I did it on purpose. But oh well, I guess you can call me a hypo.

My tip: Try to aim infront of you enemy if you are using the mark.

I'll take the P-226 for the SEALs, and the Glock 18 for the Terrorists. If the server doesn't want me playing with the 18, then I'll use the FS7 or DE, depending on my mood and how well I'm playing at the time.

Normally I just pick the 9mm on Seals or the F57 on Terr because they are the lightest and I can taker more heavier gear with me ;)

you now whats crazy is in my opinion the model 18 is the best gun in the game i started using it full time today and have gotten 3 MVP's and i'm a kid. Also it really is a point and shoot with the fastest fire rate possible

I like all the pistols, and I vary which one I use and my attachments all the time. I too use the Model 18 on single shot often (much more than full auto even).

Well i joined a Pistol Respawn last night while thinking about this post. First of all i would like to point out that any terrorist that uses the model 18 on auto then complains because the seals are using the 226 needs to get there brains checked. Secondly I have found the Mark 23 to be highly effective at what would be considered long range for a pistol. So if you can find a good hiding spot then strap a silencer on it and pick the terrorists off.

Though I usually carry the 9mm due to it's weight I was playing in a pistols only room the other day and found that the Mark 23 is considerably better than the Model 18 at medium range. Despite its full-auto capabilities and reasonable accuracy the few rounds that spray to the side bought me some time to get a few shots in him. Another tactic I find useful when using pistols is similar to Biohazurds tactic of rushing headlong at the guy only I back away. Rushing headlogn at the guy worls to but I find I live longer backpeddlign away from the guy.
