World at War, being centered around just the Soviet/German conflict on the Eastern Front and the American/Japanese conflict in the Pacific, had a rifle, machine gun, SMG, and handgun to represent each of the four nations. When Zombies first started you were playing as U.S. Marines in Nacht Der Untoten and Verrückt, hence why every player started the match with the U.S. standard sidearm. With the introduction of Ultimis in Shi No Numa I would've liked it if Treyarch stepped away from the convention of the first two maps and gave each character a unique starting pistol.
When Der Riese came around they could have then given each pistol, the Walther P38, Tokarev TT-33, and the Nambu respectively, a unique upgrade like the M1911's.

Would some pistols be better than others though or would all be equal?? But otherwise cool idea
Yeah that wouldve been cool
i honestly want what Ghosts: Extinction mode did- choose your starting pistol and ALWAYS have it. Even whem you upgrade to two primary weapons- you still will always have your starter pistol as your baby mule kick and you’ll never lose it. Pistols in that mode were your bread and butter. Especially if you spent the Teeth to get the Ark Muzzle Brake.
