So as far as long range, accurate handgunning goes, practicality stops at about 150 yards with hunting and long before that for self defense or tactical applications, but lets play a game. For reason X I am looking to get a handgun that will shoot accurately at 100+ yards, with lethality, my choices are a 8" Magnum Revolver(standard ammo), Desert Eagle(standard ammo), Five seveN, PMR30(.22 WMR has similar ballistics to the 5.7X28mm), and a conventional pistol/caliber loaded with RCBD ammunition. Pro's Con's of all.
PMR30-Probably the cheapest ammo, 30rd mag, shot placement is key, High Velocity, low energy, light bullet, flat ballistics.
Five seveN- Expensive ammo, 20rd mag(ext. 30rd), shot placement is key, high velocity, medium energy, light bullet, flat ballistics.
Conventional Pistol/Caliber RCBD ammo-Expensive ammo, unknown performance at long ranges, shot placement may or may not be key, lots of energy, lots of velocity, medium bullet weight, flat ballistics, have to change sight adjustment.
Magnum Revolver-Limited capacity, heavy bullet, slower velocity, arcing ballistics, lots of energy, medium velocity, moderately expensive ammo.
Desert Eagle- +5 Kill points for being a Desert Eagle, same price ammo as magnum revolver, higher capacity than revolver, unique design, +1 cool points.
Let me know what everyone thinks about these options, remember I'm not disputing the silliness or plausibility of needing a 100yard plus handgun, just the best option for one. Reason X=zombies, I'm Jason Bourne, deer hunting, shooting water jugs, I'm James Bond, pick a reason you like
