The **Heckler & Koch P30 Long**, known in-game as the **P30L**, is a rare and powerful 9mm Pistol that was added in the v0.7.7 "*Clubbed to death*" update on May 30, 2019.

## Summary

The P30L does high damage, has a very fast reload (the fastest whole-magazine reload in-game), decent fire rate, and great accuracy. It is somewhat like an extremely buffed M9, dealing 21 damage, which is extremely high damage for a pistol, let alone any 9mm weapon in the game, bearing a 15 round magazine.

## Locations

In Classic mode (or other modes that have the Alternate Barn), the P30L can always be found in the Golden Eye Chest in the underground room in the Alternate Barn. The chamber with the chest, however, requires the Sledgehammer to break the wall. It could also sometimes be found in Hardstone Boulders in Desert Mode, or as a dual in Rare Class Pods in Cobalt Mode when opened by a Scout. Dual P30Ls can also be dropped after breaking an obstacle with the Master Scavenger perk. In 50v50, Dual P30Ls can sometimes be obtained by opening golden Military Air Drops.

## Pros and cons

### Pros

* Very short reload time
* Common ammo
* Very quick fire rate
* High damage for a pistol
* Highest movement speed for all weapons

### Cons

* Dual version's reload time is much longer
* Difficult to use without good aim
* Is semi-automatic, requiring a high CPS to use effectively (N/A for mobile)

## Strategies

### Using

* Due to its low magazine capacity and fast reload, reload in whatever situation you are not fighting your opponents.
* This gun is very similar to the DEagle 50 but should be used like a DMR. The P30L is similar to the VSS, with more damage per shot and better accuracy.
	+ The P30L can be replaced with a longer range gun, such as a Sniper Rifle, if you want to play more defensively.
	+ Pairing a Shotgun or short-range SMG with this gun is usually best, as the P30L becomes unreliable at close range.
* The P30L is best used in mid ranges due to the high accuracy and good DPS.
* With the highest movement speed when held in the game, it is easier to dodge bullets while shooting/reloading. Keep moving while using this gun, as the moving accuracy is still quite good.

### Countering

* When going against a P30L user, run in a zigzag style to dodge as many bullets as possible, and, if possible, run towards the Player and rush with an SMG or a shotgun.
* Similarly, using sniper rifles such as Mosin-Nagant and SV-98 can outgun the P30L user at long range due to slower bullet speed and less accuracy.
* Dual P30L is much deadlier than a single P30L, and the high rate of fire along with decent spread makes bullets difficult to dodge. Take cover behind obstacles and try to get chip damage on the P30L user during their reload time.
	+ The best strategy to fight this is to stay at a far distance, where the bullets have spread much more. Use an accurate weapon with a large Scope to pick off the P30L user from relative safety.

## Trivia

* The gun was made by Heckler & Koch, the same manufacturer of the M416, MP5, and the UMP9.
* It uses the 9×19mm Parabellum round, the same ammo used for most modern Pistols and Submachine guns.
* It was first produced in 2006.
* Even without the boost of the Adrenaline, a Player holding P30L (single wielded) will move faster than every other weapon, equal to Melee Weapons.
* This gun is also heavily used by John Wick In John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2, and John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, which could be its inspiration.
* Before the v0.7.9 "*Scouting ahead*" update, the P30L was not able to be dual-wielded due to the rarity of the gun.
* When dual-wielded, the P30L in the HUD shows the name "**Dual P30L**", which is different to other Pistols, which does not show the "Dual" when dual-wielded.
* It has a similar reloading sound as M93R but faster.
* This Pistol has the longest barrel of all the Pistols.
	+ This is done because of its name - P30L is a longer slide and barrel variant of P30. Additionally, it mounts a (real) barrel weight, which moderately resembles the (fictional) compensator used by John Wick.
* This is the pistol whose dual reload is longer than double its single reload. At 2.65 seconds, though, it is still the fastest dual pistol reload.
* The P30L can be compared with the DEagle 50. It has a faster reload time, has better accuracy, has over double the magazine of the DEagle, though it does less damage than the .50 AE. The same goes for dual wield.
* The P30L is the second pistol with a detailed skin, the first being the OTs-38.
* Very rarely, Dual P30L’s could spawn in the Golden Eye Chest in the room under the Alternate Barn.
* P30L was the second 9mm weapon to deal more than 12 damage per shot, the first being the UMP9 and the third the VSS.
* Dual P30Ls is the only pistol whose image appears with pistols crossed yet swaps slower than 0.25s.
