Don't get fooled by the big magazine size: the RFP is a burst-fire pistol. That means it will shoot 3 bullets in a row. High damage on each burst (399!), very tame recoil and bloom and great accuracy on the move make it into a good secondary to soften targets with in mid-range fighting. The fast switch time, paired with its damage potential, also make it a very strong sidearm to finish a tagged target with.

TIPS:
-Use cover: crouch, pop out, fire, crouch, repeat.
-The RFP has quick equip time, good moving (not sprinting) accuracy and high burst damage - as such, it can be useful to finish off targets softened by grenades or shotguns while still mantaining good mobility. Sprinting accuracy is okay-ish, but the slow fire rate makes it hard to actually be a threat outside of extreme close range, where you can run circles around your opponents bursting bullets in their face. Moral: don't sprintfire out of the <5m range.
-A perfect shotgun hit followed by an RFP burst will kill a player at normal health in less than .6s. This is a great way to get pistol kills and far more reliable than the SNR method described later on this page as the RFP is far better than the snubnose.
