-Gews-

Note most of these firearms are .22 caliber. Skip to 2:50 to see how it sounds when used on a gun firing a larger caliber... sounds pretty loud to me when compared to a "proper" suppressor but it's hard to tell from videos. Being able to craft these would be better than the scrapped idea of crafting Aimpoints, etc, but I'm not sure what rifles / pistols they'd be able to be used on or how they'd affect sight pictures, also the default "silenced" sound is way too quiet at the moment, even for "real" suppressors.

Typical Gews settings and FPS: Looks divine. B)

Call me crazy, but I suspect part of the reason is because a lot of the players are Western, and want to see their favorite Western weapons... ech... :ph34r:

I don't see why not. We have armed helicopters, armed pickups and such would not be a problem. No armored vehicles though...

Ahem. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/132424-want-lee-enfield-or-cz550-trading-dmr-2-magazines-pdw-several-magazines-rangefinder-nvgs-gps-most-supplies/ Unforunately Dolan missed the boat on that one... I can trade an Enfield for it though.

I think the SVD should be more common, especially considering the commercial variants and other "similar" rifles (PSL). M24s and M40A3s are rare in comparison, they cost what, $7,000 last I checked? The SVD isn't nearly as accurate or expensive, and I bet there have been a shit ton of them made. Not only the Russians in-game used this, but it was also the standard sniper rifle of BOTH Chernarussian factions! It should be far more common than Western guns... I rarely see any SVDs and the normal SVD isn't even in DayZ. Tears of rage. As for accuracy: 3.8cm R100 is enough to be effective, but nothing to brag about... .

Mmmmm only a single scoped hunting rifle in the game... versus, what, 8 times as many scoped military rifles? They should add a Tigr or something as well as other hunting rifles to find in the deer stands. It gets boring looting deer stands when they only ever spawn one rifle, there's no variety in civilian weapons so everyone just runs to the barracks and fire stations, which means everyone is usually in the same places... meh. <_<

I don't get that either... makes no sense, I have no idea what BIS was thinking. Hmmm, actually, maybe it was a way for players with keyboards to moderate their speed instead of doing ALL ENGINES FULL AHEAD every time they pressed "W". I also suspect "turbo" mode uses up more fuel but I haven't checked at all, just a gut feeling...

When you said poncho, I assumed you meant this: Which in turn reminded me of these: As for tents, as of now I don't bother sleeping in them, not much point, perhaps with new features they could be of more use, rain has little effect at the moment.

Not an AS50, it's a Chinese M99.

Blown up Humvees and such are everywhere because that's whats in the ArmA editor, it's also a convenient excuse to throw a massive amount of US weapons into the game... there are many, many more Western weapons than Soviet ones.... that's ridiculous, and the worst part is how the loot tables leave out many different types of Soviet weaponry in favor of a different M4 variant, etc. Also I don't like balancing arguments at all when it comes to guns.

Except the AS50 is rare... like, really rare. I don't even think it's in service with UK forces. I haven't seen a single picture of anyone using it in combat.

I do this too.

SVD non-camo.

Nothing unbalanced, except for this:

Not sure about this... it depends where would you be finding the guns, I suppose. Lying in a ditch, or in someone's house? I'd find it a bit unrealistic to have every gun start out broken... they're made to be rugged and dependable.

Okay, I assumed you meant "impossible to fire the gun". No-scoping is a problem with crosshairs enabled, but the same is true of all guns. Removing the crosshair would benefit gameplay and add a new dimension to choosing a weapon. Non-50s.

How about no? It's like this: pull the trigger and the gun goes boom. They should be very unsteady when standing, I doubt anyone can hold a 30 pound, 5 foot long gun with any kind of steadiness in standing or kneeling positions. I hope you weren't talking about "normal" sniper rifles...

Heh pretty sure that's next to impossible, and they could just spoof it.

They should mimic their real-lie counterparts... AS50s and M107s can do that by either staying in America and in the labs of Accuracy International, or by being so heavy no one will actually want to take one... I have no idea why DayZ hasn't already added in weapons like the AK-74 PSO, the PKM, PKP, SVD, etc, when they have added in American versions of the above-mentioned guns. It truly confounds me.

Yes... and are they seriously going to add reloading equipment, cases, bullets, electronic powder scales? I don't think it's realistic to have people "crafting" match-grade .50-caliber ammunition from some silly improvised "in Soviet Russia" setup...

Exactly the right idea.

Not any more devastating than a normal shotgun, if anything pellets / slugs would have less velocity / penetration.

Missed this. 11 kg empty, dat's on Wiki. What's not on Wiki: It can fire the 12.7x108mm 7N34 sniper round, this is a 910-grain (59 g) bullet at a nominal muzzle velocity of 2,526 ft/s (770 m/s). Another source lists a sniper round which is 864 grains (56g) at a nominal muzzle velocity of 2,395 ft/s (730 m/s) but doesn't say if it's the 7N34 or a different variant such as SPTs. Without actually chronographing the rifle it's hard to say which figures are correct. Perhaps both. These sniper loads were introduced by the KBP Design Bureau and the bullets are made of solid steel or solid brass depending on the load. Thinking in my head, perhaps the heavier bullet is the brass variant and the lighter one the steel, this could also explain why one is so much slower (steel is harder, more force from rifling? Maybe they switched entirely to brass... steel bullets sound nasty. Who knows.) (By comparison the M107 usually fires M33 ball, this varies by manufacturer but Barrett's own standard XM33 is 661 gr at 2,750 ft/s). It can also fire the various other 12.7x108mm rounds including armor-piercing and incendiary bullets, this seems to be more common in practice. Accuracy is said to be about 2 MOA with machine-gun-grade ammunition (unimpressive) although it will improve when using better cartridges.
