Sig Sauer P226...

[Chaingunfighter 917]

So, the Sig Sauer P226... let's talk about it for a minute (or two, depending on how long it takes you to read this).

 

 

The Sig Sauer P226 is an incredibly useful handgun, having a decent 13 round capacity, as well as being chambered in 9x19mm, .357 Sig and .40 S&W (Probably only one of those calibers for DayZ). It is known for extreme reliability, and is rather ergonomic to hold (I've used one before, and it is). Any player looking for a reliable pistol would surely take a P226 over the FNX-45 or the Magnum as of yet, being that it stands in a middle ground of the two.

 

However, the handgun costs a high price on the market and is not something that your average farmer or civilian in a post-soviet agricultural state would own. For that reason, I'd propose that it be strictly found in military/law-enforcement type locations, as I can imagine the gun's popularity would lend some to show up in Chernarus. 

I know that the devs have no reason to focus on this, and in the end it's just another military gun in a game that is supposed to revolve around civilian and improvised weapons (i.e. melee). However, I think that the P226 is a perfectly reasonable pistol to work on sometime in the long run and it's something I personally want to see eventually. What I want to know now is; what do you think?

 

I made this poll because the P226 is one of my favorite all-time guns and I want to see how the community feels about having one.

 

 

(Also, devs, add an Eotech to the M4 attachments if copyright restraints won't prevent you from even using a similar looking device, which I fear Eotech does actually claim on)

Nice gun...but as you said a high cost firearm that will most likely be in a tough competition considering cost effectiveness even in the law enforcement department. There are a lot more cheaper guns that do the same.

True, but I would still like to see it in military spawns or whatnot :P

Interesting, concidering the P226 is the regulation handgun for NAVY SEALS, and some marine troops. I still prefer the M1911 handgun though. More stopping power in it.

It would be interesting to see as a NATO gun

if anything they need to add a cz 75, the game is lacking czechnology

When the police in the US switched over to .40 cal handguns, a whole bunch of these things flooded the market a few years ago. They could be had readily for under $300, even beating the CZ-75 in price. Of course, those days are over. Betcha you wish you snagged a whole bunch up, eh?
