SVD and Bizon, in all seriousness. The SVD's good combo of wide FoV and zoom allows for spotting duties, but the built-in rangefinder allows for good long range shots. And dat camo. Not to mention the good-sized round that can match the DMR pretty dang closely. The Bizon's silencer makes it near-unhearable. It's ammo is rare, granted, but if you use the "backpack-refill" glitch (which everyone is guilty of at some point in their gaming life), the couple of magazines you will probably find go a long way. 64 rounds per magazine, minimal recoil and meh iron sights (if you can deal with the Winchester and Makarov, this is nothing NEAR as bad). All in all, 64-round mags + headshots = 64 kills per mag. Not many other guns can make that boast, and it's good for practice in the woods because people can't hear you fire. I've had my fair share of kills with it. Now, for an all-around useful gun, I would pick the FN FAL or L85A2 Holo. Skip the SUShAT, that scope is whorendous (RWJ, anyone?). The FAL's good sights and super-high damage are all big plusses in my checkbook, and the burst-mode for clearing rooms (AKA PANIC MODE) is sure to kill em' before they hit the ground. the Holo doesn't have much going for it beyond the M4A1 CCO, but the specialty reticle and laser attatchment I find very useful during squad night-raids, plus the small bullpup-accuracy bonus. The reload also sounds jesusly, too. like the Terminator is popping his knuckles or something.

I wanna perform surgery with a Makarov. It's so weak you could probably safely do it without any other internal bleeding... Also, speaking of calibers. On the DayZ wki it states that the Makarov does more damage than the M9 and G17. Is that actually true? or did someone BS that. Might make the Big Mak Attak a little more viable as a gun, considering it's shitty accuracy, shitty sights, and shitty magazine size.

I will find anything you want if you can find me tank traps, sandbags and CAT wire.
David375 replied to woochikaboo's topic in Trading
I've never been too much interested in the Dew, as it's curse has always came true in the past (most likely bad luck, as I have only had it twice). The Makarov SD is much wanted and I will trade an RF for the Makarov SD and the RPK mag. If you find the RPK itself that would warrant a pair of NVG's or GPS to pair with it. I would probably pay an M9SD with a magazine for a Bizon mag (which I feel is waaay overpay, but I don't need both the makarov SD and the M9SD as I currently have very limited external storage). PM me where you want to meet this weekend. I won't be available Friday afternoon as I have a concert to play in, or Saturday from 1 PM to somewhere around 4 PM (West Coast U.S.A time). However, I am available Saturday morning or Sunday morning. PM me where and when you want to meet. -
Willing to trade FN fal with 1 mag. for a tent.
David375 replied to Spunkey Doodle's topic in Trading
I'll let you know if I come across one. -
I would also take the Soldier clothing, which I would pay a more for than a Ghillie suit if it's that rare.

I doubt they used that word back in 1337, but I could be wrong =3. anyways, why not snipe with slugs? the 1887 Lever rifle has meh sights, but the M1014 could be used decently with slugs at range. I've done it before. 250~meter kill

Well if you want to go multiple ammo-types, then you could either get a double barrel and load one type of ammo in each barrel, or better yet, get a Chiappa Triple-Threat 3-barrel shotgun and try slugs in two, buck in one, or buck in one, slugs in one, and for the ultimate stupidty, frag rounds or dragon's breath in the third. Probably a more practical option would be to have multiple magazines loaded with two different types of ammo that are welded together, so you can quick-change to either mag for new capabilities. Or they could just include the M126, with it's quad-tube magazine that rotates so you can have multiple loading tubes with new types of ammo in each. Now what would be REALLY hilarous would be a Pancor Jackhammer, extended magazine and mixed-ammo magazines, in this order: buck, slug, dragon's breath combo slug/pellet, frag, cut-shell, .50 BMG specialty. Can't get close enough to avoid, can't get far enough away to not get fragged or set on fire, or have a huge-ass hole punched in ya. plus dat firerate

You should have to "zero" a scope when you add it to a weapon
David375 replied to Ham_Sandwich27's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
Thanks! keep in mind, some weapons have less-stable mounts than others. For example, the Mosin Nagant's side-mount (also used on AK's without native Picatinny rails, eg AKM, AK-74 Kobra) are more prone to bending from impacts and such, and are more likely to "wobble" side to side. The Picatinny rail is less likely to wobble because it has claw-mounts on both sides of the rail, leaving very little give in side-to-side. So some guns may experience less "wobble" side to side than forward to backward in their sight-mechanism, so some guns should be more likely to go out. For example, an AK-74U Kobra vs an M4A1 CCO. Also, Belt-release mounted sights, like the Mk-48, have been known to have some issues with flipping the belt-release up constantly, de-zeroing the sight more often than stabilized sights on mag-fed guns. Could also play a role in that. More food for thought. -
Ok. I gave this offer to a bunch of other dudes, so now it's just a race to see who responds first.I have 7 M9SD magazines, 2 RF, 2 NVG's, 1 GPS. I am looking for Bizon ammo (assuming you don't have any, but might as well ask), a Coyote/Czech backpack, and a ghillie suit. How much of what do you want for one of each?

David375 replied to Brady12's topic in Trading
Awright. I got 7 M9SD magazines, 2 NVG's, 2 RF's and a GPS for trade. How much of what for a ghillie suit? plus any Bizon ammo you have (I'm guessing you dont have any considering you don't have the gun, but might as well ask.) -
I'm not sure what you mean by jfyk, but I have magazines for trade. I could give you a fair number if you can get me a Bizon magazine. I know I posted on a lot of your other trades about this, and I don't mean to harass, I just want to let ya know that I got a few of these sittin around.

Offering a (large) Coyote backpack with NVGs in it for a fishing pole.
David375 replied to woochikaboo's topic in Trading
with all due respect, what does the fishing rod actually do? is it like TP and other placeholders, or can you actually fish with it and eat fish? -
[RT] Trading Back I Guns N Supplies plus a bonus the next 3 days!
David375 replied to razzored's topic in Trading
Most of these trade posts are on the public, or some multi-server private hive. Mostly public. When you are on a public hive server, your character and loot saves to the public hive and is transferred to any other public hive server you go to. It WILL NOT, however, carry over to private hives/individual servers. Example: Public hive servers X, Y, and Z are online. If I were to join public server X and find, say, a dead guy on the sniper building in Cherno and steal his, say, SVD Camo and nice backpack full of food and ammunition. I could now log off with his loot and switch to server Y or Z, where I could get down the building safely and away to a location, where, on server X, I have some tents which I can stash the good loot in and sell back to you guys! That's just one commonly used trading technique, which, when used to gain combat advantages, is called ghosting and is deeply frowned upon. But in not-trying-to-kill-anyone trading biz, it's all good. -
You should have to "zero" a scope when you add it to a weapon
David375 replied to Ham_Sandwich27's topic in DayZ Mod Suggestions
I like what this guy said. However, quick edit to his idea (hope you don't mind, Sandwich). If a gun is found with a precision scope on it, imagine what would happen. the original owner guy dropped his gun when he died/ran away, so there is a good chance that the scope, if it isn't broken, would have shifted some on it's mount (this is assuming you aren't raiding the barracks, which would presumably have some sort of "gun safe" to protect them from this). This shouldn't affect RDS sights so much as precision telescopic sights, but there should be, say, a 40% odds that the scope is misaligned on a weapon you find with a sight attatched. Just food for thought -
Bump that gear up!

David375 replied to woochikaboo's topic in Trading
Not a problem! If you want one of my NVG's, RF's or GPS's outright, I can do that. Otherwise, take a look at my shop post for what I currently have and want: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/145601-davids-shop-of-stuff/ . If you have something I want or if I have something you want from that link, you can make an offer on that thread, PM me, or reply on this thread and I will recieve it. -

David375 replied to razzored's topic in Trading
Looking for Bizon magazines, a Makarov SD or the RPK. If you got any of those, I got some M9SD's, NVG's and RF's for ya (maybe a GPS if it wasn't stolen). -
Whenever I think of getting multiple kills, I think of shotguns with double-0 buckshot at just enough range to catch two or three heads in the cone of fire. However, what if there was real penetration and you were using slugs in a building, where all the zombies lined up as they walked in the door? good god, you would rip the crap out of every zombie there. It would make the R870 usable and the M1014 a beastly anti-zombie weapon. the Saiga and AA-12 would be downright broken in the mods that use them (Namalsk + god knows what)

David375 replied to woochikaboo's topic in Trading
I'll be willing to pay a lot more for the makarov SD and the bizon mags than the RPK, because I already have a Bizon and prefer it over the RPK. -

David375 replied to woochikaboo's topic in Trading
Well, not sure if this is possible, but if you can find me any of the following, I can get you an according amount of CAT wires and Tank Traps: RPK-74, mags are a bonus but not necessary Bizon SD mags Makarov SD, mags are a bonus but not necessary Once you find one of the items I need, let me know and I can either go hunt for some stuff or trade off one of my NVG/RF pairs for some -
Also, congrats on the marriage! I sure hope you purchased everything you ever wanted, want, or will want BEFORE you put the ring on her finger =3
-
I'm baaaaaack! How many M9SD mags for some Bizon mags? (say, 2 or so Bizons
-
True. Dis is why I want it. If you can aim, 64 kills per magazine. sounds good with me
-
perhaps. if you can answer a few questions for me: How old are you? How active are you? How long have you been playing? Do you have a vehicle? Do you use any dirty methods to gain items or kill people (cheats, glitches, etc)?
