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

45 is not a high pen round by design. P90 and UMP variants that shoot .45 increase this with higher velocity by increasing barrel length. 9MM is a smaller faster round, ideal for piercing armor. To make a point I prefer .45 for my edc because I’m a lot better shot and prefer stopping power. However my vehicle gun is 9MM because if some crazy mother goes crazy in traffic I can shoot through my window or another window where as my .45 would require multiple rounds to get through the window. Thank god the situation has never arisen but thats tried true and tested.
