Best pistol and pistol attachments?

[Sahara]

What is a good setup for pistols or is it worth having pistols at all? Not class specific just general inquiry.

M1911 w/ ap ammo and extended mags.

No pistol

No way . Makarov w/ap ammo and extended mag. Easier to shoot, and costs 0 SP. And slightly lighter too (not that I think that really matters in comparison).

Is it worth getting a pistol in general? eeehhh imo not really.

Depends what you mean by "best".

For the best economical value, Makarov since it's cheap but has a short mag. It could be remedied with the extended mags which if you include AP would be equal to an M9 with AP for damage.

For best damage on hit, the M45A1 has pretty good damage since it's the largest pistol caliber in game. However the recoil does make it a bit unwieldly with the AP and extended mag I guess it could be a logical step up from the M9 but for me the recoil is a hard sell.

For best capacity, definitely the M9 since it has the most ammo for the price of a supply point. However it's best used with specialized ammo.

Though untested, I think the Model 10 holds up from most games I've played. Though recommended with the speed loader. It does packs in damage in a small magazine. Model 10 is a toss up if you want a cheap version of a M45 with damage and a low mag cap.

For the weight regardless of class, definitely have a sidearm some in handy since it could save you from awkward moments when you have to shoot someone and you run out. Even if it's a cheap Makarov without modifiers, have more ammo on you is pretty key.

In competitive pistol rounds, I prefer the Makarov with an extended magazine and AP ammo. It is the lightest pistol, meaning you can reach critical points faster than your enemy (Ministry alpha balcony, for example).

Otherwise, I have to respectfully disagree with you, Shooter-90. Sidearms add to your weight, after all, which equals to a reduced movement speed. One or two AP-rounds from an AK or an M-16 is enough to finish the job most of the time anyway - and if you don't spray too much, you shouldn't run into too many problems.

Though, on the other hand, I agree with Shooter90 in modes like Push, especially when you're on defenders side.

Depends on your class. If i'm running a sniper a m9 or makarov with AP is my go to pistol. if i'm running rifleman or fighter i don't waste the supply on it. Whenever i run semi auto or full auto weapons its just not worth having a pistol.

When i do use pistols i prefer the m9 or makarov for the lack of recoil compared to the model 10 and the .45's. I can pump accurate rounds fast with the 9mm's whereas the .45 will jump just a bit too high on its second and third shots.

Now if i'm not in a quick shoot situation the .45's can be fun to use. I typically run them in coop but pvp its the 9mm everytime.

As for attachments: ap rounds. flashlight if on a night map. I don't bother with suppressors since the supply is better used on my primary and laser sights are just worthless.

Personally for me the Makarov with AP Ammo and extended mags is good, though if you are security just upgrade to the m9 with AP Ammo (I genrally main pistols so i sink in suppressors and lasers if i have points) but I dont really enjoy the .45s because the recoil just makes follow up shots really hard so you just end up whiffing everything but the first shot. (Takes 2 hits in the chest if they have L Armor and 3 if they have H Armor)

Pistols in INS2 are much like military pistols IRL. You only use them as a backup for when you're ammo is low/gone on your primary, and for when you dump a mag on your primary but you're still in the fight.

Go with the mak w/hp ammmo (you should be firing at a range so close, you can avoid their armored points/ shoot them in the face).

Unless you're playing 5v5 Competitive.

90% of time I play totally without pistols... There are usually enough bullets in mag in primary weapons, if you dont spray too much for every kill (in a row)... In this game is possible to kill 5 players on 1 mag without bigger problems... So pistols is only more weight/go slower for me.. Only when I play with SKS or another sniper rifles I use pistol - 1911 or Makarov....

No, why would modderators do that? people just don't like Necros (bringing a thread back from the dead) because they are still subbed to the discussion and see it as "annoying" when they see an old thread in their "Comments on Subscribed discussions" tab, besides you didn't necro it, Sly Fox did.

Chances are the thread is going to be locked, it's old and has been dead for a while.
