Additional comments. This pistol, also known as the Browning Hi-Power, fires a single shot for each pull of the trigger. It's 13 round magazine is a distinct advantage in a close-in fighting. The weapon may be fitted with a silencer (wt. .545kg).

Found in Weapons Load outs: Medical #1 and #2.
1,2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12,13,14,17,18,19,20.
Special note Load out #19 is the only one that comes with the silencer.
Note that a silencer needs to be fitted to a pistol with a threaded barrel. Therefore it is not available to be loaned around the team unless the threaded barrel goes with it. That would require field stripping the pistol a matter of a few minutes. Not practicable in combat however.

A silencer will muffle the report but do nothing to silence the sound of the bullet breaking the speed of sound. To achieve the "quietness" featured in movies special sub-sonic ammunition is used. This ammunition does not break the speed of sound and will not produce the loud crack sound that conventional bullets do.

A silenced HP-35 used with out sub sonic ammunition is still effective especially at night. The silencer will contain the unburned powder and will not have a muzzle flash. This protects the firers night vision and does not disclose their position in the darkness. The with the muzzle blast contained the origin of the shooter will difficult to pin point and become a general "over there" direction. Remember penalties if any one shooting back cannot see, and cannot hear.

Postponing the timeline (18 Nov, 1989) gives the possibility of tritium night sights, visible and IR laser aiming aids, and a broad range of customizable features.

Additional Comments: A snub barreled, heavy framed revolver. It can fire both .38 Special as well as .357 Magnum ammunition (E-Factor = 8 with .38 special). The short barrel on this weapon allows it to be more easily concealed.

Revolvers also allow for other types of cartridges such as snake shot. Revolvers are not something easily silenced, due to the combustion of the propellants in the cylinder and the slight (.002-.005) gap between the cylinder and the barrel allowing a small release of gases.

There are revolver designs that lend themselves to making a silenced revolver such as a Nagant, this is not one of those designs.

Found in Load out #10.

An excellent choice for the outdoors man that would like the challenge of taking game with a handgun. A revolver with the power for the hunter or camper that may be about in bear country.

As a revolver there choices in cartridges such as snake shot.

The size and weight are a negative in concealment, though a model with a 2" bbl exists because the consumer asked.

High cyclic rate requires two handed operation in fully automatic mode (fun switch full on), the small strap foreward is to assist the operator with muzzle climb.

Turning the weapon sideways (gangster hold) does allow full auto fire and takes advantage of muzzle climb sweeping the muzzle from right to left. This is not accurate fire but makes for a suppression techniques should a player need to "break contact".

On another note. This weapon can also come chambered in .45 ACP. There is a slightly smaller version the M11 that comes in 9mmP or .380ACP (though not interchangeably)

Found in Load outs: #9,

Another design that lends itself to using a silencer. Favored by operators for the "fist meets fist" fast reloading. This is due to the magazine well also being the grip versus so many designs with the magazine well fore or aft of the grip. Especially in the dark or the dust of a serious firefight.

Israeli Military Industries (IMI) manufactures "Submachinegun Ammo" this is a hotter (more gunpowder) version of 9mm Parabellum. The round has a higher velocity and a corresponding bump in damage, though strongly discouraged for use in auto pistols with the possibility of catastrophic failure.
