Alternative .22 Pistols?

[Draco122 412]

Just something that was bugging me, I was reading through the DayZ wiki and it said that as of 0.50, the .22 LR Amphibia S would now spawn at Helicopter Crash Sites. I'm inclined to be believe this as I have not found the Amphibia S at all in the past couple of updates. I don't see how it deserves a place in the Helicopter Crash Site Loot spawn considering it's weakness

 

So I ask what would fill the gap in its place?

 

Some examples:

TOZ-35 .22 LR Target Pistol - Single Shot .22 LR Pistol

 

 

Beretta 87 Target - .22LR pistol with an 8 round magazine.

Ruger Single Six - .22 LR Revolver, requires no magazine but slow to reload and fire (operates in single action only and can only reload one round at a time)

Love that revolver. Would be great as a starter weapon as it requires no mag.

 

10 round capacity seems nice too.

[Geckofrog7 1169]

Agreed with the revolver. Should be pretty common realistically as well.

Definitely agree that we need some more .22 pistols.

The MCM target shooting pistol would be a pretty good one to add, apparently it's quite common in Eastern Europe.

(Credit to whoever posted it in the weapon suggestion thread.)

Ruger Single Six - 100% It gives off that "Single Action Army" vibe without actually being one (because I really doubt we'll get .45 Long Colt in the game) and would also mean more revolvers for the game.

 

That target pistol is really ugly, though, but it could be realistic. (I don't see the point - a single shot .22 gun would be nigh useless and that gun doesn't even look like something that would be spawning more common than other guns, so it'd be a novelty weapon at best.)

 

 

Some other viable .22 guns:

 

 

Smith & Wesson M&P-22 - Decent semi-automatic pistol, plus it's in the very popular (and growing) M&P series.

Armalite AR-7 - .22LR survival rifle, could probably spawn at deer stands and barns and such as a more common spawn.

Charter Arms Explorer - .22LR Pistol built off of the same base as the AR-7 above

Winchester Model 52 - Bolt action .22LR with a 10 round internal mag capacity (rather than 5 like most of the other hunting rifles)

American-180 SMG: - Not realistic at all, but it's a very unique drum-fed .22LR SMG. Would be super cool IMO.
