...does anybody even read OP's anymore?

Re: 9mm Pistols
Exactly, which is why I wanted to talk about feedback now, not further discuss his suggestion. I'm interested in hearing your opinion on the handgun rounds as it is.

Re: 9mm Pistols
As far as i can see, most pistols (like the 92fs) and the mp5_a3 uses the same "900" mm projectile (28 dmg until 45m and 0.4 dmg after 160m). That is 4 hits at body armor and arms/legs for a kill. And should be 3 hits at non (low) body armor (dmg x 1,3) for a kill.
Personally, i think with the increased accuracy (especially on the move) and the slightly increased dmg (it have been 5 hits for a body armor kill in 0.9x), the pistol plays a better role as "support/emergency weapon", especially when the ammo for the main weapon runs out or at insurgency (vs unarmored targets). |

Re: 9mm Pistols
4 hits to body armour, that's only one more than 5.56mm. That sounds more than fair, and appears to support my own experience. I do remember one time using a pistol and it somehow seemed weaker than the SMGs (which I use more often, because I'm much more likely to play HAMAS/ARF Medic or MEC Crewman than Officer, Sniper or Pilot). Perhaps that was in my imagination. I recently blew up a truck with a 9mm pistol, too, during testing. That sort of speaks for it...

Re: 9mm Pistols
There are one or two pistols with lower damage (24). One was the makarov, not sure about the other one.

The longer barel of the MP5 would add a couple hundred ft/s velocity to a 9mm round vs pistol. That minimal increase would not be enough to warrant an increase of target damage in game or in real life IMO. Would be interesting to see how it's modeled in-game though. | |
