Talk:Pistol

Merge
Might we want to murge this article with Handgun? They're basically synonyms, and serve the exact same function. I'd turn this into a redirect and transfer the entire article content to Handgun. To me, it seems like a Steel Pipe vs. Metal Pipe debate. Lord Zymeth 07:24, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * This is not really important, but I think it would be easier to navigate trough the wiki if the information on each weapons and items are put under articles with the names given them in the games they are from. Also if you do merge these articles then consider merging Target Pistol, Service Pistol, the Redeemer and the Chrome Hammer with Handgun as well. --Painocus 10:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a good point, but Chrome Hammer is already part of Handgun I think, under the Homecoming section. I think all of the guns you just listed off are different sorts of weapons though. I'm not sure, I haven't played through much of Origins unfortunately. Regardless, I think those should be kept seperate. The only reason I think that pistol and Handgun are synonyms for the exact same generic hand-held firearm. Just like Health Drink and Neutrition Drink. But like you said, it's not too important.

 * The pistols and Redeemer of Origins function exactly like the handguns from the rest of the series, except for having deferent ammo and attack-damage, and the Pistol defers from the handguns because of it's ability to use Silver Bullets. But I see what you mean so I'll agree with the merge, at least until the Pistol part grows large enough to be more then a semi-stub if given a individual article. --Painocus 16:13, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
