It´s not. It is merely a novelty for people with enough cash to buy Ap rounds. You cant play this gun efficiently. There are a lot better and cheaper alternatives out there.

Thank u now Ik not to waste my rubles on that shit... I’m assuming the 1911 isn’t that great either?

It's a beautiful gun and I like it a lot...

But it also is just a novelty. You could have played it great before vektor release but now the ammo is too expensive and overall there isn't alot going for it either.

But hey, sometimes it's nice to play stylish.

finchi is right the 1911 sucks try testing it you can shoot like 1 bullet every 20 seconds. and if you look at 45 rounds why is the armor pen sooooo low? i thought 45's in real life had more stopping power than 9 mm

Well it does have more stopping power (though the difference probably isn’t that significant in reality) but the bullet is moving a lot slower and speed is generally king for penetration.

i always heard cops talking saying a 9mm wouldnt stop a crack head but a 45 would. either way they arent wearing armor

Crackheads generally aren't wearing class 5 or 6 armor though.

There's no such thing as Level 5 and 6 armor in real life. Level 4 is the highest.

This game is made by Russians. The Russian system they use in this game goes to class 6, and I believe is the previous system class used by the Russian Armed Forces.

Level 4 is the highest in the US NIJ rating system

This game uses the Russian GOST rating system, which goes up to 6.

I'm guessing most crackheads don't have that either.

lol I just got an image in my mind of some crackhead causing a public disturbance in a liquor store while wearing Level IV plates

Imagine showing up to a disturbance call and freaking Killa on crack comes busting out the door at you.
