HANDGUNS Anonymous 08-09-23 15:41:51 No.3681

How useful are handguns for war, revolution, personal protection, or in general? Why do soldiers in militaries even have handguns if they already have rifles which are better?

So you're not completely defenceless if your rifle fucks up?

Revolvers seem simpler to maintain

Revolvers are also more flexible with the ammo you can use because an automatic needs the gunpowder to fall within a certain range of energy to properly knock the slide back and eject the casing. Can the ammo fit into a revolver's cylinder? Then it's probably gonna work. Not so with automatics.

This may be important in any kind of scavenging or guerilla warfar situation.

thats true but autoloaders have more capacity which is the main advantage.

Turkish/Brazilian import guns are usually pretty cheap and reliabile

They have almost no effective range, get a rifle or die like a palestinian

Switching to your handgun is easier and faster than reloading once your rifle is empty

Can someone ID this handgun? It's tagged in the booru as "tec-9" but I just can't find any TEC-9 image that looks like this.

I guess if anyone is bored, could be fun to ID these untagged handguns.

Or for hard mode, the weapons tag.

I think that's the exact model, thanks comr8

Handguns are useful in administrative and light security roles. Soldiers irl rarely carry handguns, it's mps and officers who do mostly paperwork who carry them.

Outside conventional warfare, they are mainly useful because they can be concealed and carried anywhere easily.

exactly this. pistols braced or otherwise are good for irregular tactics in urban areas. For as much shit they receive for their choice of weapons, there’s a reason why gangs use pistols, micro arps and dracos so often. However, the efficacy of those tactics depends on the political situation, especially in the west. see the RAF for its misapplication

Are ya guys dumb? A pistol is concealable. If you could stab someone in the head, if you could punch them in the head, you could shoot them in the head. It's very easy to kill someone by surprise with a pistol. People were killing people with the fucking derringers. If you can down them, you can follow up shot to the skull and finish them.
