Ah well, not a big suprise

Hm, wait do you mean meleeing someone in a slide is a insta incap??

If you meant someone thats knockdowned, then yeah I knew that, but the smart series claim the knock downed opponents are Instakills when melee, not just incap

Downed: knocked prone from grenade or melee
Incapped: final stand from losing all health

Meleeing a downed enemy will incap them. Then a melee on a incap will kill them (to the spawn wave)

Nothing can bypass incapped in one shot.

Well yes and no since I plan to run drognav and hockler. I can be effective at all ranges but when it comes to close work machine pistol and knife ftw!

Do you actually have a knife when using a Machine Pistol? I was under the impression that a knive comes with Pistols only.

Alot harder to knife someone if theyr aware, If you catch someone unaware you'll be better of slide attacking and then meleeing tbh.

That's the best way to use the knive, really, as it is faster than the gunbutt. So it probably readies faster as well, after tackling someone.

Notice the name 'Machine PISTOL'

Pistols come in three varieties.

Revolver
Semi auto
Fully auto (machine pistol) for example Hockler.

Machine Pistols are bigger than Pistols, though, and could be used for melee easier than a Pistol, methinks. Thus the question if they give you the knife as well...

Devs said you use a pistol you get the knife. Now SMG and higher is gunbutt.

They are held in one hand like a pistol - differentiating themselves from SMGs - and allowing a free hand to contain a knife.

Machine pistol is a broad term. Why isnt the mp9 considered a machine pistol then?

That's irrelevant (why are Uzi's considered SMGs in CoD) - the fact that they're termed it a machine pistol instead of an SMG means that you're wrong (and you know it)

Lets just keep the discussion on Brink and its pistols.

Pistols don't look all that effective as is.

Well they are only the weakest weapon in the game <_<

I dont know it sorry. mp9 = machine pistol 9. According to brinks logic it should be a secondary.

Machine Pistol generally means you take a pistol, make it bigger, and make it automatic.

Sub Machine Gun generally means you take a machine gun, make it smaller, and make it capable of easy firing hand-held.

Unfortunately, that amounts to the same exact grouping of guns.

Weakness is relative.

And often it's called PDW then. :laugh:

Oh yeah, forgot about PDW's.

Machine Pistols, SMG's, and PDW's. All perfectly distinct categories, it just so happens that they all share the same guns.

It really depends what kind of pistols we get. If there's a pistol with fast rate of fire, it could be used a finish-off weapon from range. Having the knife could open up some possibilities without sacrifacing potential knockdowns by using 2-handed primary weapon.

Weakness is relative.

True but in a general sense.

I'm curious i know that no one will probably know but i may as well ask. But will we be able to run around with a pistol as a primary and a pistol as a secondary?

Nope. Would be neat to dual gun though

Afaik it's not, because in all the footage I've seen so far, Pistols did only appear in the secondaries tab.

Damn would of been nice to be able to devote one character to pistols only. Guess I'll run and AR or SMG also i have not read the brink bible so i dont know yet i have kept my self in the dark as much as i can to keep a big surprise element to the game but. Will there be any semi auto guns besides the pistols? I know its off topic but i figured i would ask

So I was wondering if anyone is going to use the pistol the most while being a light body type? I know when you have a pistol you can knife people. I think you would have a pretty good advantage at doing so. Anyone else thinking about using the pistol more than the primary gun?

I will be using a pistol even though my character will be Medium, just for the ability to have a knife in close quarters.
