Best handgun in any game and why (other than the Halo pistol, please)

[Foxblade618]

For me, I have a love for the fully leveled up Blacktail in Resident Evil 4, it reloads in less than a fraction of a second, deals a good amount of damage and has a rather large magazine.

I say no Halo: 1 pistol, because it is un-unique and is a damn super weapon. I'm curious as to what handgun you love in any game and wish you could use in other games.

 

[Aeonknight]

Plasma Cutter in Dead Space 1 and 2. Only weapon you ever need.

 

[Hybridwolf]

S&W M500 in residient evil 5. It's incredibly powerful, reasonable accuarcy, only downside is reload and recoil. But you can either have infinate ammo, or upgrade reload speed so it really only has one issue.

If a handcannon doesn't count though, the High Powered Pistol from Red Dead. Not really accurate in terms of real life, but in game it's fast firing and got a decent stopping power. Just annoying that everyone uses it in mutiplayer with auto aim.

 

[Radeonx]

The Halo: Reach pistol.
It isn't as good as the pistol in Combat Evolved, but it is still fantastic.
That, or the magnums in Serious Sam. The double ones have come in handy soooo many times.

hmm handguns now that i havent thought of before.
if i had to choose i have to say the constructo pistol in ratchet and clank crack in time
because you can turn it into a machinegun and other modifications.

 

[Distorted Stu]

The Sci-fi handgun and/or the Revolver from Timesplitters.

Shoot around damn corners!

Also a worthy mention to the .44 Special from XIII

Oh and this bad boy from 007 Nightfire

Im going to stop posting now, i have loads of entries

The Blame! pistol decimates the competition.

But to be serious, I'm kinda looking forward to see how Shadow's of the Damn's revolver handgun works. That would probably be it.

 

[thelonewolf266]

The colt.45 specifically in Cod 4 but its badass in any game.

 

[LostAlone]

I'm quite the fan of the 12.7mm pistol from Fallout. 50cal and a really sexy model. Winner.

 

[Foxblade618]

Plasma Cutter in Dead Space 1 and 2. Only weapon you ever need.

Does that really count as a handgun/pistol? I mean it's a laser blaster

 

[Roofstone]

Left 4 dead Magnum I'd say. It is a handcannon with unlimited bullets.

 

[TheIronRuler]

If a game concerning a resistance fighter being sent into a german camp, sneaking around the quarters, and waiting for a patrolling soldier - so that you could sneak around him and use the disposable one bullet pistol that costs 2.5$ to make, and then escape the camp with what you came in for in the first place, then that disposable one bullet 2.5$ pistol would be my choice.
It's called "FP-45 Liberator".

I like the Falcon 2 in Perfect Dark. Weak, but it looks and sounds really cool, and it can be useful the whole game. Also, the DY357 and Phoenix from the same game, if to a lesser extent.

EDIT: Also, the Falcon comes with modifications for certain missions, wherein it has either a silencer or scope. It doesn't sound as cool with the silencer, unfortunately.

 

[llut5at]

Desert Eagle in Counter Strike: Source hands down,both bad ass and really useful

 

[loc978]

Euclid's C-Finder, I say. It's a handgun-shaped object, anyway.

Spoiler: looks like this

Spoiler: does this

Only once a day, sure... but it's fun!

 

[GundamSentinel]

- The Mauser from Red Dead Redemption. God, that thing is powerful.
- The Mk. 2 pistol from MGS4. Tranquilizer rounds with incredible precision and range.

 

[Best of the 3]

HL2 Revolver was a beast. *BOOM* *thud* *Bwargh!* *Beeeeeeeeep*

 

[Denariax]

Actually I'm changing mine to the Gun Del Sol from Boktai.

Infinite sun ammo.

 

[didom]

Probably the Desert Eagle in Counter Strike. It kills everything in two shots.
