If you were a soldier and you had to pick a main weapon, and an assault sidearm, what would you choose? For me: Main weapon: AK47 Assault sidearm: Browning Hi-Power modified to fire .40 S&W cartridge (I was gonna' say M16A2, which was my favourite rifle, but then I decided against it because the AK47 was more rugged, although less accurate.)
Main: AK-47 with sniper attachment (increases accuracy) Sidearm: 9mm handgun (.50 cal handgun just seems kind of cheap to me) Although if we could have any weapon.... Main: Side: What?
I'd take one of the accurized M-4 carbines done by the USAMU for the rifle role and probably a Glock 22 or a Hi-Power in .40S&W for a side arm.
Yeah, a Desert Eagle does seem a bit cheap. So I'll say no pistols larger than a Colt .45, my new weapon of choice.
there were 2 made in .45 for testing by the us army but we went with the colt/browning 1911. only one 45 luger remains oh and early lugers were 7.65
Main weapon for me would probably be a FN FAL or an M14 Side arm probably a H&K MP7 or a Glock (18 I believe) in .40
I think I banned Desert Eagles because they're too unfair. I mean, .50 cal. shots trump all other handguns ever made.
Depedns what you're looking for I think. I was merely pointing out that i thinkn a .50 cal handgun was kinda cheap...doean't make it cheap for anyone else.
.50AE will have its downsides, ie. controlability, the recoil of such a large round isn't very controlable and it might be better to go for a smaller projectile
