Half-Life: Opposing Force Hints
9mm Handgun (Glock Pistol)
The 9mm Handgun is not as useful in OpForce as it was in Half-Life. I recommend using it when ammo is short, when you are dealing with simple enemies like headcrabs and regular zombies, and when you want to destroy those annoying little wooden boxes on the metal shelving units. Otherwise, use the Desert Eagle as your standard sidearm. The 9mm holds 17 bullets +250 max, which it shares with the 9mm Mp5 Automatic Machine Gun. It can be used underwater.
