What Good Can a Handgun Do Against an Army.....?


ALL you need to know is that armies issue HANDGUNS... if they were
useless against another ARMY then that would be a waste to carry that
weight and would be taking away from a soldier carrying something of
real value.


Obviously the people in the military believe it is a useful weapon
against their enemy and therefore useful against their own army.


I owned a Meiji Japanese WWII pistol, which I regret selling, but not the
price. It was such a piece of junk that in the actual training films,
Japanese instructors told the men that hitting the opponent with the weapon
would produce better results than trying to shoot them with it. You could
hold the weapon in your hand, and the revolving cylinder would revolve
freely EITHER WAY. The Nambus were only slightly better. The German Lugers
were fine guns, but the 9mm a little weak. 2 were produced in .45 cal, and
are about the rarest guns on the planet. The 1911 .45 was king of the hill.
The 6.5 and 7 mm Baby Nambus were very weak and not very reliable.
