MSR700

The MSR700 is a bolt-action rifle in zombie survival game, project zomboid. This is one of the only two bolt-action rifles in the game, the other being the MSR788. The MSR700 is just the MSR788 but worse. It does less damage (To body shots, this isnt shown on the wiki, but tested myself.) The range is lower, the bullets might be more common but hell are they heavy, and good fucking luck finding it. It is SUPPOSED to be common, apparently being able to spawn in homes, but I've actually barely ever seen this rifle. Once again, due to the nature of bolt-action guns in this game, they really suck. The fire cooldown being some of the longest in the game (Bolt-Action, duh.) and only being able to pick off one zombie at a time. Now I know nobody reads these anymore, but I made a mistake on my MSR788 definition. It can pierce up to two zombies, which makes it viable to an extent. But, our friend the MSR700 cant even pierce one zombie, making this one of the MOST useless guns in the game.

Timmy: "Wow, I found an MSR700! Must be good, right?" (This guy is new to the game.)

Jimmy: "It's literally the most ass gun known to mankind." (This guy is sane, and actually plays the game.)

D-E Pistol

The D-E Pistol is a gun that you can find in zombie survival game, Project Zomboid. Now any person who has played literally ANY FPS game can instantly tell that this gun is a Desert Eagle (Deagle for short, and specifically .44 Magnum version, not .50 AE.) It is a BEAST of a pistol, dealing the most damage out of any handgun (Tied with the Magnum pistol, definition coming soon :D ) and having the second highest stopping power out of any gun. (Once again, tied with the M625 revolver. That definition is ALSO coming soon :D ) For those of you who don't know what stopping power is, neither do I. (Ok, I just looked it up....apparently its "the ability to incapacitate a target"? Too hard to understand.) Ok, aside from that, the D-E pistol has some downsides. It has one of the largest detection radiuses in the game, being 70 tiles. Yikes. Not only that, this gun uses Magnum ammo which is pretty rare. Good luck finding it, because its rare. (For reference I have a few hundred hours on the game, found it like 3 times on several different saves.) And the mags for it are even rarer than the gun itself. But if you do get enough ammo and mags, you've got a hell of a reliable secondary.

Timmy: "Oh my god, it took so long, but I finally got the D-E Pistol."

Jimmy: "Good luck getting ammo for it..."

MSR788

The MSR788 is a hunting rifle in popular zombie survival game, Project Zomboid. The MSR788 has a 3 magazine capacity, chambered in .308 hunting rounds. It has an internal magazine, which means you don't need a magazine to use this weapon. Instead, your character will load it directly through the breech in the bolt. It is one of the most customizable guns in the game, being able to add NEARLY every attachment. This includes, Iron sights, Red Dot sight, 2x Scope, 4x Scope, 8x Scope, Recoil pad, Fiberglass stock, and the underbarrel laser. However, to use this rifle, it is RECOMMENDED (Not required, unlike the M16) to have aiming level 4+. This will greatly assist your efficiency in using this rifle. (Ahem, warning, the next few sentences is my OPINION. Dont shit on me for this.) The MSR788 is ass. This absolute dogshit. If you're not doing PVP, might as well toss this thing out. (After taking off the attachments.) Like actually, why would you want to pick off zombies one by one? Many more efficient weapons for that, like melees, it is only good in PVP situations, which most zomboid players wont experience (unless on a large server) because they're either playing singleplayer or teaming up with their friends on their hosted servers. I just hate this gun.

Timmy: "I found an MSR788, what a waste of a gun spawn."

Jimmy: "I know, all it does is remove another gun from the loot table of that gun closet."

M36 Revolver

The M36 revolver is a gun that you can find in zombie survival game, Project Zomboid. This gun is the last of all revolvers, and man is it different from the rest. Now lets start off with the best thing about this gun, it's really quiet. Like the most quiet in the game, being only able to be heard from 30 tiles away. Not only that, it's the most accurate out of any handgun. It's much more common than many other handguns, and can be found in cabinets. (Along with the ammo, which is .38 Special.) It cant jam, and it's the LIGHTEST of any gun in the game. Now for the downsides. It doesnt do much damage, has one less ammo capacity than other revolvers, and takes a bit longer to reload. Thats literally it. It's a really nice gun, can be used to level aiming skill for multiple reasons, it's quiet, accurate, and doesnt jam. This gun is well-rounded, personally I find it as a reliable secondary.

Timmy: "Neat, an M36 Revolver!"

Jimmy: "Cool, we can level our aiming a bit."

JS-2000

The JS-2000 is a 12 gauge pump-action shotgun that you can find in (somewhat) popular zombie survival game, Project Zomboid. This is the most common shotgun in the game, with the other being the Double Barrelled Shotgun, which isnt as efficient. The JS-2000 can hold up to 6 rounds in it at a time, it needs to be racked after every shot (which the player does automatically if animation is not cancelled by another action.) to chamber another round. This can be manually done by either holding R and pressing the rack on the wheel, or just pressing X. It can lock onto 3-5 zomboids at a time, and can pierce through them. It is currently the most efficient way to grind aiming and reloading XP in the game, as every round loaded counts for a tick of XP, and aiming XP scales with damage (for some reason). It is most commonly found in police settings, but sometimes can be found in gun cases. The ammo should be fairly abundant when you find it, but you can burn through it quick. Zomboids can also hear it from an astounding 150 tiles away, so dont use this thing willy-nilly.

Jimmy: "Hey Timmy, I just found a JS-2000!"

Timmy: "Nice, but dont waste the ammo or shoot it yet. I dont wanna fucking die."

M9 Pistol

The M9 pistol is a gun that you can find in zombie survival game, Project Zomboid. The M9 pistol has 15 round mags (Biggest pistol mag.) that use 9mm bullets. It is extremely common (Well, in terms of gun rarities.) being present in all police-themed buildings. The police officer and veteran occupation that you can select at the start of the game have a high chance of spawning this gun in your house. However, as all common things in any game has it, its kind of ass. The gun has a small base hit percentage (Without aiming levels.) and honestly just does really low damage. It'll likely be your first pistol, but with all these downsides, theres actually an upside. It has one of the lowest noise radiuses in the game, only 50 tiles which really isnt a lot. Anyways, back to downsides. The M9 is the SECOND most un-upgradable gun in the game. (The first being the JS-2000) It can only be modified with 3 attachments, Iron Sights, Red Dot sight, and the underbarrel laser. (Please for the love of god dont use the Red Dot for this gun...) It honestly just really sucks, but what much can you expect from the most common pistol of the game? Aside from downsides, upsides are it's common, somewhat reliable at aiming level 4+, and ammo + mags are really common. I really dont feel like this gun is good, or the worst. It's just.....mediocre. But like worse.

Timmy: "I found an M9 Pistol, we have like 15 of these already."

Jimmy: "Just take the ammo and mags and leave it...."
