SMG to pistol slot

[hombrecz 832]

After recent damage nerf of pistols and SMG's (and few other weapons) I thought, that it would make sense if we can put SMG and its ammo to pistol slot.

If MP5 and Bison does exactly the same dmg as 9mm pistol (glock, M9 Bereta etc) then there is almost no reason why such weak weapons should occupy the main rifle slot.

SMG is already almost useless in PVP so it would be nice to have it in pistol slot for Zeds as its quieter then assault rifles and have bigger mag then pistol.

p.s. I know that weapon nerf was part of arma2 1.6.2 patch and not Dayz patch but still, Rocket is in close contact with Bohemia Interactive and these changes affected DayZ very much.

EDIT: We already have this with PDW so why not with MP5 and Bison?

Also adding of good old Skorpion would be lovely bonus :-).

I disagree.

Because an MP5 is NOT a pistol.

Also, damage nerf is well... nothing serious. A shot to the head is a shot to the head.

Actually not too bad, however MP5/Bizon are not that small.

PDW is pretty small compared to the Bizon and Mp5.

Scorpion would be cool.

That'd be nice. L85 as main for spotting, Bizon for Zombies and an AS50 for sniping.

i agree with the mp5, t's relatively small i guess, especially without a stock. but i just think rocket needs to add a damage multiplier to the weapons. it takes 3 or 4 shots with a revolver to kill them from about 5 meters, thats ridiculous :L
