PM 9mm description is wrong
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The in-game description of the PM 9mm, a makarov variant, says it uses 9x21. All Mak variants are chambered in 9x18 makarov. (they are straight-blowback operated pistols, which cannot handle much more chamber pressure than a .380 ACP), the 9x18 Makarov is very, very slightly more powerful than .380, and a 9x21mm pistol using a straight-blowback action would either need a massively heavy slide(like a low quality Hi-Point pistol) and/or a ridiculously heavy recoil spring.

To put it simply, a 9x21 chambered Makarov would be a hand-held, self-mutilating, finger amputating bomb.
As as American Ammosexual, I find this highly offensive and plan to contact the UN for discrimination and hate crime charges if this is not fixed immediately. /s

Steps To Reproduce

  2. Select icon for pistols
  3. Read description for PM 9mm
  4. Notice description says it shoots 9x21, which is what the Rook shoots.
  5. Notice the description text for PM 9mm describes it as a pistol engineered by Comrade Makarov, the damage is much lower that of the Rook, and says it is chambered in 9x21(aka 9mm Largo)
Additional Information

First post! I promise future bug reports will be more about actual gameplay issues, but this one bothered me enough to write a lightly-comedic suggestion for correction of in game text.

Event Timeline

TLDR: Change description text for PM 9mm from "9x21" to "9x18".
