Which do you prefer and why. Haven't really gotten to mess around with the Magnum much but I've heard from my buddies its awesome.

The Magnum for sure, I took three .45 to the chest at low blood and survived. I took one .357 to the chest at full blood and died.

Understandable. I personally like the accuracy of the .45 I've hit running zeds at 30 or 40 yards which is obviously a 1 hit kill. Players I've unloaded quickly on in barracks with it. Yes it did take about 7 or 8 shots but I guess I've grown accustom to it. I use it for mainly indoor clearing where my m4 w/ acog isn't very suitable.

I shot someone in the leg with the .357 for not complying, she died...

They need to fix the damage values >.<

A .45 is for sure something you shouldn't be able to walk away from with three in your chest and the .357 shouldn't kill with a shot to the leg >.<

I'll give you 357 reasons to use the revolver. 

 

Would you believe the .357 cartridge is the same diameter as the 9mm?

I second this request.

i've had a .45 for a few days now. Killed one person with it, pointblank in the chest. I used 8 bullets, but that was my bad. He was my first kill and I didn't think the pistol would shoot that fast...

 

I just found a .357 at the NEAF, but I have no ammo for it. If anything, I'll probably keep the .45 because its ammo is much easier to find.

.45 is better for looting/zombie clearing. (Much much easier to reload provided you have 2 mags) (Magazines for this weapon are the rarest item in this game)

.357 is better for PvP provided you can actually aim the damn thing.

 

Since I use a Mosin instead of an M4 and refuse to put up with the BS of carrying both, I have to use a .45 for looting.

Takes deep breath  :o

I haven't tested the .45 yet , but I believe it's a more reliable weapon .

 

1 : The ammo is a lot easier to get .

 

2: Those 15 bullets per magazine come in handy .

 

3 : Easier to reload , if you have a magazine ( I have to reload my Magnum via inventory , can't use '' R '' ) .

 

4 : It's more accurate .

 

5 : Has more range .

 

Meanwhile , the Magnum : 

 

1 : Does A LOT more damage .

 

2 : It's better for room clearing : One shot , you're dead .
