M1911 (fanon)

Remember When...
The M1911 appears in the Remember When... storyline. It has a moderate rate of fire, low penetration power and moderate recoil. It is one out of five handguns available in the storyline. It has low damage, which is useful in early rounds and it is tied with the Beretta M92F for being the weakest weapon in the storyline. This weapon has a low ammo conserve of 7 rounds in the gun and 70 rounds in reserve (7+28 when a match begins.) It can only be obtained by starting a match or dying and respawning.

Effectiveness
The M1911 is a good weapon to have for early rounds, however, it quickly loses its effectiveness afterwards. It does not have a one-hit kill ability on any round. Its semi-automatic firing mode and moderate recoil can make aiming difficult if the player has a trigger finger. Firing slowly and training shots is highly advised. The M1911's low penetration power makes it useless when shooting through thin or thick objects, so avoiding objects is recommended. This weapon should be pack-a-punched by Round 8, if the player chooses to keep it that long.

Pack-a-Punched Variant
When the M1911 is pack-a-punched, it becomes the M0th3rf3r 4 u. After it is upgraded, its damage increases from 20-50 to 1000-1500. Its magazine size also increases to 10 rounds, which causes its reserve ammo to increase to 100 rounds. The reason for the huge damage increase is because the weapon now shoots grenades. This weapon can now shoot full-auto with no recoil at all, so constant firing is easy. This weapon should be traded for a better weapon by Round 21.

Salvation
In the Salvation Storyline maps, the M1911 is the starting weapon. When, upgraded, it becomes the Mustang & Sally.

Eternal Terror
The M1911 appears in Eternal Terror as Ethan's Pistol. It is unusable in the main story mode but is Ethan Sumner's default weapon in the DLC Pack Sumner's Stories.

Ethan first acquires this pistol during Chapter 0.1: Prologue after he finds it in a bin and uses it to kill Mr. Lucas, the first infected seen in the game.
