How to get Pistol ammo in Sons Of The Forest
To get Pistol ammo in Sons Of The Forest, you’re going to have to explore across the island. You can’t make ammo yourself, so your only option is to start delving in caves and looting marked locations.
Keep an eye out as you explore landmarks, as you’ll often find a few bullets in boxes on the floor.
If you run out of ammo, or don’t want to waste your own bullets, we’d recommend handing the Pistol toVirginia. Virginia doesn’t need ammo to fire the Pistol, as she has an unlimited supply.

Where to find the Pistol rail in Sons Of The Forest
To get the Pistol rail, you must go back to the beach near where you first found the Pistol. Follow the image above to find the exact location, where you’ll find a corpse slumped against a rock. If you’re struggling to find the corpse, follow the music.
When you find the body, loot it to get the Pistol rail. There are also other items on the ground, including some food, ammo, a grenade, and some printer resin for the3D printer.
The Pistol rail doesn’t technically improve the Pistol alone. Instead, you must combine the Pistol with the rail before you can use any of the other attachments, so it’s still incredibly important.
