ALL the pistols in this game are needlessly taking up slots and are all redundant. Allow me to elaborate:

P228: A negligible increase in power, which really is nothing on normal or higher difficulty levels. Small clip and slow fire rate make it a bad choice.

USP: A decent pistol, but it has the same power and accuracy as the beretta, which has a larger clip.

Desert Eagle: This game's deagle sucks. The fire rate and reload time are slow. Total ammo capacity is 1/4 - 1/3 that of other pistols. Its extra power is almost never noticeable.

Glock 18: The single Glock 18 is annoyingly weak. It is without doubt the weakest weapon in the game. The 3-round burst function has terrible accuracy. It has a larger clip than the beretta, but 3 extra Glock rounds will not kill another zombie.

Dual Glocks: Dual weapons. Pfft, they are just silly.

Dual Micro-Uzis: See above.

Dual Berettas: See above.


Now, let me make the case for the three pistols worth keeping:

Magnum: It's a good weapon, but rather slow, especially when it takes 2-3 shots to kill a zombie in the head. If it is to be kept, it must be a one-hit kill to the head and 2-3 hit kill to the body, no questions asked, to justify its slow speed.

Beretta 92FS: It has good power, accuracy, fire rate, and ammo capacity. It is a common military- and police-issue weapon. It has the largest clip of the other pistols and has way more power than the Glock 18 (which uses the same ammo, wtf?). A good in-between for the Micro-Uzi and the Magnum.

Micro-Uzi: This weapon is weaker than the Beretta, despite using the same rounds (9x19mm Parabellum). It is less accurate on full-auto, but has a much larger 32-round clip and a higher total ammo capacity. Perhaps a .40 version? It isn't much bigger than a regular pistol.


There you have it; 7 weapons eliminated and 7 slots for more cool stuff. Am I right?

First of all, i don't think the uzi counts as a pistol and second of all, i absolutely agree with the dual weapons being just silly(remove them).
It i was to pick 3 pistols they would be:

Magnum, high damage, small clip, semi-auto

Beretta, medium damage, medium clip, semi-auto

Glock 18, low damage, large clip, semi-auto/burst
I would personally like to see the Glock become full auto.

That is all i have to say.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Many of the handguns are the same, so it's pointless.

This is true, i mean accuracy counts in a game like this, unlike ammo capacity which is usless if someone becomes too anxious when being surrounded by zombies closing in on him, he will just panic and start spraying anywhere which i doubt he will kill anything let alone survive with the weapons meantioned above.

But as i said before in another thread, it isnt the weapons, its the game's accuracy ...

No, the models won't be reduced, stop making topics about it.

The dev team already know about this, and will remove some if they need to, surely, there's enough weapons.

Closed.
