In answer to the OP: No. Now it's released, it's getting a great deal of user/load testing and the stats will be showing the Devs where the problems lie. That's our best chance of getting the game Rocket and his team intended us to have.

Google "Minute Of Angle"..

The only way to create a safe area would to have a ring or armed people keeping it safe 24/7.

Around 4 MOA at 300 metres, so about twice as much dispersion as an M4.

Don't count on sniping anything with an SKS.. As accurate as an AK-47 IIRC.

Depends if you're happy with 5 FPS. I think you should aim for Low graphics settings. Or buy a desktop.

^ This. Unless you're running 4 GPUs in Crossfire/SLI or doing something that actually uses HyperThreading, those i5s can't be beaten for gaming when overclocked. I don't see anything on the CPU horizon that's going to make my 2500K (4.3GHz under H60) obsolete..

My money's on it being The Illuminati. Can't turn your back on those buggers for an instant..

Does one of your friends have a high ping?

M4 is a very different beast from a civilian AR-15 with a straight-pull bolt. For a start, the M4's barrel has a different feed-ramp profile to deal with the FTFs caused by the high bolt speed due to the carbine length gas system. If Colt had to do that to load M855 Ball rounds reliably, a jacketless soft lead bullet doesn't stand chance UNLESS you drop the rounds into the chamber manually and hit the bolt release each time.

Unless you can mould copper jackets around those soft lead 5.56mm bullets you're planning to make, they won't even feed.

Yep.

Not a chance.

Oooh, I'd propper soil myself if that happened to me..

You mean that people have Steam account names that aren't their internet/forum name?

Nonsense. A 26" barrelled shotgun with a modified or half choke will put over 50% of pellets in a 30" circle at 40 yards. A sawn-off chopped just in front on the fore-end will through a shot pattern at that distance that a human can stand in unscathed.

Dispersion should be epic with a sawn off, so much so that pellet do zero damage after 50 metres. Both barrels under 10 metres should be a one shot kill if target isn't wearing body armour.

Died this way many time playing the Mod..

+1 for satchel charge. Or using satchel charge/axe to drop tree across tracks.

Yes, providing they are very rare and need enormous amount of maintenance to keep running. If they are made lockable, car theft kits need to be available.

Normally, I'd associate artefacts like those with either an overheating GPU or a failing GPU overclock. When was the last time you cleaned out the fans on your graphics card and is it overclocked? Have you tried changing the 3D Graphics options in Catalyst Control Centre? You can make a profile just for DayZ which loads when you start the game.

Common sense is now so rare, it's practically a super power.

And both kinds panic log the moment they see another armed player who's seen them.

30 second logoff timer worked nicely on the Mod servers I saw it activated on.
