A common problem I find with most handguns in Battlefield is I can never decide on which handgun I can rely on to finish the job my primary weapon started. Luckily DICE made the M1911. This is the M1911 in Battlefield 4. Stats  The 8th side-arm in the secondary category, the M1911 is unlocked after earning a Handgun score of 34,000. It's lowest damage at range is 15.4 units of damage and it's maximum damage in close quarters is 36.6 units of damage. The weapon fires the unique .45 ACP round. The fire rate is rather slow compared to most other handguns. The M1911 fires only at a rate of 310 RPM, whereas handguns like the P226 fire at 400 RPM, the FN57 fires at 455 RPM and the CZ-75 at a fire rate of 380 RPM. Range is surprisingly good,  damage does not begin to drop until reaching  close or past 8 meters, you will reach the minimum amount of damage of 15.4 at exactly or pass 40 meters. Magazine size is very poor at only 7 rounds +1 in the chambe...
