"Russian pistol GSh-18 is considered to be one of the best in the world in its class due to the mobility and accuracy of fire, large magazine and special armor-piercing rounds. GSh-18 is the best pistol in Contract Wars."
- — Description.
The GSh-18 is a tier 4 premium handgun.
Overview
The GSh-18 is a pistol with potent overall statistics. It has the third-highest damage of all semi-automatic pistols, behind the TIS Desert Eagle and TT, and tied with the PMM-12. The extreme penetration of the GSh-18 is tied with the TT. It features good accuracy, low recoil, good mobility, and a moderately fast reload speed. The initial effective distance of the GSh-18 is quite good, whereas the final effective distance is not so good. The GSh-18 has a higher damage fall-off than other similar pistols but is still competent in this regard.
Unlike other high-damage side-arms, the GSh-18 features a moderately large magazine size of 18 rounds, only behind the FN 5-7 and certain fully-automatic side-arms (APS, IWI UZI PRO, OTs-33 Pernach, Glock 18), as well as a fast fire-rate, allowing it to more effectively tackle groups of opponents than the TT. The reserve ammunition supply of the GSh-18 is quite high considering how much damage it deals per shot.
The GSh-18 has no W-Task nor Weapon Customization. This gives it a significant disadvantage in comparison to other less powerful pistols.
Performance
Although many elite players consider the TT to be the best semi-automatic pistol in the game, a significant number of players instead consider the GSh-18 to be the best pistol in the game, true to its description. Unlike the TT, the GSh-18 doesn't cost 9 Skillpoints (TT + EXP boost) to unlock. Furthermore, the GSh-18 has a magazine size which is more than twice as large as the TT's, as well as a faster fire-rate. However, the biggest disadvantage of the GSh-18 in comparison to the TT is that it cannot equip a silencer (neither pistol can equip a collimator). With the Silencer Parts Alignment Skill, the TT can equip its W-Task silencer and it will lose no damage at all, giving it a significant edge over the GSh-18.
W-Task
The GSh-18 has no W-Task.
Customization
The GSh-18 has no Weapon Customization.
