better than an axe or a sword. Of course, we can have both, but it’s a matter of orders.
different tool for different situation me think. though i admit getting axed to the back of your head in enlisted is arguably more mentally damaging than getting killed by some revolver hustling punk.
I guess it depends if charging someone is viable or not. If they’re engaged with you then the pistol is for sure better. They’re different inventory slots so regardless, there’s no reason to have the slot empty (other than if you’re short on silver orders 
)
