Makarov PM

The Pistolet Makarova or simply Makarov was adopted as a Soviet standard-issue military and law enforcement sidearm until its replacement by the MP443 in 1991. Commonly found in civilian areas with an abundance of 9x18 mm Makarov ammunition, the Makarov is frequently carried by the earliest arrivals to the island as they scrounge what they can to defend themselves. While inferior to and frequently discarded in favour of 9mm and .45 pistols, one should not overlook the high rate of fire and low recoil of the Makarov allowing easy follow-up shots in a close situation.

"...The undead had been following my trail for hours. All I had was an old pick I found. Enough to deal with one or two but not this horde on my tail. I found an old Soviet pistol in this hut on a hill. A Godsend! I have just shot them, all of them. One bit me, I will rest here for a while... Wait, I hear footsteps. Not the unsteady gate of the dead, could this be a survivor?" -Excerpt from the bloodied passages of a diary, found on a gutted human corpse.

The Makarov PM can be found just about anywhere.

"Well aren't you adorable!"
