Summary[]
Real Life Counterpart[]
The M1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge.[1] It served as the standard-issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1986. It was first used in later stages of the Philippine–American War, and was widely used in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The pistol's formal designation as of 1940 was Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911 for the original model of 1911 or Automatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911A1 for the M1911A1, adopted in 1924. The designation changed to Pistol, Caliber .45, Automatic, M1911A1 in the Vietnam era
Tips[]
Because the Colt M1911 is a pistol, it comes with some specific caveats. While it's more mobile and easier to wield than larger weapons, it has a low mag capacity, and a lower average damage than heavier weapons such as the assault rifle. Pistols should be used in close quarters, and typically as second to more heavy primary weapons.
