Burst fire weaponry... As in weaponry that will do a burst of fire but cannot go full auto.

Though from what you are telling me Nadaka the game may just be flat out weird for not giving pistols semi-automatic... But still Semi-auto doesn't have nearly as much market saturation as it does today. Which may be why they didn't include it (because you could still find non-semi-auto pistols)

Though I have no idea to what extent... but it sounds like WW2 about 75% of pistols in use were semi-automatic?

[Morrigi]

See here. Almost all of them were.

Besides Revolvers are the best handgun aesthetically. Why look for anything else?

Ahem.
Not a single screw in it's design. Besides, Lugers are just awesome. Revolvers are alright but compared to a lot of guns they look bad, and they have less capacity and reload slower.

I like Lugers.... BUT you're wrong. The Colt Single Action Army is a work of art. Revolvers look beautiful to me with their elegant curves. Most guns just sorta... look like L's and are filled with too many angles. The less capacity and slower reload are part of the fun anyway. I'll maintain that reloading a revolver is much more fun than simply changing a clip.

You want elegant curves? A work of art? Not an L? Can I present to you:
The Obrez.
Beauty and Brawn all in one package. A sleek, easy to acquire handgun with a full power rifle round. Useful for partisans everywhere. You're gonna have fun reloading this beast, with no hands unhurt by recoil.
The Obrez. Everything you need in a pistol.

Jokes aside, revolvers are certainly aesthetically pleasing, just not as much as the sleeker German designs. Or the Welrod. Damn that's a sexy gun.

I misphrased. Sorry man, but the spoiler more accurately represents what I'm saying.

[Nerjin]

Meh... I just prefer the curves of a revolver. The Welrod is... acceptable I suppose.

[Morrigi]

Having only fired one handgun, I like the Beretta 92.

[Nadaka]

I definitely like my GP100. 40oz of solid stainless steel, it is very shiny. I can use mild .38's if I am going to be shooting a lot or full power .357 if I need to put a big damn hole in something. The .357mag 125grain semi-jacketed hollow point has been shown to have the best 1 shot stop of any pistol used by police including the stronger .44 magnum.

So... Apparently you can't get ammo in Australia. THANKS OBAMA!

Welp, there goes cheap 22. And everything else. Goddamit America, stop pulling this bullshit panic buying.

[Nadaka]

If its any consolation, it looks like the craze here in the US is losing steam. Listings on the local gun classified ads are down by 25%, retailers are able to keep AR-15's on the shelf, and the range of regularly available ammunition at retail stores has more than quadrupled. Now its still nearly impossible to find a regular supply of .22, handgun ammo and .223/5.56, but most other calibers are actually hitting the store shelves for at least a little while.

Meanwhile my family has profited in the scare and we have removed all needs of the .223 moving towards all russian weapons and ammunitions.

[Nadaka]

Yea, I was able to get my hands on 7.62x39 at retail twice this month (and once by trading some .38 special). I still don't have much of a supply of .357 magnum, I've got less than 200 rounds. But I can make do with the large number of .38 specials I was lucky enough to get my hands on in march. I ended up selling my .22 and its ammo for a healthy profit, so I am down to just the SKS and revolver now.
