It was beautiful, Revolvers and M1911s stopped hoards of zombies with interchangable ammo.
Y U NERF ROCKET, Y U NERF?
Not a hoard per say, but they managed to kill what was necessary with a very limited amount of ammo. (Being that you'd probably carry about 21-42 shots worth.)
If I recall correctly, it was an Arma 2 nerf that affected DayZ as well.. It wasn't limited to pistols either. Just about all guns received a nerf.
SMG's and 9mm Handguns did about 2-3k damage instead of 899.
Shotguns went from 6k to 4.5k.
And most rifles like the Ak74 went down a thousand or so in damage. (Excluding most american weapons like the M4's and M16's)
So it wasn't Rocket's doing, nor did most of it make logical sense.
