Oftentimes in the latter situation, the pistol will be given unlimited ammo and take the place of the knife. In many others, however, the pistol will be an Emergency Weapon, used only when you're out of ammo for everything else. In many FPS games, often for balance purposes, the pistol will be both more accurate and more lethal than an automatic weapon shooting the same (or more powerful) caliber, particularly unrealistic since a SMG/carbine platform firing the same round with a longer barrel length would boast greater muzzle velocity, therefore more energy and hitting power.

In order to compensate for its notorious uselessness, many newer games give it stealthy instant kills or encourage you to break stuff with it. ![]() Sometimes, this is just a punch, kick and/or swipe with another weapon's butt, and an actual knife is upgraded to Chainsaw status. ![]() Knife: Melee attack used as a last resort.
