What is the best pistol in DayZ SA?

[MIKEMONSTER 5]

Ok so the hunt for the best side arm has begun the contestants are: M1911 (engraved/not engraved), Magnum, FNX, Amphibia S, CR75 and the sawed off.

 

Post your thoughts about all the aspects (cosmetics, power, accuracy, range, attachments, capacity etc.) about the guns and tell me what you prefer the most. Also videos and images are appreciated.

FNX

 

15-round clip, ammo and clips really common, and one shot kills almost every zombie.

I'd have to agrea with red on that one,

best looking in my opinion is the unique 1911 is the best looking

But Its not about looks.

[doctorbadsign 645]

I don't care about science and magazine capacity and all that crazy shit. 

 

I'll take a magnum every time.

[Aamunkajo 110]

Amphibia S ftw

If you're going to include the sawn-off you may aswell include the mp5. But neither are pistols, so for me it has to be the Magnum for the simple reason that it doesn't require a clip. Sure the speedloader is nice but you can fully load it as soon as you find ammo regardless. Unlike the others which you can only chamber.

 

So it's the magnum for me.

 

EDIT. Shouldn't this be in general?

Thx man that helps a lot was busy browsing both general and gallery at once and messed it up.

FNX is the "best". Magnum is the easiest to get around. 1911 is my favorite for personal reasons. Here's a pic for the "gallery" section. (dunno how to change sections once topic is created, sorry mate.)

FNX is the best.

 

Some might argue for the Amphibian on the basis it is near-silent to players but it still alerts zombies and an axe is more powerful and much quieter.

The reason i included the sawn off and not the mp5 was because the sawn off uses the same ammount of slots as the pistols whilst the mp5 uses 2 more. I do not consider the mp5 as a good secondary because it uses too many slots in my inventory and is too big. But if you guys can convince me that it is a valid secondary I will comsider it.

FNX, followed by the magnum. ( no mag needed and it looks badass :D )

 

Just store the fnx in a container with the mags. That thing breaks faster than chopsticks.

 

everything 9mm is crap...sadly tho.

Best pistol in the game is one you have ammo and/or magazines for. They all go pew pew and a well placed shot will make anyone take a dirtnap

[Grimey Rick 3417]

FNX > 1911 > CR75 > Magnum > P1 > Amphibia S

[hotcakes 348]

FNX45

same dispersion as most pistols

fires .45 ACP which is stronger than 5.56 for whatever reason 

higher mag capacity than 1911

1911 is like FNX45 but cannot mount things, lower mag size and louder sound signature

longhorn is a gimmick weapon 

.357 magnum does same damage as .45 acp but limited to 6 rounds

most pistols are irrelevant because of cartridge

[SFRGaming 718]

magnum. best accuracy for the pistols and you don´t need a clip or mag.

Stats actually prove it's the most inaccurate.

1911 by far, sure the fnx has higher magazine capacity and can mount a dot sight and supressor but what are the point in those, it cant shoot accurately past 30m and the supressor doesnt work. I have knocked two people unconcious in just 1 shot chambered in the 1911, and I killed a couple people camping a jail building with just one magazine (yes, 7 bullets). I have not tried the fnx much, but so far the 1911 has done well for me. Otherwise, I prefer the look of the 1911 more anyway.

All the centrefire pistol-caliber handguns have the same dispersion, you know, which means 15 > 7.

Your post gave me autism. It's a magazine, not a clip. No offense though.

No, most of the pistols have the same dispersion of 0.3.

 

Longhorn has 0.1 and Amphibia 0.2 but they're irrelevant.

 What I'm saying is a dot sight on a gun that can't shoot very far to begin with is kind of pointless. I can hit something 30m away with the iron sights just as easy as I can with the dot sight. Not that the 1911 is more accurate or anything like that.
