9x19mm P should be more common

What do you guys think? Have you considered using the Glock or the MP5k in any runs of yours? Me either, and that's because while they do less damage than .45—which is valid—there's also way less ammo for it in comparison. This is also the problem that .22 has.

Only two guns use .22: the MKII and the Sporter. While you often get from 25 to 30 ammo per drop, you easily need around 5 to 10 shots to kill a single enemy and it's basically unusable then. Something similar happens to 9x19mm Parabellum; only the Glock and MP5k use it. .45, on the other hand, has five guns: the 1911, the modified 1911, the FNX45, the UMP and the Kriss Vector, and a lot or bandits carry the 1911 and UMP so you'll find plenty. Even 9x18 and .357 rounds have at least 3 guns that use them and they're all commonplace, whereas only the Beret zombie carries the glock so only him and the Gorka with MP5k drop 9x19mm—and rarely do so at that.

Considering the game is set in an eastern european nation, it would make more sense that 9x19 would be easier to find.

I would add a new, intermediate pistol: maybe a beretta M9 that regular bandits and survivord carry, which would follow the theme that .45 has of "old gun outclassed by modern gun" (the FNX holds more ammo, fires faster and does more damage than the 1911, and the M9 would fit that role perfectly as lesser than the glock)

As it is, there's not that big of an incentive to use the caliber and it would be nice to mix up the gameplay. I wonder what you guys think.

Unfortunate luck

(MDZ+ 1.9.8) I was in island 4, a blood moon occured and I went into a military base because I wanted to have some fun fighting hordes of soldiers. I quickly noticed that I had dumped an entire MP5 mag into a group of enemies and that one of them had survived despite taking most of the shots.

It was an Atlyn zombie—which I thought notorious to begin with, specially with how early he is with it being the 4th island—but I know that they don't spawn on normal bases, so he must've came from somewhere else. Another one appears, and while he chews through my ammo and kills my partner, I saw where he appeared from so I investigated and lo and behold the Humvee base was right there. It's not that crazy, but it was a cool way of finding it so I wanted to share it.

Also, footnote: I had died earlier in the run but I have all of the positive traits on so I revived; I found out that if you die while cooking an item and it's not done cooking yet, you'll spawn with the cooked steak in your inventory. I have no screenshots, it is probably a bug and it is definetly not useful, but it was another interesting thing that happened in that game.
