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.
There are several different action types for pistols, including semi-automatic and revolver. Revolvers must be manually cycled after each shot; semi-automatic pistols use the recoil from the previous cartridge to fill the chamber with the next ammunition.
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.
Rifles are long firearms that are powerful and can hit targets accurately at range. Making them a great choice stealthy players that like to shoot from a distance.
Shotguns are incredible dangerous up close, but lack in effectiveness at medium and especially long distance. Shotguns are best used in urban combat for this reason.
Handguns are compact firearms that can only be shot and handled with one hand. They are less powerful and accurate than rifles, but they are more concealable and portable. They are classified into several categories, including revolvers and pistols. While the cylinder of a revolver rotates in place of a magazine, the magazine of a handgun may hold a significant number of rounds.
