Glasers. Hollow points are illegal in New Jersey, except for police. I read somewhere it's a $1000 fine for every hollow point bullet they find in your gun... as well as any weapons charges. For some reason it's illegal to import hollowpoint handgun ammunition into Canada... so most boxes say "For use in rifles and carbines only". It's legal to possess or use in a handgun once in the country. I don't understand stupid laws.

:lol: I don't have any qualms about shooting people on site or stalking numpties that talk in side chat, but I draw the line at betraying or pretending to be friendly or shooting unarmed people. Each to their own. I think we have a fair idea of the general player view on the "make banditry be punished" issue.

True, but ArmA doesn't even model that for the current sniper rifles, so I think it's beyond the scope of the mod.

5.45mm should kill in 5 shots on a player with full health.

:lol: Funny you say that, since it was designed specifically for civilian use! Just a bolt rifle... Guilty.

Some people... time... too much. :lol: Hmmm, well I suppose the Winchester doesn't fit the setting either, and I don't mind it, as well as a couple other rifles. Invasion 1944 has a scoped Lee in the game which could be added with permission.

Random thought... it would be nice to be able to make a "scout rifle" in the standalone. The "scout rifle" is a concept proposed by the late Col. Jeff Cooper, intended to be a jack-off-all-trades rifle. Basic specifications pertinent to gameplay are: -.308 caliber -low-powered forward mounted optic -ghost ring iron sights -light weight -bolt-action Seems to me like it would make a good survivor's rifle (also I just think they're cool). Here are some factory interpretations:

The sniper version was specially fitted and had a scope mounted on it by Holland & Holland of London. Not as likely to pop up in an ex-Soviet republic... The actual scope used in WWII was only 3.5x. (Most scopes used in WWII were low-powered, the Germans largely used 4x scopes, the US M1903A4 only had a 2.2x scope, Soviets had 4x or 3.5x, etc)

So am I, but only because I like the skin better than the default. In standalone there will be more customization, so killing people won't be the only way to change my character skin. Ushanka, please.

Ehhhh, I dunno, it's not likely there's be any No.4 Mk.1 (T)s in Chernarus, and the military scope mount for the Enfield won't accept your average optical sight without extra bits and pieces. Would be nice to have a scoped Mosin since there are so many of those things being bubba'd every day. I wonder if the Russians like modding those rifles too... I don't think you'd be likely to find original WWII sniper rifles though, they cost!

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/111389-banned-from-us-843/ I can't read logs, all I know is 1. I wasn't hacking 2. I was banned for hacking Being the only server I've been banned from, on any game, at any time, for any reason, 843 left a bad taste in my mouth. Attitudes from certain players also sucked (*cough Brock cough*).

I would like to see packs of dogs and/or wolves. They'd introduce some actual non-player risk when out in the wilderness, plus wolf howls sound cool. It would also allow people to make cool fur hats.

I was banned from this server for "hacking" as well after I shot at some CIA dudes and stole a helicopter. I wouldn't bother with it.

Irons < Red dot < Scope That's my preference. An M14 ACOG would be oh-so-sweet. :lol:

As mentioned above, it's not just for bears, criminals use bear spray here fairly frequently. Good for incapacitating gas station clerks! I don't know how this would be implemented in-game, seems like a great thing for trolling fresh spawns but not much else... I wouldn't want to try it on an armed player.

:lol: Totally agree... I don't think diving should be in this game, never mind underwater vehicles and submarine bases. Smacks too much of The Spy Who Loved Me.

Wouldn't want people to be able to look around stuff without turning their heads. Maybe it could be a menu option or a gear option if you find a camera like Craig suggested.

I wouldn't like to see any cognisant NPCs in DayZ.

I've never considered trying FreeTrack. I should try it... I'm not really comfortable with my webcam being constantly on, though. I put frickin' electrical tape over the thing to stop gremlins spying on me. :ph34r:

Guy at the Stary tents! I'm so sorry I shot you and your two friends! Boo hoo hoo, I shall seek penance and wander the earth forevermore!

This would be cool, a way to take a picture of your current self without twisting your neck like an owl.

Good, pacifist bandits should wear a "happy" opera mask. The evil killing types should get a "sad" opera mask and be followed by haunting violin music wherever they go.

My least favorite sidearm is the PDW. I happily drop them for a Glock (my favorite). The reason is those terrible, frequently misaligned sights on the PDW... ugh. The 1911 sucks, too, the sights are just awful and accuracy is a crapshoot. The Makarov is laughably weak. The Sa-61 on private hives is about the worst PvP weapon in the game, taking 24 chest shots to kill someone. I prefer the Revolver to the 1911. If you get into a pistol fight it's easier to get a headshot. I don't usually find M9s but I prefer the Glock. Glock is my favorite, it has some of the best sights and a good sized magazine.

It's weird, because sniper rifles in Battlefield 3 apparently have slower muzzle velocities than the assault rifles! Every single muzzle velocity is totally incorrect compared to real life, and all of them are slower. The most powerful sniper is still slower than an AK in ArmA, so I agree with you, it's probably subjective... seems faster because the maps are smaller, or something. I just noticed one of the ArmA muzzle velocities I posted is also incorrect though, I'm used to seeing things in ft/s, not m/s, so I didn't realize until I converted it. The M24 should fire at about 790-800 m/s or 855 m/s depending on the load used, in ArmA it goes 900 m/s (the other 7.62 weapons should also fire at 790-800 or 855 m/s). I created a ticket on Dev-Heaven for this. :P I feel dumb now. :blush: Still, that's 710 yards compared to 1030. A round that takes 1 second to travel 700 yards will take about 1.7 seconds to travel to 1000 yards because it's slowing down all the while.
