Warzone 2 duo detonate nuke despite using starting pistols only

Two Call of Duty: Warzone 2 players detonated a nuclear bomb while only using the starting pistol.

As spotted by the Twitter account Modern Warzone, streamers Fifakill and LG bbreadman achieved the near-impossible in Warzone 2. The pair won five games in a row with merely the game's starter pistol before successfully detonating a nuclear bomb in the sixth game.

This is a pretty herculean effort by the pair of Warzone 2 streamers. Just attempting to win a match of Warzone 2 with the game's starting pistol is a monumental achievement, let alone winning five matches of duos for the pair in a row. 

That being said, the PKM is a pretty solid all-around pistol. The starter pistol, which everyone gets at the beginning of a Warzone 2 match, has decent handling, aiming, and damage stats, meaning if you're quick enough on the trigger finger, and accurate enough, you can put up a real fight against anyone. Even considering that, you'd still have to be ungodly good at Warzone 2 to win five games with the PKM. 

This is the second time in the same number of weeks we've seen a nuke detonated in a weird manner. Last week, one streamer achieved the detonation without firing a single bullet, playing with merely their wits and a riot shield through six whole games to detonate the weapon. Nuke runs with odd conditions seem to be all the rage among Warzone 2's streamers at the moment.
