How about Makarov POWAH!!! Recorded with Potato POWAH!!!
-
Well I'm pretty sure no one apart from the devs has a clue ^_^ everything else would be conjecture. It might well... I hope it's handled realistically, maybe there could be a certain chance of disabling it but not automatically every time. Here's a pic from Vietnam, this M16 was hit by a 12.7mm DShK round and knocked out of the guy's hands. Luckily he wasn't hit! Stuff like that could shatter stocks, damage internal and external parts and cause jams. Whether the rifle keeps working or not... that depends. I don't think many people have actually tested firing bullets at guns and seeing how much damage it would do, and how often.
-
I don't think shooting a gun out of someone's hands would be a very effective tactic. I've seen it done once... on YouTube. Some guy trying to commit suicide and the police sniper shot his gun away. Awesome stuff. As for whether it would disable a gun (in real life), it depends where it hits. There are AKs with bullet holes in the stock, obviously those would keep on working unless the operator was hit as well. Agent Jerry Dove had his 9mm hit by a .223 round in the FBI Miami shootout and it was disabled.

DayZ Commander? Edit: here's the reinforcements patch to 1.62, needs 1.60 first. http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=17252

This is true, but the current crosshairs allow 200-metre snap shots... way too helpful. Some people can just shoulder their rifle and point it like a skeet shooter, and they can be surprisingly accurate at close ranges. All about balance. Personally I prefer no crosshair since the middle of the screen gives an okay idea of where to aim as well.
-
You'd also need a zoom, free look, left and right leaning keys, strafe left and right, hold breath, channel switch, fire mode, binoculars, night vision, etc. I suppose you could do it, but you'd be horribly handicapped against people using a mouse and keyboard.

It would be nice to be able to slash tires using the hunting knife. No, most tires don't explode like the famous Youtube video. :ph34r:
-
Meh, I'm not really talking about long-lasting duels here, that's not the focus of the game, just making hand-to-hand combat a bit more complicated (fun?) than simply spamming the mouse button.
-
Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. I don't even bother picking up that garbage anymore.
-
Yup, that is also incorporated in Mount & Blade, although it's hard to do (it's gonna be extremely difficult to block some guy going apeshit on your dome with a hatchet in real life, too).

Not that simple. Hitpoint damage is flawed though.
-
Yeah, it's dumb that I prefer a weapon I seem to do much better with. Sometimes I choose a worse weapon to challenge myself, or because I like it in real life. Who cares if I die anyways? It's a freakin' game, I lose absolutely nothing by death! :lol: I have nothing more to say here. As you were.
-
Actually it can be fun, why the hell would someone buy a muzzle-loading musket instead of an AR-15? Oh wait, they must be dumb. Some guns are better than others, it seems to me like you want all the weapons to be artificially balanced or simply removed if they aren't all equally as good as each other.
-
Given the current damage system it doesn't really matter if it hits their eye vs their forehead... The sights do not line up fine, the front blade is too low and to the left. It should line up with the rear sight and be centered.
-
They are definitely flawed, they don't line up correctly at all. Seems like some modeller at Bohemia had the "weird disability" with the 1911's sights, not me.
-
And the 1911's iron sights are horribly flawed. Dispersion might be the same, but I tried them in the editor and for whatever reason I consistently did much much much better with the revolver, so I prefer the revolver. And I suppose that answers your original question, "So what is the point (besides variety) of having the revolver and M9 in DayZ?" Personal preference.
-
All I know is that I can't hit a barn door with the 1911 and I can make a head shot on a standing target at 50-75m with the revolver. (High as a kite)
-
Because some guns are just better than others and humans like variety. Personally I'd take a revolver over a 1911 because I can at least hit stuff with it, and zombies need headshots. The 1911 is the gimped one, in my opinion...
-
-grab what you need and head North -don't go to airfields -be sneaky and observant -learn to avoid zombies

Adding thermal anything would be terrible. I'm sure there are loads of multi-thousand-dollar thermal binoculars in countries like Chernarus where everyone is driving 25-year old Soviet cars and the largest city is the size of a small town. This is an even worse suggestion... any thermal added should have real-life magnification and capabilities. Nerfing things simply for gameplay reasons is bad - if they need to be nerfed, don't add them in the first place.
-
I have no idea. Some of my lives tended to be fairly long as I, not knowing the map, would happily march off into the wilderness and die of starvation.
-
I once knew a guy who ate his Siamese fighting fish. Sad times. All hackers are bad!
-
I would expect an opinion like that from someone who only plays musical games.
-
All hackers are bad, whether they be Chinese or preteens.
