Does Desert Eagle suck, or do I?

I love this gun.

But in FC2 whenever I use it it's like 50% higher chance to die in a firefight. It handles weirdly. And although it FEELS right, like a very heavy big gun, I can't even aim with it properly at times. Having switched back to 1911 late in the game I found it to be much much more useful.

Anyone?

im afraid its you, the 1911 has more survivability because you fire faster fairly accurate less dmg but more shots,faster shots.

the big pistols aim at their chest - chin you will useually still ruien their day but test the kick back for you outside safe house or something and see where you revert after each shot, i can pop 2 head enough shots if the targets are close togehter, if more than 2 ememys i switch.

Well the thing is, pistols in this game are mostly a panic weapon for when you have no time to reload your primary or when it jams.

In this case you need faster fire rate over damage, which makes 1911 better for me.
Besides, since Deagle requires patience and precision aiming due to the recoil, I'd rather aim for headshots with 1911 because there's much less punishment for missing

i use the silenced pistol only now, but i did a play thru awhile ago with only pistols and smg and due to the range and stopping power bertha was used alot,1911 for back up if smg jams which they do so much it seems, it was a much diff type of game lol.

but yea for gen purpose if you only have 1 than the semi pistols are it,also drop alot of ammo.

I try to play around with different loadouts for diversity.

If I went straight for effectiveness I wouldn't have used anything but SMGs or the nade launcher in the first slot.

I did use the silenced Makarov during my 1st or 2nd playthrough, but that one I did in full stealth: silenced Makarov, silenced MP5 and Dart rifle. Was fun and very different, but I like more mayhem now)
