.38 Revolver
Described into the game as a Chinese copy of some Colt revolver (probably a Model 10).

In multiplayer mode, it is used by the "Medic" class on both teams.
Reload operation.
Smith & Wesson Mark 22 Model 0 (S&W 39)
Seen with silencer, and called thew "Hush Puppy", in game it shares the .45ACP ammunition of the M1911A1 instead of the correct 9x19 NATO. It is used by U.S. Special Forces and is the primary pistol used in the Tunnel Rat mission.
