Holliday (DayZ) 65 Posted September 15, 2012 Met this guy in a valley... he had a crowbar and i greeted him, we shared a "hello" and i left, he then proceeded to follow me without saying a word. I then found a makarov and ran into a building and suddenly he took out HIS makarov... i ran up on the roof of a building and we had a 1 minute shootout, he fired at me and i fired at him.... 5-7 makarov mags later i got more hits than he did and i ended up breaking his leg and leaving him for the zombies, he was devoured and dead and i had 8000+ blood.....Morale of the story is that i took about 3 Makaroni mags in the gut and walked away almost unharmed and the only reason he died was due to the broken leg.....Why is the makarov so shitty? I would like to hear your opinions on the pistol and why you use/don't use it :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fitzkrieg 129 Posted September 15, 2012 The "markaroni" is as useful as you make it. Personally I agree that is was majorly debuffed. However in Arma 2 3 bullets in the leg break legs. But it's a head shot pistol. I always go for the head whether player or zombie with the Makarov. Easier to get a confirmed kill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kittythepwner 1 Posted September 15, 2012 Makarov and some other guns do ridiculously low amount of damage, if I am in pistol fight I don't even bother to dodge, I just try to aim for the head as that will kill him in one shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puppetworx 474 Posted September 15, 2012 The pistols have been ridiculously nerfed in ARMA 2, that's the problem. The best sidearm is the revolver which deals 1300+ damage, all the others deal 899. One mag of Makaroni to the chest should be enough to knock you unconscious. Headshot and you're dead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
