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

[sora91111]

If we're talking look the volcanic pistol in Read Dead Redemption.

 

[pwned123456]

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

apparently it is actually a construction tool

 

[DSK-]

Socom Pistol from MGS1/2

put a suppressor on that gun and you'll be invincible

God that brought back some very fond memories

 

[Zarthek]

Euclid's C-Finder from Fallout: New Vegas, and just about any pistol that you can get in the Ratchet and Clank games.

The revolver that Jim Raynor uses in some of Starcraft 2's cinematics is pretty badass as well, wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of that thing.

Edit: Mysterious Magnum in Fallout: New Vegas as well, it has it's own music for crying out loud!

Obviously the M1911A1.

The feeding ramp is polished to a mirror sheen. The slide's been reinforced. And the interlock with the frame is tightened for added precision. The sight system is original, too. The thumb safety is extended to make it easier on the finger. A long-type trigger with non-slip grooves. A ring hammer... The base of the trigger guard's been filed down for a higher grip. And not only that, nearly every part of that gun has been expertly crafted and customized.

EDIT: Ninja'd repeatedly.

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.

Infernal Gun From Disgaea it has enough power to destroy Galaxies.

 

[zombieeater6000]

Flare gun in timesplitters future perfect
always fun lighting people up with them

 

[jackpipsam]

Halo: Reach (BETA) Pistol

 

[A Free Man]

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

Haha I was just about to say the golden gun from 007 but figured it would already have been said, so I quoted to save some time : ) best gun ever.

That's cheating! No upgrading on reload times for a pistol with power greater than 17! Krauser's not supposed to be easy, he's supposed to put hair on your peaches!

 

[shadowshian]

AMT hardballer/silverballer from Hitman: Blood money with, magnum ammo, large clip, type 2 silencer and type 1 scope. my all time favorite gun i rarely used anything else

 

[rabidmidget]

The default revolver for the spy in TF2, it appears underwhelming, you can take out damn near any class other than a heavy with it if you're good with it. Also it's a revolver, which is always awesome.

 

[viking97]

the revolver, half life(s)

 

[Grabbin Keelz]

The Shortstop from TF2.

Listed as a 'peppergun', I've NEVER heard of a gun like that in my life.

I named mine the 'Peanut Popgun' :3

 

[electric method]

Carnafax Handcannon from ME2. Quite an interesting pistol. Also, I have some fond memories of the Desert Eagle from Rainbow Six 3, Black Arrow.

 

[Ramare]

Pre-Patch 1911 in Bad Company 2.

It was 100 percent accurate and killed in 2 shots at any distance, with no fire rate cap.

What the FUCK!? That thing used to be WORSE!? It's still a fucking god gun! It's right up there with the MG3 + Marksman training, the PPSh from Vietnam, period, and the Carl G with plus explosives...

On topic: the Beretta from RE5. Just kidding, that thing couldn't kill any non special with half an entire hundred round mag.

No, what I do vote, is...The Glock 18c from RB6:V2. Especially if you have the Vegas 2 rebalanced mod, which makes it have superior penetration, 17 rounds unmodded, and THIRTY-TWO rounds with +Mags. With a fully automatic setting. In a game where five shots to center mass, and you're dead, no matter what. And it fires very fast. And it is an exception on the lower end of shots to kill...

 

[DustStorm]

The Desert Eagle in Counter Strike: Source. The Deagle has alot less recoil in Source when compared to 1.6 but still retains its ability to kill in one headshot. Its the CS equivalent to the Halo 1 pistol.

Actually, there are quite a few pistols like this. Most are not "true" pistols, perse, but flichette guns. Usually, they are made/marketed with women in mind or for those looking for small and discrete firearms.

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

Of all the people... you ninja me. O3O

Anyway, the Plasma Cutter of Dead Space. Or the dual Hand-cannons in Killing Floor. In any case, the Desert Eagle and the Revolver.

 

[CupboardNinja]

I love the Pistole in Uncharted 2. Basically a one-handed shotgun.
