In this episode we're covering the CZ75.

It's a semi automatic weapon, unlocked once you've purchased all of the other handguns.

The CZ75 originates from Czechoslovakia, now the modern-day Czech Republic.

It's manufactured by Česká zbrojovka, and the design was first introduced in 1975.

This all steel construction semi-auto pistol was originally designed for export, and wasn't sold in its domestic market until 1985.

On the international market, it proved popular - and would become one of the original 'wonder nines'.

This appellation was a somewhat derogatory term applied to the initial wave of double-action, 9mm semi automatic pistols, that threatened the revolvers normally used by American law enforcement.

By the 1990s, semi-automatic pistols were the norm, with weapons such as the CZ-75, Sig Sauer P226, and Beretta 92 paving the way in terms of capacity and reliability.

The CZ's popularity persists today, known for its reliability and versatility at a reasonable price.

The CZ75 fires the 9-by-19 millimetre Parabellum cartridge, the standard NATO pistol calibre.

Magazines are 12 rounds in capacity, or 18 with extended mags.

The CZ75 is a low damage pistol, dealing the same damage per shot as the ASP, Makarov and M1911.

It will kill in 3 shots up close, or with two headshots - and outside of the weapon's fairly short effective range, you'll need up to 5 shots to kill.

Rate of fire is capped to 625 rounds per minute, assuming you can pull the trigger quickly enough: this is generous enough for most.

Recoil is generally low, especially if you fire at a slower rate: in general, the CZ's recoil is simply not a factor for a typical pistol engagement.

Aim time is very quick, on par with the other pistols at 150 milliseconds.

Reloads are quick by any usual standards, but fairly typical for the pistol class, at 1.63 seconds.

The Full-Auto Upgrade is an attachment unique to the CZ, and will turn the weapon into a machine pistol: the only fully-automatic secondary in the game.

As with the real-life weapon, an inverted magazine is attached underneath the pistol as a makeshift foregrip.

Not only will the weapon become fully automatic, but the weapon's idle sway will also be removed.

However, these benefits comes at great cost: your rate of fire is fixed beneath the usual semi-automatic firecap, at just 525 rounds per minute: this makes it the slowest firing weapon in the game, alongside the M60.

In addition, your damage per shot is also reduced: to a 4 shot kill at close range.

This is the same per shot lethality of a low-damage SMG, but with half the fire rate, and half the magazine size, you'll find getting reliable kills troublesome, to say the least.

The CZ-75 offers some very favourable characteristics, principally the highest magazine capacity in its class.

While the benefit may appear to be slight, for those with a faster trigger finger the ability to unload with the confidence of sustainable fire means you can focus on getting as many shots as possible on target quickly, without worrying about ammo conservation.

In addition to the CZ's unique capacity advantage, you also gain the benefit of the longest effective range of any low-damage pistol: the difference is only slight, but nevertheless the CZ leads its class on two fronts.

However, the CZ75 lacks the power of the Python, or the speed of the ASP - both offering more immediate benefit than a higher magazine capacity.

Still, the CZ's impressive all-round statistics come in a single fast-drawing package - making it a very strong choice for your secondary slot.

While there may be other, more specialised choices, the CZ-75 is both versatile and dependable - two very worthwhile traits in a sidearm.

Czech out this wonder gun, and regardless of whether you say C-Zed or C-Zee...

...choosing the right secondary is easy.
