Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Sidearms!!!

Ok, this is what I found, maybe there's more, I'm really not sure, but take a look, seems pretty awesome to me when I was going thru the information.

Wait...have you seen the trailer yet? If not click here...


The Handguns

The default go-to sidearm for MW2, these standard handguns are your best bet for consistent, classic play.

USP .45


The H&K (Heckler & Koch) .45 makes its return from the first Modern Warfare and for good reason. A reliable sidearm that many competitive players use well after their gold cross is completed. The iron sights are manageable (though they block targets with the middle pin), it's a quick pistol, and with a 12 round mag size you can feel comfy in equipping stopping power instead of relying on sleight of hand all the time.

Not a bad gun to have on your hip. When you line someone up for that must-hit shot, you'll be glad you have that fellow to aid you!

.44 Magnum Revolver


You'll have to deal with a decent amount of recoil, a slower reload time than the comparable Desert Eagle (also confirmed, but not yet playable), and only six bullets per reload.


The Machine Pistols

A bit more random in fire and smaller in capacity than standard SMG's, these quick-burst weapons hold some serious potential in hardcore modes and when using the akimbo, stopping power, or sleight of hand perks.

PP-2000


As the first machine pistol in Modern Warfare 2, the PP-2000 is a pretty balanced firearm that can be used as a standard go-to weapon in multiplayer. Available with the Akimbo perk and pretty decent from short to mid range in multiplayer, the 2000 is like a MW2 equivalent to the mini-uzi or Skorpion. While not as hard-hitting as full-on SMGs, the 2000 has 20 bullets, can hit at a pretty effective range, has a nice mix of accuracy and damage, though it'll take longer to reload than your standard sidearm.

Glock 18



While the PP-2000 is a nice "ease-in" weapon for those starting with machine pistols, the Glock 18 is a weapon that demands a steady hand and precise shooting. The gun's standard mag holds 18 shots (two less than the 2000), but fires at an insane 1200 shots per minute, which is well over the estimated 800 or so by the 2000. As a plus, the added accuracy inherent to the Glock automatic design means you won't see too much more blowback when compared to the 2000, but it's still there. With a faster rate and less rounds the Glock is empty almost instantly after firing, so if you don't have your enemy in-sights, don't bother.
