How does the Pistol work in Stillskin Forest?
The Pistol fires one 34-damage bullet up to 250 studs, with a 12-round magazine, 0.35 seconds between shots and a 1.6-second reload. Headshots deal double (68). It uses Pistol Ammo, and every shot is heard by infected up to 90 studs away.

Overview
A reliable sidearm and the longest-range weapon in the game. Found guns come loaded. Pressing R moves rounds from your reserve into the magazine, and an empty gun reloads by itself. Switching away cancels a reload.
Aiming and headshots
Aiming with right mouse tightens your spread considerably. A headshot does double damage (68 against 34 on the body in testing), shows a gold hitmarker and can stagger. See Aiming and reloading.
Tips
- Two headshots drop a Walker; one drops a Runner.
- Kill a Screamer at range before it alerts everything within 100 studs.
- Every shot pulls in calm infected within 90 studs. Fire, then move.
