D: ino, sucks. fuckin bureaucrats with nothing better to do than regulate people to death.
come to the USA lol
In buying spare parts for mine i've done a bit of research on the diferent submodels. The one Eva uses in MGS3 is a Shansei Type 17 in .45 ACP, it was a moderately larger pistol than the german ones. The Hanyang C96s (another earlier Chinese copy) were original size and caliber (7,63mm). These arms are surprisingly well made compared to most chinese small arms. Though the workmanship and metallurgy of the german guns is invariably better.
The "Red Nines" had the red nine engraved on the handle, were so marked to distinguish them as 9mm pistols instead of 7,63 mm. All of the "Red Nines" were German made for the german army or as "bolo" versions for Russian export. I do not believe the Chinese ever made a production 9mm version. As such the Red Nine as featured in RE4 must be German.
The old 7,63 mil cartridge actually has more pentrating power than 9mm and has a longer range, though the rounds are closely related. the previous owner of my gun converted it to 9mm, i converted it back for originiality's sake and a bit more power.
