Description:
The handgun is a short barrelled gun designed to be operated with one hand and usually fire a smaller calibre of ammunition.
Pros
- Handguns are small, light and only need one hand to operate them, freeing up your other hand to perform other useful tasks (opening doors, driving ect.)
- Most handguns use the same calibre of ammunition (9mm), making it easier to find suitable ammo.
- The smaller calibre of ammunition allows you to carry more rounds than larger calibres.
Cons
- In a fast paced fight involving multiple zombies your shooting may become erratic and inaccurate, leading to you becoming overrun and killed.
- The sound of gunshots could attract more zombies than you were initially firing at.
- The handgun is not very accurate at long range.
Availability
Handguns are illegal in the UK, but the number of illegal guns in the UK is estimated to be at up to 4 million. The best chance of getting your hands on a handgun is to raid abandoned army barracks or to loot dead soldiers and there abandoned vehicles.
Rating
6/10 It is an excellent side arm but as only headshots are effective against zombies it is best only used by an experienced individual.
