the gun experts can take apart.
First of all, I had a hard time figuring out the calibers. Light
Pistols probably use .38 rounds, and Heavy Pistols probably use 9mm
rounds, but what about Hold Outs? .22 rounds, maybe? Can anyone guess?
Or are Hold Outs .38 caliber and Light Pistols 9mm (or .44) with Heavy
Pistols using a larger caliber which hasn't been invented yet? How
about .45?
Secondly, I thought SMGs were merely machine guns which use pistol
rounds. Is this correct? Are these .38 caliber or .44? Because if this
is correct, then I would think the damage (before the burst increase)
would be the same as the corresponding pistol round. I just looked,
and the Damage Level is one greater than the Light Pistol.
Finally, could you take, say, a hold out and convert it to hold a
single Heavy Pistol round? The way I've always conceived of a Hold Out
Pistol is one which is very small and which is used in close range
which you shoot someone in the face. One bullet is all you need, in
this situation, but at 4L it doesn't work too well.
