Do you use the silenced pistol the way it's "meant" to be?

I don't wear it as a hat, smoke it lieke a cigar or introduce it to my parents as "Mrs. Ty", so I think I qualify as someone who's using it as it's "meant" to be used. I kill people with it, so I put yes.

Pistol does 20, and SMG's do 19

so they do 80 and 76 damage per headshot.... yeah

fucking... fuck

they should just make headshots a kill, but whatever

Unlike CS, head shots only triple the damage. So a guns base damage must be 34 or greater to get 1 shot kills with.

And no I would never use a pistol from a sniper or spec ops as stealthy, it only comes out when I'm already screwed.

Yes. I was playing pre-scrim and I hid behind the scan radar on karkand west and got around 5-8 people.

I rarely play spec ops nowadays, but the pistol is just for backup me thinks. If they would come with silenced carbines that would be ultimate stealth.
With snipers I use the Pistol more often to take out targets that won't go down by one shot of my sniper rifle.

Well, it is pretty stealthy. I mean, come on, how many of you actually look up to see if a jeep or supply crate is coming down to rain death on your head?

And yes, silenced carbines would be a good idea. That, or substitute "carbine" with "submachine gun", for balance's sake, you know?

Kamikaze17: Over the line!; +70|7016|Mark it zero.

there have been a couple times I used the pistol to be stealthy. While baseraping places with hangors, i just silently take out the guys waiting for the jet 1 by 1. Then everyone there has no idea where its coming from. But that is until the commander spots me and then the carbine breaks loose. I don't do it that much though. I have more fun bringing in the SRAW to blow that plane up as it takes off

After the debacle that was 1.3, I learned to constantly scan for the vehicle-drop symbol and then look up if I saw it.

When I was going for veteran sniper, I made a huge part of my kills with pistol and if you click fast enough the pistol is powerfull enough to kill against any noob, so actually yes.

Oh yes I do. I remember one time in particular. I was USMC on Kubra Dam. I went into the MEC airfield and hid behind the airstrips in a ditch and I was able to come out and pick off a couple of guys withe the 92FSSD then get back down in the ditch. I killed about 12 people before I was found out/ran out of ammo.

Silencers should be an unlock you can use on certain weapons imo.

IDK if it's how it's "meant" to be used, but today I killed a guy from behind with the silenced pistol.

I agree. Just make it so it alters something. For example, since a silencer slows down a round (making it subsonic, so it is 'silent'), it should do less damage.

Ahh, imagine the wonders of spec ops soldiers with silenced M4 carbines or MP5SDs. It'd be that much more fun, and slightly less suicidal to play spec ops.

It's only suicidal if your found. Like planting C4 on a tank which enemy soldiers are rushing too, Or Ziplining over a crowd of enemy soldiers heads.

Having shown you this excerpt, do you use the silenced pistol as something other than a backup weapon? For example, you're infiltrating a base, and a bunch of guys are standing there. Do you use your "ultimate stealth" and kill them with your silenced pistol (from the shadows, obviously), or do you run in there, carbine a-blazing?

Personally, I don't, since most commanders aren't clueless enough to not notice the guy sneaking all the way in from across the map. It seems like a pretty good idea, though.

Nope. The manual makes it sound really cool but I hardly come across enemies that are just standing around. Guys that I can pick off one by one without them noticing each other and take the flag while I sit under my cardboard box.

This is why the Expert Pistol is so hard to get (apart for Pistol'n'Knife servers, of course) - you need to sneak around and then shoot multiple times. However, using the pistol as backup when your primary is out of ammo should be considered "the way it was meant to" since that's pretty realistic.

As sniper, keeping the pistol out when running between positions is also "the way" since it's the only way you'll survive a surprise encounter, unless you're fantastic with the knife.

It is possible to shoot someone in the head and not kill them.
99.999999999999999999999999999999% it will kill them.

Wrong.

.......and what's the points of trying to be sneaky? This isn't Project Reality. UAV will find you, the scan will find you and the commander will spot you. As soon as you kill one guy, everyone else will be on the hunt for you.
