Re: [Question] Why did the pistols get removed?
Perhaps to make the classes reflect their real life counterparts as well as make room for the shovels?

Re: [Question] Why did the pistols get removed?
In real life not many soldiers got pistols (at least thats what someone said, and im sure he knows a lot more about fighting then you do. Beacuse he invented it then he perfected it, then he put 2 of every animal on a boat and beat the shit out of them)

Re: [Question] Why did the pistols get removed?
Most infantry soldiers don't get a sidearm in real life. In fact in some militaries regular infantry soldiers don't even get a chance fire one. Usually higher ranked officers are issued handguns as a sidearm.

Re: [Question] Why did the pistols get removed?
IRL a pistol + ammunition is just more weight.
If you stick with your squad, there's no need for you to resort to your sidearm for defence. > if everyone is laying down fire, you'll have plenty of time to reload your primary sidearms aren't necessary since bf2 doesnt take into account how wieldy each weapon is - you can clear a room with a m9 as easily as g3 - one less reason to have sidearms. |

Re: [Question] Why did the pistols get removed?
it's to make officer on officer CQB more fun
 nothing like it when you both run outta ammo going crazy on full auto around a rock and then the pistols come out |

....
http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f10-...0-sidearm.html http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f18-...ts-pistol.html http://www.realitymod.com/forum/f18-...s-pistols.html 2 minutes of searching afaik IRL many soldiers buy their own sidearm because it is not issued as standard, which i guess is why they ppl think every1 has one |
