Pistol Stereotypes | Escape from tarkov

[@rustyshackleford1508]

FACT: If you're using a 1911, screaming "TWO WORLD WARS" over and over in voip while sprinting at the enemy grants you a damage bonus.

[@tonson5214]

I was about to write this.

[@Firefuel21]

This Is very true

[@weabootrash5891]

I did this as a joke and finished Stirrup in a single factory raid, I felt like a god amongst men, and now will always keep that 1911 in my stash as a reminder

[@RevolverRabbit]

Still works in .14 but you get -10 intelligence for 130 seconds

[@Vynirian]

Remember: 9mm kills the body, but .45 kills the soul. Gotta make sure they don't come back as a lich.

PB users are either mutated leg muchers or freaking James Bond

[@Amida-rn3ie]

It's fun

[@ThatOneFriendlyDude]

Can confirm that's how it feels to run the PB, especially if you luck out and find PBM ammo in raid/on Fence since 28 pen makes the gun way more viable against class 2 and 3 armour (which happens to be most armour on, say, early-wipe Factory)

[@KrullKama]

PB is my favorite. It’s my secondary to my SV-98

[@igornikitovitchnosorog874]

I like to use it with sp7, even with (a lot of) 8 rounds mags you can do some damage. Also it looks cool

[@KrullKama]

@@igornikitovitchnosorog874 it’s also so easy to find ammo for, and drops scavs quietly. Six shots to the legs puts them down easy, if not, they limp and bleed.

[@HeroGenix]

remember folks, for optimal reliability the tokarev is most effective when you fire at a 45 degree angle

[@StazherEzhov]

And TT is most effective in the dark entrances of apartment buildings. Most likely, the owner of the TT in real life wears a short leather jacket, a gold chain and a Turkish-made Adidas bought at the clothing market.

[@latewizard301]

and paired with the fact that the enemy is facing away from you as well.

[@konna6130]

of course, that what it was designed to do.

Is that a Brandon Herrera quote I'm hearing?

[@spliffingrat5469]

i started to use the .45 because the .45 vector ate to many AP rounds. but after running towards my enemy screaming "muriicaaa fck yeah" it became my favorite pistol.

[@buggus0034]

I got stirrup done last wipe with 3 rounds from a 1911. Wiped a three man on factory, all headshots. Retired that pistol and named it, “WWIII.”

[@benben3277]

​@buggus0034 hahaha, nice, I usually rock in and sometimes manage to get em in one raid, or get a kill, killed and progres to the next one

[@RandomFurry07]

It fits very well

[@Schrodingers_kid]

Well it's true

[@alo_bris]

I completed Stirrup with the Grach, I liked it because it has 20 bullets and can be bought along with mags and ammo at lvl 1 traders. Also, you can safely insure it because no one picks it up

[@Rosteg2406]

Recently collected 4 Grachs during a factory raid, killed all the pistolings too

[@spoot8835]

Yea I vacuum up whatever is available.

[@Swisba]

i like its sights to be honest. i headshot so well with it

[@AxiamWolfe]

I keep getting my starter stach Grach back in insurance. Most recent one they took my laser but left the gun for Therapist to mail back to me.

[@JudgeMad]

you must have been lucky then, cause most people dont bring pistols into the raid and if i have an open pistol slot, i yoink that shit. I get shottys back way more often than pistols.

[@angrybajur]

Honestly, I used the Tokarev a few times back in the day because I thought it would actually be effective. That was until I found out that the devs nerfed it and it doesn't reflect reality in the slightest. Also, if I'm recalling the stats right, the 200DS is actually the strongest 9mm, since it, for some reason, has the highest bullet velocity modifier.

[@giovannicervantes2053]

That sucks i love the tokarev

[@wolfgang_h3t]

Battlestate would be the kind of people to do both of those things

[@angrybajur]

@@waxdood That's weird. Out of all the 9mm pistols, the 200DS has always been the best at stacking bodies for me.

[@abonynge]

@@angrybajur It has the fastest bullet travel time, so less bullet drop over the same distance.

[@girthfrombirth4408]

Dude same! Ive shot the tokarev in real life and its honestly one of my favorite pistols, the bullet is bottlenecked which gives it higher velocity and it has some great armor penetration. Its a shame bsg doesn't show the tokarev some love its absolutely ridiculous how 762x25 isnt at the top of the pistol caliber list

[@typical6944]

Now i can freely say i use makarov to clear factory thx leviticus

[@slayersarge]

That 9mm revolver made Stirrup the most fun challenging 3 kills ever. I think it's the best budget handgun in the entire game.

[@Micromation]

It certainly is quite accurate. Landed some obscene headahots with it at some eyebrow raising distances.

[@helicoidsniffer1303]

9:30 "nobody calls this pistol by a default name, it's shrimp" IT'S GURZA! *angry soviet noises*

[@ambassadorofreee3859]

It's shrimp and that's a fact! Get bent!

[@Schtoinkus]

I like how he even included that the tokarev fucks up the executions sometimes

[@macrossMX]

If there is any saving grace for using the M9A3 and Tokarev TT, it is that you get to relive your John Woo fantasies from A better Tomorrow (M9) and Hard Boiled (Tokarev). As for the Rhino, a good enough revolver user can unleash their inner Ocelot and kill within 6 shots. For the USP45, unleash your inner Solid Snake with a poor man SOCOM MK23 (though he did use the USP during the Tanker arc in MGS2).

[@miciso666]

m9 is good if u run out of roubles. or prefer to spend dollars on m9. to level up peacekeeper a lot faster. and screw people who say tt33 is a meme gun. every wipe i used it only to take down scavs. or in very situational cases pmc's the round is pretty effective for a cheap pistol.

Absolutely agree! That specific config is super stylish and elevates the sights above any suppressor. Sad that the parts are trader locked for so long when 9mm isn't even that good.

I remember one wipe using the Tokarev a bit cuz I found a guy loaded with the ammo near the start of a wipe. Got the whole decked out one and loaded it to a hatchetling on Woods, just to find out he killed the sniper that was harrassing us with it. Even came back to return it and the mags. Great memories

[@ChimiChancla505]

Soundsmith would be proud

[@Triad_Orion]

Been a minute since I've played Tarkov, but in my time I've used the Grach a fair share of times. It's saved my life in a couple of situations too. Not as much as a *primary*, but there was a couple of times I drew it instead of reloading my primary and gave an early wipe PMC a nasty surprise, as well as plinking a few Scavs in a pinch. Liked it a lot particularly in an early wipe while carrying an SKS, VPO, or something like that. "Unremarkable" is a pretty good word for it, but its capacity and ease of use make it a pretty effective, cheap, affordable, and accessible backup weapon that won't leave you dry like a Makarov, TT, or 1911.

[@Menace0]

I love the how you opened the video with the royalty free music and continued to loop it for 11 minutes! It's great, I love it!

[@int3r4ct]

You use the Rhino because you want to be a cowboy. I use the Rhino because I want to pretend I’m playing Hunt Showdown. We are not the same. (Also the RSh is my favorite bc it’s easier to get than my real favorite gun, the ASh-12.)

[@paddypibblet846]

The USP 45 with AP ammo on woods is my default side arm when I bring a bolt action rifle... I actually end up getting more kills with the USP than the rifle. Will generally two or triple tap to the chest even late wipe since people don't usually bring level 5 and 6 armor to woods until VERY late wipe. Never could get a hang of the Colt 1911, but I'll give it a shot this wipe instead of the USP just because of old-school competition shooting vibes with all the mods you can slap on that thing.

Bringing a PM with a drum mag to labs with my friend was probably the most fun I've had this wipe so far, even did stirrup with it while I was at it. People underestimate that thing until they get a round of PSV to the face.

[@jamessteggy722]

im gonna be honest, i used the 1911 for the first quarter of last wipe. 11rd mags + red dot + suppressor makes it into an excellent rat gun, and i even used it on full PMC runs while coordinating with my squad to kill meta chads. completed stirrup with it, and friend from the west pt1 iirc too. .45 is unassuming, but if you catch the enemy by surprise, you can drop them quick

[@snazzycactus7535]

Pl-15 is F tier for the sole fact of trying to get the kill reshala quest done, killing him, and then having to find him again since he had this instead of his golden TT

[@nicholasbreecher9315]

I’ve used the Grach for runs that I expect to die. It’s a step up from the PM so you can reasonably counter scavs at anything beyond melee range and the irons are almost as good as night sight improved pistols without the additional cost or setup time. It embodies, “I could try but don’t want to waste time on this task.”

talking about the grach: " i don't think I've ever seen a PMC with one of these things" ... i always carry a grach if i'm using a sniper rifle or scoped weapon... it's cheap has a decent capacity and at the ranges I typically use it i'm going for face shots anyway so the caliber isnt too bad, it's literally my favorite pistol and like probably one of my top 5 used guns xD this part of the video made me cry
