General characteristics

Inventory image

A heavy, relatively slow pistol round

 Unlike other pistol munitions, it has slightly higher air resistance, meaning the projectile slows down and loses altitude quicker, making it less effective at long range, but it performs better against nearly any enemy type due to its power.

It is also available in .45 ACP Hydroshock.

Usage

Used by the: Kora-919, UDP Compact, SIP-t M200, Frasier and the Black Kite.

Locations

Shadow of Chernobyl

.45 ACP rounds are hard to find early in the game, but become more common once you reach Rostok. Veteran and expert Loners tend to use .45cal pistols, and since they tend to die quite often in the Wild Territory, Yantar, and in the Army Warehouses, it isn't too hard to scrounge .45cal bullets from their bodies. Mercenaries and Freedom members use .45cal pistols and Skinflint often sells this type of ammunition.

Clear Sky

It is easier to obtain these bullets in Clear Sky. They can be bought from Ashot and Professor Sakharov. Veteran and expert Loners, Bandits, and Renegades equip .45cal FMJ bullets quite often, and Monolith members, Freedom members, and most Mercenaries use .45cal pistols.

Call of Pripyat

These rounds are very abundant since many Loners, Bandits, Freedom members, Monolithians, and Zombified Stalkers use .45cal pistols. Many stashes contain at least 100 of these bullets, and they can be bought from Owl and Hawaiian.
