PDW vs. GLOCK 17

[salty (DayZ) 39]

I guess the point I'm trying to make is to weigh your options at the moment. Done pick it up if you've got 5 mags for a 1911' date=' and their is only 1 or 2 for the PDW/Glock.

5 M1911 mags = 35 rounds

2 PDW mags = 60 rounds

I'd still pick up the PDW, no question.

To support your point, that's 35 zombie kills vs 60 zombie kills (if you do it right), and Z kills are basically all I, personally, ever use my sidearm for.

Any 9x19mm variant, so the following

mp5(sd)

m9(sd)

Someone did digging within the game files' date=' and the zombie aggro sound is defined per gun.

Digging within the game files is all well and nice, but have you tested it? I've fired MP5SD mags from my PDW and alerted nothing and M9 SD mags from my G17 and alerted nothing.

I will personally trust defined distance values over an arbitrary "Did they alert?" test.

That is to bad for you, because when you are using SD ammo in a gun, Zeds won't aggro you even if you are standing right next to them. Players on the other hand will be able to hear you as if you where using normal ammo.

Currently I am using a PDW with SD ammo to kills Zeds, but I might change to a G17 since i like the targeting better.

The game can be weird, as in buggy I think. I've shot zeds in the head with a AK right in the middle of town, and seem as long as it dies in 1 shot, nothing will agro. This doesn't happen all the time tho.

As for PDW, I avoid like the plague due to THE WORST IRON SIGHTS EVER.

I use either G17 or 1911. I prefer the G17. I like 1 shot kills with 1911, but low ammo mags suck.
