On the other hand, 20 rounds isn't something to laugh at.
(Fun fact: the Modern Technique specifies not .45ACP, but the highest caliber the user can handle, which could be a 9mm if the user can't comfortably use .45 ACP.)
As for modding the 92FS, my guess is he couldn't find a 93R -that model's fairly rare, no?

thats why im really curious as to why he didnt just go outright and select a 93R instead of spending shitloads of wad for a burst setting. the 92FS and 93R have the same magazine slot too.
5.7 is noted to be an excellent kevlar hater, especially paired up with the P90.
9mm is all you need against unarmored gunmen.. some people hate the .45ACP because its a bit heavy, has a LOT of excess stopping power, and it makes moar recoil. its also a common round the students use in Butei.
