DayZ Pistol Category

Sidearms are valuable for their small size and always provide a sniper with some security in close quarters combat. Pistols in DayZ lack in damage, range and magazine size but are not too rare of find in low tier looting areas and are very easy to conceal in most pieces of clothing. Handguns can still pose a threat to most players, but armor reduces their damage significantly due to the low caliber pistol ammunition they use.

About DayZ Weapons

Weapons in DayZ can be split into serveral weapon categories that are as follows: Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Sub Machine Guns, Rifles, Shotguns, Pistols and Projectile Firearms.

DayZ weapons have a lot of stats that impact how a weapon will react to different situations. These stats can be changed slightly or drastically by attaching attachments to your weapons in DayZ.

With most weapons allowing attachments in DayZ, you can customise how your weapon performs in-game. However, most weapon attachments don't do much to improve your weapon.
