There is an issue with the damage output and ballistics profile of the Makarov PM (9x18mm) pistol. Currently, the weapon deals disproportionately low damage, requiring an excessive number of hits to incapacitate or eliminate even completely unarmored targets at close range.
While it is a low-caliber sidearm, its current damage values feel severely underpowered, making it practically ineffective in combat scenarios.
Steps to Reproduce:
Equip a Makarov PM pistol.
Fire multiple rounds into an unarmored enemy target at point-blank or close range (torso area).
Observe the excessive number of hits required to neutralize the target.
Expected Result: The Makarov PM should deal reasonable close-range lethality against unarmored body parts, requiring a realistic number of shots to incapacitate a target.
Actual Result: The pistol deals minimal damage, taking far too many hits to kill or incapacitate target players/AI.
