Isaac rambles about what the next evolution of duty pistols could be. His ideas aren't so much based on any individual pistol technologies, but a number of external trends:

1. Increased use of pistol optics
2. Increased use of suppressors and muzzle devices
3. Decreased importance of SMGs and PCCs
4. Increased sophistication of decentralized manufacturing

UPDATE: Waverly did, in fact, lose cell phone service during the flood. I'd been told otherwise before, but I've now heard that emergency towers had to be set up.
