To get the pistol in the Sons of the Forest game you must first travel to the location marked in purple. First, take out your GPS locator and you will find an area with a purple marker. The marked location is on the far left of your GPS. Keep in mind that there are other purple markers on the map, but the one with the pistol isn't on land. Instead, it's on the water, and you have to travel a certain distance from the helicopter's crash point to get there. Here is the exact location:

It would be best if you move towards the location before the exact location is shown on your GPS. Always take enough healing items with you, because you will need them. The gun is housed in an orange inflatable boat and is guarded by the sharks. So handle it with care.


Since sharks are guarding the gun in the water, make sure you have enough stamina to swim fast. Luckily, the sharks don't attack you right away, and even if they do, it will take a smaller chunk of your health. However, we advise you not to stop swimming until you reach the boat ladder. Press the E button to climb the ladder and get to the boat.


Once inside the boat, look down and you'll find the pistol. Please pick it up by pressing the E key on your keyboard. On the boat, if you're injured, heal yourself before diving back into the water, as the sharks might attack you if they see you. Keep in mind that you cannot use the pistol right away and you need to get the ammo for it.
