Gun stores should also have plenty of ammo around for you to take, too.
If you want to find your nearest gun store, use theProject Zomboid map project.
Fortunately, some guns do spawn in places that aren’t so busy with zombies.

you might also find them on zombie corpses (more commonly on police officer zombies).
They spawn very rarely, but can potentially show up just about anywhere in Project Zomboid.
Shotguns are harder to find, but they spawn in the same locations as pistols.

Instead, we recommend using a holster for small guns and attaching big guns to your back.
When you’ve got a gun, you’ll need to find out if it has any ammo.
To do this, head to your inventory and hover over the weapon.
In the info panel that pops up, you’ll see the current ammo count for the gun listed.
This only includes bullets that are currently loaded into your gun, not ammo in your inventory.
To load ammo into a pistol or rifle, you’ll need some rounds and a magazine.
Just right-opt for magazine in your inventory and select load bullets into magazine.
you could then insert this loaded magazine into your gun by pressing the R key to reload.
Shotguns are a little easier, as you don’t need a magazine.
To load a shotgun, simply equip it in both hands and press the R key.
If you have any shells in your inventory, your character will automatically load them into the shotgun.
Unfortunately, you could only earn aiming XP by shooting enemies, making it extremely difficult to level.
We recommend only leveling the aiming skill when you’re away from yourbase.
If you shoot zombies near your base, the noise could attract hordes and get you killed.
Thats everything you gotta know about guns in Project Zomboid.
