What Pistol Should I Buy and do I Even Need it?

Hi @SourLotKing! ?

Welcome to the forum, full of advice and like minded players! ???

Good luck getting started, hopefully soon! ??

Did a video on this a few weeks back, aiming at beginners, check it out on my channel and hopefully gives a bit of insight? ?

Hope this helps? 
?GAMBLE?

 
Hi @SourLotKing, when playing your first few games at first and only take your assault rifle which you've already paid for and see if you like the hobby or that style of game (wood/cqb etc).  At the end of a long day of playing army reflect on the game day and count the instances when having a pistol would have enhanced the fun and your abilities.  Make you decision based on this and it will be money well spent.

 
A pistol can be useful depending on the situation. If I'm running a machine gun or grease gun and I go to a semi only area then I do NEED a pistol as the main gun has no fire selector. Also if running a weapon with a MED then you will need a pistol. For average pew though... I've taken, gassed, loaded and holstered a pistol many times and the most action its had is removing the mag to enter the safe zone. 

But then there are moments when it's saved my arse. One particularly epic one on a bunker when my battery died. My team mate steve was running low. I chucked him SLR mags, he chucked me 1911 mags. We held out and won the game.
