* BottomlessMagazines: Averted; your basic handgun can run out of ammunition just like your special weapons, forcing you to punch criminals with your fists. It's not too big a problem, since you can also find pickups for it along with the other guns, and respawning starts each new life off with a fresh supply of ammo.
