Hey, don't shoot the messenger. We still have NDs with pistols, and "green zone attacks" from people who are recruited and make it somewhere but end up taking out their vendettas against their putative allies and comrades-in-arms.
In other news, there's a lot of recent news articles about organizations adopting the M17 or M18 MHS handgun.
