What if... The Makarov was actually GOOD?!

Recommended Posts

What if... We had an SD version:

Class = MakarovSD

Name = Makarov SD

Side = EAST

Info

In use for nearly forty years the venerable PM Makarov served with the Soviet Red Army and now serves the Russian Federation Armed Forces. Equipped with a suppressor the silenced Makarov PM is an ideal weapon for special forces and assassins.

Magazine Class(1) = 8Rnd_9x18_Makarov

Magazine Class(2) = 8Rnd_9x18_MakarovSD

Hell I'd use it, if it could fire normal mak mags....finding any SD ammo in large enough chunks to be used is rough.

What?

A Makarov SD actually does exist, although i believe it's hacked in. I had one once, pretty sweet looking pistol.

As for the "What if the Makarov was actually GOOD?" thing, i like it how it is. Sure it's not very practical for bringing down a guy in a tactical vest (or a hero vest, no bleeding! :D) you need a "starter" weapon.

It gets the job done and it's ammo is EVERYWHERE. Hell when i do runs into the south i just leave all my shit in my tents and bring my Makarov/hatchet. I'll find ammo along the way :)

I usually have better chances finding M1911's and Revolver's now then makarov's actually. If there was an SD version, well now, that would be different.

From what it looks like according to ARMATech, you can use regular Makarov mags. Will have to do some testing.

Technically, the M1911 and Revolver suck as well post that Beta update, so any pistol I have I go for the headshot anyways. Waste otherwise.

Had it in game for a while still sucks as much as the reg mak. I'll stick to my m9sd

Yea I found one and like all guns had to try it out on infected before destroying it and still found it horrible. The makarov has terrible accuracy and damage, being silent just reduces noise nothing else. Plus 8 bullets, if I was going to carry a hacked sidearm at least go with PDW SD.

The SD looks like a Browning HP...

If this was actually in-game, I would most certainly pick it up. Ammo should be abundant, and we usually will aim for the head, SO WHY THE HELL NOT?

When put in to perspective, Makarov is one of the best weapons ingame when looking at what it was designed as, not by how much damage it does. It's fairly low noise weapon as it is, it has a decent range of 50 meters, a small magazine size is a downer but you can find ammo from everywhere, as a backup weapon for those "oh shi-" situations it's excellent. Heck, now that 1911 was nerfed it's basically even better than before.. Won't alert every single bugger in the 500m radius and you won't be running out of ammo anytime soon, and even if you do.. just check your nearest trashcan.

EDIT

While I was smoking I thought to myself that if I could, I'd rather have a .22LR pistol as a sidearm. Logically you should be able to carry tons of ammo for it due to it's small size, and because you will mostly be shooting at unarmored zombies (military zombies not included), it would be ideal for the job. Does massive damage to the brain when shot to the head, pretty quiet with a suppressor added and should be able to find loads of ammo for it due to .22 being pretty popular especially amongst civilian population.

This is a hacked in weapon. Mak SD isn't a DayZ spawn. After packing an M9SD around and M4SD around. Trying to find bullets was rough, only managed because at the time I had a squad of 5. They'd collectively give me all the SD ammo they found. Now I either use a big hand gun and SD primary or SD hand gun big primary. (MK 48 mod 0 being my favorite)

Make a Suppressed M1911, then I will be happy.

MK23 would be boss. Especially when .45 caliber actually did damage.

No reason at all why this isn't ingame along with a bunch of other stock weapons that would add flavour while still using similar ammo...

I'd like to see all the NATO weapons replaced by high tier Czech weapons, and more variety of Russian weapons added.
