Best overall pistol

[yazar8 584]

in order,

FNX 45 with suppressor, mrds, and flashlight

 

 

There are not pistol suppressors in the game anymore.

 

 

Anyway, if you ask me, FNX is good, then the magnum. 

 

The FNX is hard to find, hard to find magazines, hard to find attachments etc. etc.

 

Magnum is easy to find, easy to find ammo etc. etc.

 

 

 

The FNX takes 13-14 shots to kill someone, the magazine is 15 rounds.

 

I've done testing with it, my target had:

 

- Full gorka

- Energized, hydrated, full blood and health

- Smersh vest

 

 

Target died after 13 shots in the chest.

would love this^^ Untill then....357 pistol.

[Zboub le météor 250]

as everyone, if you manage to find one with a magazine and some ammo, the FNX 45 is the best deal. i used it a lot before it was moved to helicrash, it dropped most of my opponent unconscious with 2 rounds.

 

i never really liked the .357 magnum. it saved my ass a few time in close quarter encourters, but i found it's accuracy is shit. i fired multiple times at more than 50m distance and it's totally unaccurate ! on the other hand, it's deadly in the close quarter "one building firefight" we often see in elecktro and thath the keeper in that situation.

 

the longhorn is a sneaky gun :  powerfull, accurate... but miss against an opponent and your are dead. found that there was more than 1 guy ? you are dead (or at least odds are against you)... you see someone hiding in an appartement trough a window ? he his dead ! it make a sick combo paired with the MP-133 for big town pvp situations.

 

i really like the CZ 75. decently accurate, good magazine capacity, decent firepower... great gun in most situations. i can remember one time i was messing around with friend, a zombie walked in the middle of us. one of my friend manage to miss the zombie and land a single shot on my leg. i fall unconscious... and i was healthy/fully geared. it saved my life a few times when i was spotted sniping in novo or when is was ambushed claiming my loot on dead bodies.

 

the one that really surprised me is the makarov. i had to use it after loosing my main rifle (G misclick of doom). it was accurate, and more powerull that i expected. ambushed 2 guy looting a construction site. first shot hit exactly where i aimed and could take down the other guy with 3-5 bullets at 40m distance. it saved my life 3-4 times in panic situation where i ran directly into some guys. definitely a good gun. military tents are overrun by makarov guns and mags as people underestimate this little beast and .380 auto are one of the most common ammunition.

 

the amphibia... never really used it. good if you are a headshot king, too weak if you land anywhere else.

 

P1 is useless.

 

carried a lot of 1911 with mags but used it in firefight maybe 1-2 time only. seems to be a better magnum (if you have the mag). two more bullet can really make a difference in a close quarter fight.

I shot someone a few times int the chest with a Makarov who had similar gear and he still killed me. how many body or head shots would it take the magnum to kill a full geared player with protective clothing?

Never tried, but I can say 5-6 shots for the magnum

 

Speaking off the makarov, that is 8 bullets am I right? The makarov is a really weak pistol, don't expect much from it. I presume the makarov would need atleast 8 shots, I can try though. To the head I'll say 2 if the player doesn't have any head protection (or a beret or something like that) first shot will put unconscious, the second would kill.

 

 

Also the FNX varies, sometimes its 5-6 shots aswell, sometimes its insane numbers, such as 12 or 13.

[Chaingunfighter 917]

FNX is the best, only reason to pick another pistol is if can't find a working FNX and ammo. As for being rare, I found half a dozen littering the Cherno docks not too long ago. :lol:

Hence why the Magnum is probably the most popular handgun, simply because they tend to be more available than the FNX.

 

I long for a Glock as a reasonable 9x19mm substitute for the FNX.

[Killawife 599]

I always use the CR75 if its available. Perhaps the FNX is better but since you can hardly ever find one its better to go with something that's available. CR75 has it all, lots of bullets, fast trigger action and good accuracy.

 The magnum is ok but slower and unfunny.

No way. You only need 1 headshot to kill, even if the victim is wearing a ballistic helmet, on account of the close range. Body shots can vary, but usually 2 or 3 (depending on the health state and gear of the target) should be more than enough.

I've not found any pistol suppressor in patch 50 at all - I think the item is loot buged in the 50 stable patch. And I've looted several heli crash sites recently including all airfields and green mountain + the military camp NW of Green Mountain on a 1st person and another 3rd person server. I prefer 1st person view and I live west on the map searching active for crash sites for loot updates in patch 50.

Can anyone confirm that pistol suppressor doesn't spawn or removed from the game?

What was the main reason behind that decision - they also need to fix the sound issue with the pistol supprressor.

I was talking about body shots though.

Yeah, and the breath mechanic is almost broken and so many guns inaccurate it makes me wonder if anyone hit anything at all at 100+ meters?

The weapons in the game is not realistic at all - they need to fix that garbage breath mechanic - I've shoot guns in sports for years so I know how to hold my breath

and aim properly with a weapon, which I can't in-game.

I was also a sniper in the military so I know when weapons works properly.

 

I don't shoot other players in-game, but I need to go to 50 meters to hit any animals unless I've a pristine Mosin with a long range scope which seems to be the most accurate

of all weapons.
