Overview:

PROS:
- Large Magazine
- Attack Quickly
- Reloads Quickly

CONS:
- Low Damage
- Low Knockback

TACTICS:
Basically an M9 Pistol with slightly reduced stats, the G-17 trades damage for magazine size. A large step up from previous semi-auto pistols, its combination of a large, quickly reloaded magazine and a high rate of fire means that the G-17 can put out a lot of fire for a pistol, allowing it to serve as a cheaper and more accurate alternative to fully automatic weapons. Its low damage does mean it may take several shots to down one zombie, which can be dangerous when combined with its short effective range. It is recommended to have the G-17 replaced in higher levels.
Recommended gear:
- Ammunition Mods somewhat compensate for its low damage, increasing efficiency.
- Extended Mags allow it to lay down even more fire before needing to reload, some even increasing reload speed, making it work like a SMG.

BACKGROUND:
An Austrian design that became the first polymer-framed handgun to achieve commercial success. It offered superb reliability, a generous magazine, and simple ergonomics - making it a hit with police forces, armies, private citizens, and hoodlums around the world.
