I did this as a joke and finished Stirrup in a single factory raid, I felt like a god amongst men, and now will always keep that 1911 in my stash as a reminder
Can confirm that's how it feels to run the PB, especially if you luck out and find PBM ammo in raid/on Fence since 28 pen makes the gun way more viable against class 2 and 3 armour (which happens to be most armour on, say, early-wipe Factory)
@@igornikitovitchnosorog874 it’s also so easy to find ammo for, and drops scavs quietly. Six shots to the legs puts them down easy, if not, they limp and bleed.
And TT is most effective in the dark entrances of apartment buildings. Most likely, the owner of the TT in real life wears a short leather jacket, a gold chain and a Turkish-made Adidas bought at the clothing market.
i started to use the .45 because the .45 vector ate to many AP rounds. but after running towards my enemy screaming "muriicaaa fck yeah" it became my favorite pistol.
I completed Stirrup with the Grach, I liked it because it has 20 bullets and can be bought along with mags and ammo at lvl 1 traders. Also, you can safely insure it because no one picks it up
you must have been lucky then, cause most people dont bring pistols into the raid and if i have an open pistol slot, i yoink that shit. I get shottys back way more often than pistols.
Honestly, I used the Tokarev a few times back in the day because I thought it would actually be effective. That was until I found out that the devs nerfed it and it doesn't reflect reality in the slightest. Also, if I'm recalling the stats right, the 200DS is actually the strongest 9mm, since it, for some reason, has the highest bullet velocity modifier.
Dude same! Ive shot the tokarev in real life and its honestly one of my favorite pistols, the bullet is bottlenecked which gives it higher velocity and it has some great armor penetration. Its a shame bsg doesn't show the tokarev some love its absolutely ridiculous how 762x25 isnt at the top of the pistol caliber list
If there is any saving grace for using the M9A3 and Tokarev TT, it is that you get to relive your John Woo fantasies from A better Tomorrow (M9) and Hard Boiled (Tokarev). As for the Rhino, a good enough revolver user can unleash their inner Ocelot and kill within 6 shots. For the USP45, unleash your inner Solid Snake with a poor man SOCOM MK23 (though he did use the USP during the Tanker arc in MGS2).
m9 is good if u run out of roubles. or prefer to spend dollars on m9. to level up peacekeeper a lot faster. and screw people who say tt33 is a meme gun. every wipe i used it only to take down scavs. or in very situational cases pmc's the round is pretty effective for a cheap pistol.
Absolutely agree! That specific config is super stylish and elevates the sights above any suppressor. Sad that the parts are trader locked for so long when 9mm isn't even that good.
I have not played Tarkov for a second, yet I binged all of these videos. I don't know why, seeing how different guns get classed, and hearing about terms for different things always tickles my brain
FOR REAL! The m9 is all i run in every early wipe, it also helps you level up peacekeeper and has nutty iron sights, satisfiying to get kills with it too
I remember one wipe using the Tokarev a bit cuz I found a guy loaded with the ammo near the start of a wipe. Got the whole decked out one and loaded it to a hatchetling on Woods, just to find out he killed the sniper that was harrassing us with it. Even came back to return it and the mags. Great memories
I wasn't completely expecting this to be inspired by Soundsmiths Stereotype series, but I am pleasantly surprised by how you managed to take inspiration while still making something your own. Well done! Time to watch the rest of what you've uploaded now.
Been a minute since I've played Tarkov, but in my time I've used the Grach a fair share of times. It's saved my life in a couple of situations too. Not as much as a *primary*, but there was a couple of times I drew it instead of reloading my primary and gave an early wipe PMC a nasty surprise, as well as plinking a few Scavs in a pinch. Liked it a lot particularly in an early wipe while carrying an SKS, VPO, or something like that. "Unremarkable" is a pretty good word for it, but its capacity and ease of use make it a pretty effective, cheap, affordable, and accessible backup weapon that won't leave you dry like a Makarov, TT, or 1911.
I want to congratulate you. To at the same time being incredibly offensive with the Tokarev joke. At the same time flying under youtube radar. A rare balance.
"Besides being the traditional way to keep housing prices down in your neighborhood..." Slip that one in there like you thought we wouldn't notice. 🤣🤣🤣
ah yes i love the stereotypes episode where soundmith got lost in an abandoned zone outside of civilized society and have to scavenge for funny ragdolls (still with his dapper on his head)
You use the Rhino because you want to be a cowboy. I use the Rhino because I want to pretend I’m playing Hunt Showdown. We are not the same. (Also the RSh is my favorite bc it’s easier to get than my real favorite gun, the ASh-12.)
I accidentally bought 4 TT pistols. I've used them in factory for the stirrup quest and actually got 2 PMC kills with it in the same raid. Pretty satisfying gun to get kills with.
Used 50cal revolver to stirrup, as I had 23 ps12b lost in my stash. Done in one raid with 8 bullets left. Now I don't know in witch backpack it is. And I focking miss your videos.
I played about 2k hours of tarkov and gotta say.. my favourite weapon is the 5.7. I hit more onetaps with it than overall kills with mk47,hk,m4 etc. Nice vid
I actually use the MP-443 quite often I usually find it on Scavs with a flashlight already on them, or can easily get flashlights attached to them they're good if you're doing night runs, or when you get the weekly task to survive factory 30 times (by going through Night factory)
I was totally expecting either the G19 or the USP stereotype being people larping as John wick with their Mozambique drills and extended mags and stuff.
I recommend Dark and Darker, played along with Fear and Hunger. Played it during free week and it was good, now however might be some major changws sooo yes (Still talking about DaD)
Shorty revolver is great for rat runs. Put it in your rig or a pocket, that way when you find something better - ideally from a rapidly cooling chad - you can put that in your holster.
Bringing a PM with a drum mag to labs with my friend was probably the most fun I've had this wipe so far, even did stirrup with it while I was at it. People underestimate that thing until they get a round of PSV to the face.
The level 1 Timmy that I bodied with a mosin on my goddamn bolt action quests had an mp443 so it can happen Also I have a prediction that more people will run either the sawed off or g18 as a secondary because both are really good at finishing off the other guy if you both have to reload Also, also the usp can be seen with a suppressor, cs style
The USP 45 with AP ammo on woods is my default side arm when I bring a bolt action rifle... I actually end up getting more kills with the USP than the rifle. Will generally two or triple tap to the chest even late wipe since people don't usually bring level 5 and 6 armor to woods until VERY late wipe. Never could get a hang of the Colt 1911, but I'll give it a shot this wipe instead of the USP just because of old-school competition shooting vibes with all the mods you can slap on that thing.
Pl-15 is F tier for the sole fact of trying to get the kill reshala quest done, killing him, and then having to find him again since he had this instead of his golden TT
I’ve used the Grach for runs that I expect to die. It’s a step up from the PM so you can reasonably counter scavs at anything beyond melee range and the irons are almost as good as night sight improved pistols without the additional cost or setup time. It embodies, “I could try but don’t want to waste time on this task.”
im gonna be honest, i used the 1911 for the first quarter of last wipe. 11rd mags + red dot + suppressor makes it into an excellent rat gun, and i even used it on full PMC runs while coordinating with my squad to kill meta chads. completed stirrup with it, and friend from the west pt1 iirc too. .45 is unassuming, but if you catch the enemy by surprise, you can drop them quick
As someone who mained pistols for years, PM is amazing if you have the right ammo. One tap thru tier 3 helmets/visors and some of the CLEANEST irons in the game IMO.
8:03 I buy the apb because it is the cheapest suppressed automatic weapon and the cheapest suppressed pistol if you want to stay quiet but want a dirt cheap sidearm in case your main gun jams or something, the apb is genuinely a great choice for the money
talking about the grach: " i don't think I've ever seen a PMC with one of these things" ... i always carry a grach if i'm using a sniper rifle or scoped weapon... it's cheap has a decent capacity and at the ranges I typically use it i'm going for face shots anyway so the caliber isnt too bad, it's literally my favorite pistol and like probably one of my top 5 used guns xD this part of the video made me cry
FACT: If you're using a 1911, screaming "TWO WORLD WARS" over and over in voip while sprinting at the enemy grants you a damage bonus.
I was about to write this.
This Is very true
I did this as a joke and finished Stirrup in a single factory raid, I felt like a god amongst men, and now will always keep that 1911 in my stash as a reminder
Still works in .14 but you get -10 intelligence for 130 seconds
Remember: 9mm kills the body, but .45 kills the soul. Gotta make sure they don't come back as a lich.
PB users are either mutated leg muchers or freaking James Bond
It's fun
Can confirm that's how it feels to run the PB, especially if you luck out and find PBM ammo in raid/on Fence since 28 pen makes the gun way more viable against class 2 and 3 armour (which happens to be most armour on, say, early-wipe Factory)
PB is my favorite. It’s my secondary to my SV-98
I like to use it with sp7, even with (a lot of) 8 rounds mags you can do some damage. Also it looks cool
@@igornikitovitchnosorog874 it’s also so easy to find ammo for, and drops scavs quietly.
Six shots to the legs puts them down easy, if not, they limp and bleed.
remember folks, for optimal reliability the tokarev is most effective when you fire at a 45 degree angle
And TT is most effective in the dark entrances of apartment buildings. Most likely, the owner of the TT in real life wears a short leather jacket, a gold chain and a Turkish-made Adidas bought at the clothing market.
and paired with the fact that the enemy is facing away from you as well.
of course, that what it was designed to do.
I personally always have six extremely built 1911s in my stash for pistol runs at all times each ready with three extra stendos full of ap
Is that a Brandon Herrera quote I'm hearing?
i started to use the .45 because the .45 vector ate to many AP rounds. but after running towards my enemy screaming "muriicaaa fck yeah" it became my favorite pistol.
I got stirrup done last wipe with 3 rounds from a 1911. Wiped a three man on factory, all headshots. Retired that pistol and named it, “WWIII.”
@buggus0034 hahaha, nice, I usually rock in and sometimes manage to get em in one raid, or get a kill, killed and progres to the next one
@@buggus0034 I did the same, 2 of my stirrup kills were with the 1911, but the 3rd kill was using an RSH-12
You forgot the "Glocktimus-prime" variant of the 17 user. The one that tries to turn the 17 into a SBR with all the mods on it.

Nothing like filling 2 backpacks with chiappas with a single bullet in the chamber in random slots and start playing russian roulette with a friend
I love how the TT stereotype is just an NKVD officer.
It fits very well
Well it's true
I completed Stirrup with the Grach, I liked it because it has 20 bullets and can be bought along with mags and ammo at lvl 1 traders. Also, you can safely insure it because no one picks it up
Recently collected 4 Grachs during a factory raid, killed all the pistolings too
Yea I vacuum up whatever is available.
i like its sights to be honest. i headshot so well with it
I keep getting my starter stach Grach back in insurance. Most recent one they took my laser but left the gun for Therapist to mail back to me.
you must have been lucky then, cause most people dont bring pistols into the raid and if i have an open pistol slot, i yoink that shit. I get shottys back way more often than pistols.

That sucks i love the tokarev
Battlestate would be the kind of people to do both of those things
@@waxdood That's weird. Out of all the 9mm pistols, the 200DS has always been the best at stacking bodies for me.
@@angrybajur It has the fastest bullet travel time, so less bullet drop over the same distance.
Dude same! Ive shot the tokarev in real life and its honestly one of my favorite pistols, the bullet is bottlenecked which gives it higher velocity and it has some great armor penetration. Its a shame bsg doesn't show the tokarev some love its absolutely ridiculous how 762x25 isnt at the top of the pistol caliber list
Now i can freely say i use makarov to clear factory thx leviticus
That 9mm revolver made Stirrup the most fun challenging 3 kills ever. I think it's the best budget handgun in the entire game.
It certainly is quite accurate. Landed some obscene headahots with it at some eyebrow raising distances.
I like how he even included that the tokarev fucks up the executions sometimes
APB is great when you are running a bolty, gives you a full-auto leg-muncher that is the price of a single G-18 drum mag
The Chiappa 200DS means you are a full time male stripper during the time you aren’t playing tarkov

9:30 "nobody calls this pistol by a default name, it's shrimp"
IT'S GURZA!
*angry soviet noises*
It's shrimp and that's a fact! Get bent!

I completed stirrup with a 1911 just as john moses browning intended
The PM(t) is going to be meta this wipe. 84 round drum mag, silencer, and finally the ability to put lights and sights on it is just amazing

Getting ripped by a Glock 18 is maybe one of the most jump scared I had

I actually really like the APB, and love doing rat runs with it
Great for scavs and the occasional pmc if you can catch someone off gaurd
The PM pistol is seen as the "poverty pistol" but real poverty homies know that the TT is 2k cheaper
In summary kids "Face shots, or no shots"
I love that you have soundsmith credit while also basically it being like a soundsmith video, it's fucking amazing
PB my beloved. the sights are weirdly easy to use and a silencer early on is a godsent. But couldn't pen a bible in a scav's chest pocket.
I wasn't completely expecting this to be inspired by Soundsmiths Stereotype series, but I am pleasantly surprised by how you managed to take inspiration while still making something your own. Well done! Time to watch the rest of what you've uploaded now.
I like my Grach. Shes cheap, doesnt get stolen too often, and dumps 18 rounds into whatever the double barrel didnt kill
The APB is like those strawberry candies that your grandma has laying around all over her house. Nobody ever buys them; they just kinda show up.
Been a minute since I've played Tarkov, but in my time I've used the Grach a fair share of times. It's saved my life in a couple of situations too.

Soundsmith would be proud
"Besides being the traditional way to keep housing prices down in your neighborhood..."

This wipe in tarkov I have learned the power of the PPSH because I killed two pmc’s in back to back raids and by some miracle survived
UUUURAAAAA!
Missed opportunity to say, "...and if you run the P226r over any other 9mm, you might be a Navy SEAL larper..."
The entire Soundsmith paradoy this goes for is very funny
I love the how you opened the video with the royalty free music and continued to loop it for 11 minutes! It's great, I love it!
Also the grach has one, and only one use, are extreamly fast fire rate
i like how people are passing the soundsmith tradition to other games
The m45a1's stereotype should have been "muh three wurld wurs."
5:36 ahh yes load up 50 rounds of hydrashock. A .45 acp round into a 9mm gun. (hydrashock is a .45 and im pretty sure he meant quakemaker)
i don't think i've ever seen so many personally agregious takes in such a short span of time
ah yes i love the stereotypes episode where soundmith got lost in an abandoned zone outside of civilized society and have to scavenge for funny ragdolls (still with his dapper on his head)
5:55 Because I have taste and self respect...
This wipe I've found myself using side arms so much more often. I've been saved by my grach at least six times.
You use the Rhino because you want to be a cowboy.
I use the Rhino because I want to pretend I’m playing Hunt Showdown.
We are not the same.
(Also the RSh is my favorite bc it’s easier to get than my real favorite gun, the ASh-12.)

Am I actually the only one who appreciates the Grach ?
I accidentally bought 4 TT pistols. I've used them in factory for the stirrup quest and actually got 2 PMC kills with it in the same raid. Pretty satisfying gun to get kills with.
Remember, switching to your sidearm is always faster than reloading

they're good if you're doing night runs, or when you get the weekly task to survive factory 30 times (by going through Night factory)
I was totally expecting either the G19 or the USP stereotype being people larping as John wick with their Mozambique drills and extended mags and stuff.
The flare gun is a solid declaration of "i am better than you"

I’ll take it. Being called Walmart brand soundsmith is still praise
I recommend Dark and Darker, played along with Fear and Hunger.
Played it during free week and it was good, now however might be some major changws sooo yes (Still talking about DaD)
I think the absolute broke pistol is now either TT or 9mm Rhino since PM got increased in price to 10k and those are 8k
God I love running the RSH, but I also like running the USP and 1911, its just so damn fun.
Shorty revolver is great for rat runs. Put it in your rig or a pocket, that way when you find something better - ideally from a rapidly cooling chad - you can put that in your holster.
I love that I immediately noticed it was inspired by soundsmith
I enjoyed the John Moses Browning name drop more than I probably should have

The 1911 is the go to weapon when you want to bring “Freedom” to Tarkov via pocket edition.

Also, also the usp can be seen with a suppressor, cs style
Youve found me, I shall now hit another 406m shot on sniper scav with the pm
The USP 45 with AP ammo on woods is my default side arm when I bring a bolt action rifle... I actually end up getting more kills with the USP than the rifle.
