* A note on trigger discipline (that can only be obtained by shooting yourself by pulling the trigger while running, climbing, or airborne) is certainly dead-serious about its namesake, but it mentions that if gun safety protocol is not followed in entertainment media, "Receivers in the audience will be worrying about everyone's safety, [[ArtisticLicense and will lose]] [[Administrivia/TropesAreNotGood track of the story]]".

* One tape describes the grisly history of the 1911, and how Colonels Thompson and Lagarde determined the best cartridge for stopping power by firing rounds into hanged human bodies and live cows. The recording then goes on to joke that soon later Thompson developed the Tommy Gun, presumably to defend against [[MemeAcknowledgment 30-50 feral cows.]]

* The notes on Auto Loading and Revolver pistols illustrate a '''very''' BrokenBase among Receivers about which one is better, complete with [[RevolversAreJustBetter hot]] [[LittleUselessGun takes]] from both sides.

* One of the tapes describing the Glock 17 discusses its lack of an external safety and likelihood of [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace negligent discharges]], highlighting this as a point of contention with American soldiers who prefer to holster their guns with a round chambered, in contrast to Austrian soldiers, who typically holster their guns emptied. The tape also mentions that [[PantsPositiveSafety you shouldn't holster a loaded Glock in the front of your waistband]] unless you "[[GroinAttack really need help]] [[InstantSoprano hitting those high notes]]." [[IntendedAudienceReaction This also closely mirrors the playerbase's general dislike of the Glock because of this.]]

* Some of the notes you can find are from a guy who starts to [[spoiler:doubt everyone else once he starts finding notes from a different receiver that say things like "DON'T TRUST OTHER RECEIVERS!" and such. However, once you start finding the notes from the gal who wrote those disconcerting messages, you'll find out that she wrote them [[AlcoholInducedIdiocy after finding a cabinet full of liquor and experimenting to see if they still had their effect]]]].

* It's also funny in an ironic sense because, despite the in and out of universe reputation the gun has for being AwesomeButImpractical, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation in-game the Deagle is actually a massive]] GameBreaker because of its .50 Action Express rounds. They utterly shred Killdrones which can be both hilarious to watch, and [[CatharsisFactor very cathartic]] to do, especially against [[DemonicSpiders flying taser drones]]. The tradeoff is that, if you aren't careful, [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace a single negligent discharge]] [[HoistByHisOwnPetard will utterly shred you as well]].
