Even experienced soldiers will tell you these things are impractical outside of specialized military situations... survivors having them is silly and me no likey. "The .50 cal is a great sniper tool when conducting mounted operations or even aerial platform shooting but can be a bit cumbersome for dismounted operations due to its size and weight... I’m certainly not saying the 50 cal can’t be taken on a dismounted patrol because it can, but it must be employed with a team much like a crew served weapon, not very practical." -CW3 (US Army Special Forces, Retired) D. Brad Smith

Why was this bumped... Anyways there's no reason for the AS50 to be that powerful, it's more powerful than ArmA's 23mm and 25mm cannon shells. :rolleyes: Just a silly decision by Bohemia is all, no logical explanation for it, it should be patched.

More flare gun stories... Not that effective it would seem...

Flare gun is a good idea, as long as there isn't the usual Hollywood lethality.

There was talk of instanced underground bases...

Here's a video of some people shooting the pack by itself :lol: absurd.

That is quality British workmanship.

Oh man, I had a fun run-in with a bandit clan... 6 tagged members online, more without tags... it didn't go well for me (at all) but it was damned exciting. :D

Never thought of DayZ that way, my character is just some dude, don't care about him at all, he has no story, I only care about my gear, and only slightly at that. Even if I die, I don't consider my freshly spawned dude a brand new character. It's just the same old me.

At shorter ranges it doesn't matter, you can judge it by eye, at longer ranges you'll want a rangefinder, you can also use the mil dots on the scopes to estimate, some servers have nametags (icky) which give you an exact range, other servers let you mark waypoints on the map which will give you a range. About drop... bullets drop at the same rate, the difference is that some bullets move a lot farther in the same timeframe... A Winchester bullet traveling 200 meters takes longer to get there than a 5.56 bullet, so it will drop more because it takes longer to get there. All bullets are dropping all the time though, but it might not seem like that due to... "Zeroing" Many guns have a fixed range they are zeroed at, meaning the bullet hits your line-of-sight at that range. Guns with sights set for a shorter distance will seem to have far more drop at longer ranges, but guns with sights set for long distances will shoot too high at close ranges. Some guns have adjustable sights.

Agreed, a day or so ago I saw a guy whining in side chat about being killed "when he had nothing". He then went on to say he "only" had a Lee Enfield. "Only"... :rolleyes:

I saw a guy in Stary with a DMR, shot him, turned out he had a double-barrel... yeah, Frankie and others do most of their narration well after they've recorded the gameplay.

I think it was achieving Platinum after killing several dozen rioting zombie monkeys and taking their gold coins in a prison facility on Mars. That shit stuck with me. In other words I came into the game with the intent of performing banditry. I don't think I count as a bandit right now, no bandit skin. ^_^

Ehhhhh, so... how do I get the info on the test server... and stuff... kind of a dithering fool here. :D

One server I play on has C130 crash sites that spawn medical loot, they also have rusted BMP "crash sites"... I'd prefer an AN-2 crash site, the C130 is massive and the crash site model isn't very good (looks like someone burnt a jumbo hotdog). I don't see why not, we already have helicopter crash sites... planes are cool, just no fighter jets.

Bandits KoS, griefers break your legs and bandage you? :lol:

Messing around in Movie Maker, too, don't expect quality gameplay here, expect... a mess. :lol:

Hmmm, either near Kamenka, near Skalisty Island, below Berezino, or near that little inlet up far North.

Yeah, somehow Movie Maker's 480p seems like my regular 240p...

It's the music Also the humanity, the humanity... killed 5 people tonight, was still sitting pretty in the 2000s. B)

Ah, but you also have to hold RMB to zoom in while looking around, which I do extremely frequently... apparently it still holds your breath even if you aren't looking down your sights. I bound hold breath to the spacebar (if I'm holding my breath, I'm probably not going to be on the move). It's worked for me so far. Frederf says: "Asphyxiating yourself just to scan your surroundings in a close to 1:1 FOV environment is beyond moronic."

Steak likes it rough?

Bahahahaha

Is that necessarily a bad thing? I mean, I have a book on the subject...

Stuff you've done...?
