Forum:BF3: M1911 vs MP-412 REX

 First, some stats: 

m1911 :: .45 cal :: 9 rd mag :: reload 1.5s

MP-412 :: .357 cal :: 6 rd mag :: reload 3.5s

So, the MP-412 is lower caliber, has 2/3 the mag size, and takes over twice as long to reload... I haven't done much field testing, but I can't see any reason to pick the MP-412 over the m1911.

The only thing I can think of is that the higher muzzle velocity of Magnum rounds (in the MP-412) amounts to higher damage, in spite of the lower caliber. Even so, it can't be that much, and the mag size & reload time issues make it still a questionable choice. A few hundred extra feet/second can't make that much difference, can it?
