Season 6 War Ablaze (Sept 23, 2025) pushed Delta Force toward a sharper gunplay meta: precision is rewarded, random spray is punished, and sidearms matter more than ever. Pistols decide clutch moments—when mags run dry, when a fast swap beats a slow reload, or when mobility wins the duel.
This guide distills DFT's testing into clear stat tables + real reviews for all seven pistols: G18, G17, Desert Eagle, 93R, .357 Revolver, M1911, QSZ-92G. We also map them to playstyles (rush, burst, precision, budget) and ammo (9×19 PBP/RIP/AP6.3/Pst/PSO, .45 ACP, .357 Magnum, .50 AE).
As always, Delta Force Tools lets you copy verified gun codes in one click, so you can try our recommended kits, compare recoil, and lock in your favorite sidearm without guesswork. If you need attachments, ammo, or seasonal unlocks, BuffBuff is the official top-up route for safe, fast upgrades and periodic discounts.

DFT Review
Think 'pocket SMG.' At 1172 RPM the G18 can dump 33 rounds in ~1.6 s, making it the highest panic-switch DPS in the class. Recoil is lively; learn a steady downward drag and short bursts at 5–10 m. With RIP for soft targets or PBP as a safe default, it erases enemies behind light cover.
Best for: Room entries, emergency swaps, finishing downs.
DFT Verdict: Our easiest path to wins. If you tolerate recoil, the G18 is Tier-S.
DFT Tip: Grab our G18 rush preset in Delta Force Tools; then use BuffBuff for a quick attachment unlock cycle.
93R: Burst Specialist (DFT Recommended)
Ammo: 9×19 mm | Combat Value: 15,015
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 34 |
| Range | 22 m |
| Control | 44 |
| Handling | 67 |
| Stability | 38 |
| Accuracy | 78 |
| Fire Rate | 508/min |
| Capacity | 12 |
| Mode | 3-Round Burst |
| Muzzle Velocity | 400 m/s |
| Gunshot Sound | 300 m |
DFT Review
The only burst-fire pistol. Each trigger pull sends three tight shots—perfect for peek-and-recoil rhythm. Pair with AP6.3 when armor is common; otherwise Pst/PBP are stable. New players love how it 'feels auto' but still lands accurate volleys at 10-20 m.
Best for: Head-height peeks, angle holding, mobile defense.
DFT Verdict: The most beginner-friendly high-ceiling sidearm in S6.
DFT Tip: Copy our 93R burst preset on DFT; run the cone-check drill (5 bursts per target) to lock muscle memory.
Desert Eagle: Hand Cannon
Ammo: .50 AE | Combat Value: 16,210
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 56 |
| Range | 35 m |
| Control | 40 |
| Handling | 66 |
| Stability | 39 |
| Accuracy | 71 |
| Fire Rate | 207/min |
| Capacity | 7 |
| Mode | Single |
| Muzzle Velocity | 340 m/s |
| Gunshot Sound | 300 m |
DFT Review
A highlight machine: two taps delete most targets, one tap punishes mistakes. But misses are lethal—follow-up delay + heavy kick demand discipline. Great as a statement pistol in confident hands.
Best for: Slow jiggle peeks, upper-torso taps.
DFT Verdict: Spectacular when mastered; inconsistent for grinders.
DFT Tip: Try our Deagle tap preset; if you lack mats, top up via BuffBuff when discounted.
.357 Revolver: Precision & Pride
Ammo: .357 Magnum | Combat Value: 12,744
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 56 |
| Range | 35 m |
| Control | 34 |
| Handling | 62 |
| Stability | 43 |
| Accuracy | 65 |
| Fire Rate | 182/min |
| Capacity | 6 |
| Mode | Single |
| Muzzle Velocity | 340 m/s |
| Gunshot Sound | 300 m |
DFT Review
Highest mod potential in class (can be tuned toward 'sniper-style' sidearm) but reloads and capacity punish errors. When you hit your shots, time slows; when you whiff, fights end.
Best for: Patient aim, high-value picks.
DFT Verdict: High-risk, high-reward. Not for shaky hands.
M1911: Classic Soldier's Choice
Ammo: .45 ACP | Combat Value: 15,849
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 40 |
| Range | 15 m |
| Control | 39 |
| Handling | 65 |
| Stability | 40 |
| Accuracy | 67 |
| Fire Rate | 373/min |
| Capacity | 7 |
| Mode | Single |
| Muzzle Velocity | 400 m/s |
| Gunshot Sound | 300 m |
DFT Review
Balanced, steady, zero drama. Taps feel crisp; recoil is easy to track. Limiter is .45 ACP availability and the 7-round mag. If you value fundamentals over flash, this is your pistol.
Best for: Tactical backups, DMR/sniper secondaries.
DFT Verdict: Quietly excellent.
G17: Practical Semi-Auto
Ammo: 9×19 mm | Combat Value: 4,523
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 27 |
| Range | 27 m |
| Control | 42 |
| Handling | 70 |
| Stability | 70 |
| Accuracy | 75 |
| Fire Rate | 462/min |
| Capacity | 17 |
| Mode | Single |
| Muzzle Velocity | 400 m/s |
| Gunshot Sound | 300 m |
DFT Review
Light recoil + clean timing make it the most approachable pure semi-auto. Damage ceiling is modest, but its stability enables consistent double-taps at mid-range.
Best for: Budget kits, learners building tap discipline.
DFT Verdict: Great early-season workhorse.
QSZ-92G: Budget Backup
Ammo: 9×19 mm | Combat Value: 4,660
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Damage | 34 |
| Range | 27 m |
| Control | 55 |
| Handling | 64 |
| Stability | 41 |
| Accuracy | 77 |
| Fire Rate | 375/min |
| Capacity | 15 |
| Mode | Single |
| Muzzle Velocity | 400 m/s |
| Gunshot Sound | 300 m |
DFT Review
Cheap and serviceable but lacks identity. Works as an emergency sidearm or placeholder while you grind. New players can start here, but swap out once resources allow.
Best for: Early progression, lightweight kits.
DFT Verdict: Usable; overshadowed by 93R/G18.
Ammo Reference (Quick)
l 9×19 PBP: balanced penetration; safe default.
l 9×19 RIP: soft-target shredder; best for CQC with G18.
l 9×19 AP6.3: armor-piercing; pair with 93R bursts.
l 9×19 Pst / PSO: stable/flat for tap control.
l .45 ACP / .357 Magnum / .50 AE: caliber-locked for M1911 / Revolver / Deagle.

For New Players | Quick Practical Tips
Remember: in Delta Force pistols are backup weapons, not your main guns.
1️⃣ Emergency finishers
l Use your pistol to finish kills or defend yourself when your primary is reloading or out of ammo. A fast pistol swap often wins clutch fights.
2️⃣ Pick by playstyle
l Close-range burst / rush: pick G18, full-auto chaos with massive short-range DPS. Great for aggressive players who push rooms.
l Controlled mid-range: pick 93R, three-round burst that's easier to control for tap-and-peek fights.
3️⃣ Ammo matters: choose depending on the target
l High flesh damage (e.g. 9×19 mm RIP): won't penetrate armor but deals higher damage to unarmored body parts (legs, arms). Useful for close-range 'limb' plays, e.g., use G18 + RIP to quickly shred soft targets.
l Armor-piercing (AP) rounds: penetrate armor and are more effective against fully geared enemies. If you prefer aiming for torso/head in fights, AP rounds should be your priority.
Pro tip: Try the recommended presets on Delta Force Tools and top up ammo/attachments via BuffBuff to test these strategies fast.
