Ideally a DMR or an M14 AIM with about 6 mags and a Glock 17 with 4 mags, perhaps an M67 or two, save the backpack and extra space for supplies. If I could have any (reasonable) Arma weapon... probably an L85 ACOG. 4x scope with BDC and a red dot as well! I like that gun.

Utes... so small! No way to survive on that map.

They're not supposed to be used by military forces, although they do use OTM bullets which are not designed to expand... I believe some of the first 7.62mm OTM ammo issued had a "not for combat use" label or something similar. Nothing at all. "Edit: look, I changed mine to some random-ass Indian thingummy."

It only kills in 1 shot within about 100m... after that it's 2 shots or more.

This forum can do that.

Bump! Look, I was bored, so proof 5.56mm is still effective in ArmA. Look, even the Makarov works. I bet there would be all sorts of complaining if we had this sort of lethality in DayZ. <_<

Never bind that to a key! Death before dishonour!

I didn't watch the video the first time, but I have to ask... WHY DID YOU RUN IN THERE AND SPRAY TWO FULL MAGAZINES WITHOUT AIMING? You have a freakin' ACOG, hide in a bush 200m away and wait until they run out...

I will buy it. I will see how it runs. If so, I will eagerly test out new features.

We could have a little halo floating above the legendary player's heads, and the worst bandits could sprout horns and a tail...

I drive in the middle, when I'm on the road, that is.

----- Fuck! Fuck, I'm fucking lagging! Noob: What a noob! Medic: A noob? Noob: Look at him, he can't even run right! Medic: He's not, it's a lag - he's having an issue with his connection - Noob: But is he running?

I....

True, but what units even use AS50s? I can't find much information on it. Also, the AS50 is ridiculously overpowered. They need to make it do about the same damage as the M107, there's no good explanation for why it does FIVE times as much damage per shot. Really ticks me off...

Are you one of the many men and women serving this fine country?

Meh, I usually KOS anyone who has any type of rifle or shotgun, even pistols or hatchets if they're too close. My weakness is if they are able to say "friendly" or "don't shoot" before I open fire... I planned to kill a guy in a barn and ran in with my AK but he said "friendly, friendly, don't shoot" over direct, so I felt bad and decided not to kill him. But then he tried sneaking towards me with the hatchet repeatedly saying "there's a Winchester over here somewhere" when it was clearly on the other side of the barn, so I was forced to shoot him.

Can you imagine seeing a group of bandits running your way with mail coats, sabres and muskets? I wonder what their clan tags would be... something along the lines of [Dick Turpin]?

They might be worried it would take off on a console and any further development would give priority to the less "hardcore" console version.

They need to find some way of penalizing players who choose to carry a 30-lb rifle. The two ways they can do this are by making it take up a lot of space in the inventory and by making it a clumsy weapon to swing around. They should also remove the crosshairs so scoped weapons aren't also good close-combat weapons. I don't want to see a PTRD mostly because it's from WW2. I doubt anyone would carry it anyways, except maybe clans or eccentrics. See? Even the Soviets wanted a scope on the thing. :D

I don't support this for three reasons: 1. The PTRD is from World War 2. You don't see them used in combat nowadays. They are rare and I don't think people would be pulling old, massive, and heavy Soviet anti-tank rifles out of museums. 2. No scope! You can't simply attach a scope to a rifle, it has to be drilled and tapped for mounts, or it needs a rail. I can easily see the recoil of a PTRD actually damaging many rifle scopes or screwing with the zero. (I know the "no scope" part was one of your suggestions but I don't see anyone wanting a large, slow rifle without a scope - I know I don't). 3. The 14.5x114mm in-game is not powerful enough right now (it's used in the BDRM-2 and BTR-60). It only does a bit more damage than a 50 cal and it has much less penetration (!), when in real life it is much more powerful and has much more penetration. The ACE mod actually corrected this. I might support replacing the American and British rifles with the KSVK, however, which is 12.7mm and bolt-action, as well as already in the game. It looks cool, too.

Obviously it's overpowered, basically a death-ray, hit = death and no chance of surviving. You said no rifle should kill in one shot unless it's to the head, and I disagree, I would like to see areas like legs and arms being less fatal and well aimed shots being more fatal, which would mean redoing the entire damage system. Also, if we started introducing hunting rifles to the game like many have suggested, we would have a lot more one-shot kill rifles considering expanding hunting ammunition does a lot more damage than military ammo. Comparison of the same caliber, hunting vs military: Personally, I don't like the .50s killing in one shot to the toe because that is unrealistic, and ArmA's damage system is very simplistic. I don't have a problem with powerful weapons killing in one shot provided that they have a similar effect in real life and that they fit the situation... I'm not sure the .50s fit DayZ very well, and I'd rather see something like a .338 just to keep the immersion.

Real class choice of words there, mate. Zeroing is OP? I suppose we should have sniper rifles shooting flare-like projectiles like in Battlefield 3 or an unrealistic fixed zero at 400m. Sniping is only easy because the game lacks wind effects, and even now it's only easy if the target is still. How is the sniper on the hill different from the KOS guy with the Enfield? How about a heart shot? Or a gut shot? Or a spine shot? Or an artery-severing shot? Or any of the other endless real-life possibilities? I hope the Standalone has a revamped damage system...

Here's another one:

Actually, yes, I did. Although in-game it's technically depicted as a manned vehicle because of engine limitations... in real life, however: I post too much...
