Features: Pistols have been used on the battlefield for over four hundred years, but it is puzzling that their military value has always been negligible. Due to factors such as short range and extreme difficulty in aiming, their role on the battlefield has been very limited. As a result, in the 20th century, many authoritative figures predicted, based on the rapid development of submachine guns and various new self-defense weapons, that pistols would soon be phased out of military use. However, the actual development of events has been the opposite of this inference. To this day, millions of pistols are still in use in the armed forces of various countries, and in many nations, pistol technology continues to evolve.
