Details
The HK Mk.23 is the pistol favoured by the US.
Special Operations Command, hence it's nickname: The SOCOM. The
pistol is your basic starting weapon in AQ2 but that doesn't mean
it's a last resort. The 0.45 caliber pistol has enough punch to
kill somebody outright from a headshot almost every time, in
automatic mode it has a decent rate of fire but loses accuracy at
long distances, in semi-automatic mode the rate of fire is slowed
and you cannot fire continuously just by holding down the trigger
but it is deadly accurate. The pistol can be fitter with a silencer
or a laser sight and if you pick up an enemies pistol you can use
both at once (they will be forced into automatic mode and the
silencer and lasersight will not be usable) dealing out a quick
death to any enemy who happens to stray too close.
Accuracy, reliability and power make this the most versatile weapon
in the game, it can be used for melee firefights or even for
sniping if you've got good eyesight (or IR Vision). When you're on
the battelfield whatever you do, don't underestimate your standard
pistol, it can save your life or in the enemy's hands, it can take
it.
