====Pistols====

*ALL pistols have a 1.1x headshot multiplier.
*ALL pistols can be dual-wielded for double the Trader's price. Dual pistols weigh 4 blocks and take longer to reload than single pistols, but they double the pistol's fire rate and magazine capacity. While your damage output will be increased if you dual-wield, you may also miss a larger number of your shots, as it is impossible to aim down the sights while dual-wielding; instead, the guns simply move closer together, forcing the player to 'eyeball' their targets. This also makes it more difficult to ensure headshots, making them more useful for close-range firepower than medium-range precision.

'''9mm Tactical Pistol'''

Basic sidearm. This gun will reliably decapitate lesser specimens in one headshot, but may not kill them, depending on the difficulty. This has the largest magazine capacity for a pistol and ammo reserve and weighs nothing, but does the least damage and has no target penetration. The 9mm Tactical also comes with a flashlight, making it useful in dark places.
*Dual 9mms
Dual 9mms are easily affordable and provide a cheap and readily-available backup weapon for all perks at early waves. Extra 9mms can be found on the ground, either spawned randomly or collected from dead players, or purchased from the Trader. While dual-wielding provides a boost to the 9mm's damage and magazine capacity, the ability to use iron sights is lost. It also weighs 4 blocks rather than the 0 for the single 9mm. Dual 9mms keep the flashlight of the single weapon.

'''Mk.23'''

Basically a more powerful version of the 9mm, the Mk.23 does more damage and is capable of penetrating 3 enemies, but fires slower, has a longer reload, lacks a flashlight, and has a smaller magazine capacity and ammo reserve. Compared with the two magnums, this weapon  lacks their damage and penetration, but has a larger magazine capacity, ammo reserve, and fire rate. The Mk.23 strikes an even balance between firepower and ammunition capacity.
*Dual Mk.23s
Dual Mk.23's combine a generous magazine size with a fast fire rate, but the reload speed is slowest of all the pistols.

'''.44 Magnum'''

The .44 Magnum is capable of penetrating 5 enemies, fires fastest of all pistols, and does more damage than the Mk23 or 9mm. This is countered by the small 6-round cylinder. It has almost equal ammo reserves compared to the Mk.23, and the slowest reload of all the pistols. The .44 does less damage and has smaller magazine size compared to the Handcannon, but has a larger ammo reserve and fire rate.
*Dual .44 Magnums
The .44 Magnum arguably benefits the most from being dual-wielded. While dual-wielding increases the reload time even further, the amazing fire rate allows the dual .44s to fire extremely damaging short bursts, which are devastating at close range.

'''Handcannon'''

This beastly handgun does the most damage of all the pistols and is capable of penetrating up to 5 specimens. It has a mid-sized magazine capacity of 8 rounds, and is devastating when dual-wielded. It now weighs 2 blocks when used alone, and 4 blocks dual-wielded, as of the December 2013 update. It also has the smallest ammo reserve of all the pistols.
*Dual Handcannons
Dual Handcannons output more damage than any other pistol, but suffer from heavy recoil and burn through their already-limited ammo capacity even faster. However, dual Handcannons make for an effective secondary weapon for a Crossbow or M14 EBR for close range targets.
