A Luger in .45 ACP - Guns and Ammo
We all know several pistols were considered before the 1911 was chosen to be the standard sidearm. This competition included the 1911 a 45ACP Luger and the Philips 45 ACP. i think it should be added as a freebie to an event, battle-pass or event one free sidearm with every primary. A handsome pistol smaller than the 1911.
Such weapons are not uncommon like the Pedersen and many other weapons already in game. enlisted could be called a what if game for better and worse. The ho-ri tank destroyer and the type 4 heavy tank being examples. if you want include an example of a loved or hated what if weapon you want added to the game or already in the game or removed from the game.
I like the 1911 when i bring pistols along for the battle pass mission 5 pistol kills. i wish the standard loadout button included adding pistols if you have one in inventory. this gun would be a fun option and for those who think pistols do not matter nothing says you got owned like a pistol kill. I would like the standard button to arm unarmed soldiers but that is another matter to bring up later.
