Talk:Nighthawk pistol

40 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition? What did the pistol look like? A .45 Colt M1911 has to use a single stack and can carry only 7 rounds, and the Beretta Cougar 8045 only eight... Shaur M. S. Grizlin 08:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's what the novel has for the Nighthawk pistol. I read the novel in one day (except for the last chapter or so), so the details are a little fuzy.  But I did note the caliber, number of rounds in a notebook.  I'll go back and check if they had a detailed visual discription.  For reference, the Nighthawk is introduced in the scene while everyone is on the Huron, heading for the battle of San Deigo.--Eldarone 14:30, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Just to be sure, I rechecked the novel agian. I'm somewhat puzzled by the dialouge.  Vega just noticed the Nighthawk reloads weighing much heavier than he expected.  A character responds that the Nighthawk "fires forty 'stead'a thirty."  I thought it refered to the number of rounds since the pistol caliber was already established.  --Eldarone 05:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
