One rung above the revolver, the pistol ladder swaps frags and cloth for a little HQM and adds a second part you cannot make. The metal pipe waits for a Level 3 bench, as before. The semi automatic body waits forever: it cannot be researched, so it comes from crates, kills and recycled guns.
That body is also what the semi-automatic rifle is built on, and here the box decides more than taste does. The pistol wants a body and a pipe, the rifle a body and a spring. Look at which of the two you have spare before you pick a blueprint.
Tip
A looted M92 that wears out carries the same body. Recycle it and you get the body back half the time, the cheapest way to your next semi pistol.
