The Commissar's Pistol

The Commissar's pistol is one of the weakest weapons in the game, on-par with crew weapons. This is probably because it was previously a seldom-used single-player weapon, and existed as such in release-era CoH2 stasis until the Commissar Squad was added to Multiplayer. The pistol's stats should be updated to reflect modern pistols like the M1911 and Luger. To show what I mean, the graph below is the Nagant compared to an M1911.

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Good Stuff here

Are you sure you are looking at the right stats? because the weapon you have has a range of 25.

It’s called asymmetrical balancing.

Ost Officer and OKW Officer use the same pistol, compared to the 1911 on that chart, it has higher damage at 5 meters and lower damage everywhere else. I can get images after my shower, or you can find them here.

From the linked website, go to Soviet > Commissar Command Squad > nagant_m1895_revolver_mp. I trust the site was using the right weapon, I don't have the developer tools downloaded to personally check.

Aww man. I asked them to raise the damage when the Commissar was first added, but it makes sense that more stats are wrong.

I think the Luger should also be adjusted, since its DPS drops sharply with range compared to the 1911.
