[Question] Why the M1911A1?

PR alread has an FN-Browning Hi-Power model, the L9A1 for the Brits is one (A Mk.III in the ingame case, which is a more modern variant, but a Hi Power none the less) its simply a case of using the same weapon

Due to several discussions in recent months where forum members have made claims about "this calibre" or "that weapon", we will now be adding a need for reputable sources to any claims made in the MilTech section of the forum.

Posts made that give any kind of statistic or factual evidence (as opposed to opinion or personal experience) i.e.: "No, the maximum range for a SA-7 is THIS far..." should be backed up by evidence.

Wikipedia in itself does not consitute reputable.

Where this is need is completely overlooked, posts may be deleted without warning. Repeat offenders may be slapped with wet fish, or possibly warned depending just how bad a mood the moderators are in that day

In short, no more e-penis waving contests about your favourite piece of hardware without some proof that your e-penis really is that large, please.

Well, no need for that. It's a fact that the Colt 1911 (except if your refine the bullet or use super aute ammunitions) isn't enough powerful to get through amoured gears!!! The ammunition uses is a high-caliber bullet which one is heavy and slow, developing a very reduced energy and limiting the capacity of the weapon...

Last week-end on TV, the English (military academy historians or something like that) tried an Elizabeth's rifle and Colt 1911 on an armoured plate... The Colt's bullet didn't get through when the XVIth century rifle bullet get through...

Wasn't there a Tokarev TT-33 pistol model at one point for the chechens? I could have sworn there was that and the Mosin Nagant, both of which might see use in Africa because of their inexpensive nature.

So your an sniper on lets say Operation Barracuda,and you see a single guy,but you cant use your sniper rifle cause it will alert the squad 10 meters in the back,so you use the PISTOL.

Colt 1911 makes sense to me, after all its been massed produced for the last 101 years, produced through 2 world wars, and it really is fairly common for a pistol and according to the word of wiki twice as many 1911s have been produced as Browning High-Powers, of course sometimes its not the true Colt 1911 its some variant or copy.
