Rarity of .45 ACP rounds makes Derringer essentially useless
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I accept that this is only my experience and that I may just be very unlucky, but ever since the Derringer was introduced, I have never been able to use it since the ammunition spawns are so limited across the map.

If it is a civilian gun, does it not make sense to either have the ammunition added to civilian building loot tables, or for the caliber of the Derringer to be changed so that it can be used? It would not break realism as "A derringer is generally the smallest usable handgun of a given caliber."

Yesterday was the first time I found any ammunition for the gun at all since introduction, and that was because I found a 1911 clip in an office building.

It seems like the pistol is almost useless at the moment as you will almost always find a better 0.45 ACP pistol either before or as you find the bullets.

I posted about the same problem here - including other guns, such as the 9mm guns, or SKS/CR527 carbine ammo.

Aussie, thanks. Your link comes back to this post though, I managed to find it anyway. This is the thread http://feedback.dayzgame.com/view.php?id=20505 then. I believe this post may still be somewhat relevant since there is no suggestion of changing the caliber of the derringer in yours. You definitely covered the issue in general in better detail though.

@Geez hi :)

Maybe close this ticket as obsolete?
