Closing thoughts

The Five-Seven is probably the most effective all-round pistol. It is accurate, does high damage and has great armour penetration. There isn't really anything negative about it. At $500 it is not particularly cheap, but it is a more consistent option for most than the Desert Eagle while still only being ~70% of its cost.

The R8 Revolver is a strange weapon as while it has exceedingly high damage, armour penetration and is insanely accurate, its delay of 0.4 seconds before firing makes it generally ineffective. It is worth noting however that this is only true when facing skilled players who react quickly; against weaker players, the weapon can be considerably more effective.

The weapon does have a secondary firing mode which allows shots to be fired in quick succession, but the inaccuracy penalty makes this a poor choice and is commonly only able to achieve a kill when at close range.
