Make the Makorov 1x1

[Yukari_Akiyama]

There isn't a lot incentive to use Markov right now as the Tokarev is the superior burner pistol. I think in order to make the Markov a useful weapon the gun should be down sized to 1x1 as it's a pretty compact pistol over all and it's capabilities are limited anyway. It's not much as the gun is only 4k roubles but it will help the newer players that are still getting a hang of things and are dirt poor and don't have access to decent pistols.

It's still taking one pistol slot, so you don't want to use it more but just be able to loot more of them?

Easier to store in stash, easier to pick up off scavs. 9x18 is a pretty weak round and I don't want the devs to inflate damage artificially like most video games do.

Haha like Rainbow 6 were the PM is like a magnum.

It's already quite small, making it 1x1 is pretty drastic as it's value per slot is raised considerably so people would loot it more but not use it more (given it's price and availability, I don't think its stash size is the problem, storing dozens of it is not really a problem). If anything, I'd rather make the bigger pistols 1x3.

I already use the PM a lot, it's a fun little piece, very accurate at short range (the real one is also very accurate and reliable, it's a really good design) and what would incentivize me to use it more is to fix the zeroing and bullet drop for it so I don't need to aim with the firing pin (and of course hitreg to land these sweet face shots).
