Police stations and Pistols.

[Dchil 829]

Anyone notice how Police stations don't seem to spawn pistols? I've been through about 10 of em , almost all freshly restarted, and not even an amphibia. Rifles are common though.

yes,seems strange considering I went through a few fire towers lately and seen all kinds of pistols lol

I guess firefighters get pistols issued but not the police ;)

Agreed. Police stations spawns lots of rifles, but most of the pistols I find are either at Refy shipwreck, Mili bases and firestations. We'll see if they change the loot tables to be more representative of what it "should" be.

[Dchil 829]

It's annoying. It means i either have to chance the school at Berezino (i'm at Svetlo right now), go into that deathtrap of a ship or go to NEAF. I don't want to go to NEAF to find a pistol for my mate.

[Dontstealmycheese 118]

I have found pistols in them.

[Zjasuu 337]

Pfft, russian police doesn't have time for your semi-auto wimp weapons, full auto M4 all the way! No but seriously if you want pistols I suggest searching from firestations, and I'm sure the whole gun spawning thing will be changed someway in the future.

[hannibaldaplaya 1095]

I found one 1911 and a magnum there. ONCE.

[Buffaloe 87]

Yep, the police station weapon loot seems pretty awkward. I'd expect pistols (and mags for them, pls :) ) to spawn there, and not military rifles or hunting shotguns.

Hi Dchil

 

I found my first 1911 last night. It was located at the Kamyshovo Police Station :)

 

Never seen a pistol in the police station before that though tbh.

 

It seems the pistols are a rarer chance to drop, as rifles always seem to be aplenty there from my experience.

 

Happy hunting.

It should be as far as loot spawns go:

Firestations:

rope

axes

walkie talkies

raincoats

hardhats

basically fire crew equipment..

 

Police Stations:

Pistols

Rifles

Helmets

Press Vests

Stab Vests

Walkie Talkies

 

MIl bases:

Military equipment

Camo gear

Typical Dayz: I find M4s in police stations and offices yet cannot find mags for my new 9mm pistol :(

[Rick1633 136]

Where the hell can i find magazine for the .22 pistols?  I find plenty of pistols, but no mags.

[M0RG0TH 40]

Don't worry about finding pistols that isn't the hard part. Worry about finding the clip and ammo to the pistol you decided to take with you.

[DMentMan 707]

i have found the 1911 in the police station.

[Regulator Sierra 19]

found a 1911 and a magnum in one this morning

[Jezza93 44]

I just picked up a 1911 in a police station.

[Princess Dookie 35]

Yep, I've noticed that too. On a side note, several other buildings, prior to .42, do not spawn anything.

 

Ex: Food, and backpacks. I know that's a bit off topic, but it could give a reason as to why you are unable to find pistols.

 

None the less, I am sure that within the next few updates the "random" spawning system will come to life.

[raezion420 97]

I have found about 20 pistols but no clips for them in the past couple weeks. I don't even pick up pistols (other than magnum of course) anymore, I will wait to find a clip before picking up the guns.

[Crooked Hauser 258]

Maybe it's like Chicago and police need to provide their own pistols.

[CrazyCorky 40]

It's a post apocalyptic situation.. Things won't make sense. Weapons will be were people left them or died to the infected.

You forgot rotten fruit, everything has rotten fruit

[Dagwood 680]

What if... Pistol mags aren't that rare, but people just run through too quickly to notice them tucked away :O

It's the smallest item of value in the game currently. Makes sense that it's hard to spot.

[rodolfoxiii 71]

It doesn't have pistols because the game is apocalyptic.

 

The cops took all weapons and died somewhere else later.

 

The loot location should be 100% random.

[Mukaparska 55]

I found CR75 along with a shotgun and SKS.

Well, you have to think the military probably commandeered many of these civ places during the outbreak as temporary outposts, so I don't think guns in firehouses/m4 in police stations are that far-fetched. 

 

OP, I find pistols fairly commonly in police stations, always on the second floor with a rifle on the first.
