I would agree with you-- IF this was true. The fact is, you will always find a bunch of rifles. Having more types of weapons is different than have a higher quantity of weapons... and I don't think there is any one suggesting a higher quantity of weapons-- exactly for your reasons above To do this, we could just make the rifle rarer and add no other weapons. Its a valid way to do it. Another way is to keep the quantity of weapons about the same (or less) but split that quantity into different types. This has a few benefits: 1. More realistic (take or leave this argument ) 2. Encourages different styles of play -- the player has to react to which weapon they have. 3. This adds depth to the game, and adds to the survival feel IMO -- using what you can find, not waiting to find a rifle. I agree with you about the smaller amount of rifles perhaps (2 instead of 4/5 per area, ammo amounts seem good though), but I don't think we need extra types of firearms. More improvised weapons like a tomahawk etc.. would be cool, might just be me but I like the crafting aspect in survival. Again, just an opinion and I'm happy with your counters ;-)

I agree with anyone who is saying we need more weapons but I don't think it should be firearms. I like the fact that we only have the rare find of a hunting rifle and that the bow is so hard to make and when you'd add even more firearms it would take away the struggle to get all the stuff to make yourself a tool to defend yourself with. Now having said that I wouldn't mind seeing an additional 2 possible extra weapons. Suggestion 1: Simply a rock, you should be able to find small rocks laying about (can't harvest big rocks just like you can't chop down a tree) and throw these rocks. By throwing the rock it should be able to kill rabbits, scare wolfs away but not fatally harm them and be absolutely useless to a bear. (Make the rocks heavy enough so players won't take too many of them, suggested weight 1kg). Suggestion 2: A tomahawk, you know the stone throwing axes. Now this could be a tool that requires crafting for which I suggest the following items needed. 1x rock, 1x reclaimed wood and 2x cured gut to attach the rock to the wood. This should not make it too easy to make but still an extra way of defending yourself (the actual durability should also be balanced to X amount of throws). (Suggested weight 2.5kg)
