MRDS = 2009 EpiPen expiration = usu. 12-24 months or less I just assume present-day.

Yes, but that's different because many nations received old American surplus. Being an ex-Soviet republic you can bet there wouldn't be any M79s in Chernarus prior to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, and you can also bet that after that they would not have gone and purchased a bunch of obsolete American Vietnam-era standalone grenade launchers that also require them to supply their troops with another type of grenade.

What? It's obsolete, essentially unused, out-of-service, and largely out-of-production, and incorrect for all weapons that could fire it and it only "opens the door" for one very anachronistic turn-of-the-century handgun. Whereas 7.62x25 is widely available and is used in a variety of more modern and far more numerous Soviet handguns and submachine guns and although unadvised can still function in that damn old Mauser because it is almost dimensionally identical. Makes more sense to use the round that has widely available surplus and is correct for all but one instead of the round that makes no sense to find and is the wrong cartridge for all (but one?) of them.

They phased that out in 'Nam and it's American to boot.

You think we will have a sawn-off Blaser? (such a gun was described in the files a ways back) Will we be able to saw other bolt-actions in half? Or the 10/22? Think of the hackshaw shenanigans.

If not Saiga 12 these would be the second best choice IMO: http://imzcorp.com/en/company/95.html http://imzcorp.com/en/company/315.html However I doubt they will add TWO similar-looking, similarly-named Baikal shotguns.

^very interesting stuff, pilgrim :thumbsup:

These still photos don't change the fact the current muzzle flash is way overdone. You can just look at it and say "that looks wrong".

The barrel has been shown and it is approximately 27.5 cm long. The Mosin has a twist of 240mm. So around 158,000 rpm. Should be stable. However the sights have been sawn off. T = ((2067/2800)^(1/6))*.311*sqrt((30*148)/(2.0*.311^3*4.12(1+4.12^2))) = 9.3 Now if it had been something like this...

Surprised no one's mentioned damage yet... "obrez" presents some interesting questions. I did some research and made some estimates of muzzle velocity. Here's an obrez with about the same barrel length as the Contender (Longhorn). This is much longer than usual for obrez, just for comparison. At this length, muzzle energy is still higher than the SKS. Here's one with a more typical barrel length. Now muzzle energy is between the SKS and the M4A1. Here's one with a slightly shorter barrel. Now muzzle energy is below both the SKS and the M4A1. SKS is equally or much more powerful than obrez - but SKS doesn't kill in one shot. So neither should the weaker obrez, no? And here is another problem, pistols and rifles have inconsistent damage compared to each other. Obrez should be much more powerful than certain pistols - but it must also be much weaker than certain rifles. And you can't have that with the current damages where a .45 ACP or .357 is almost the same power as an SKS, or more powerful than an M4A1. For example obrez with velocity of 600 m/s would be (600/860) = 70% as powerful as Mosin. However obrez with velocity of 600 m/s is also less powerful than SKS. Obrez = ~1700 J SKS = ~2200 J However SKS is only 63% as powerful as Mosin! See the issue here?

CZ without mags = 1 shot, inventory reload CZ with mags = 5 shots, 'R' reload Mosin without mags = 5 shots, inventory reload Mosin with clips = 5 shots, 'R' reload Detachable magazine loses...

Nah... if someone gets killed that should be it. No resurrecting the dead.

P-p-p-private hives

Not the same thing at all, one of them shoots where you point it

Should be pretty much useless and terrible in every way but it's got that "Soviet cool"

That's silly high, over 5 times as much as the old M107 (A2: 14.5mm = 31, 12.7mm = 26, 7.62mm = 12). A shotgun slug should be from 12-14. Probably temporary fix.

They should just remove the "60 round magazine" from the game until such time as it's ready to be properly introduced. I know someone's gonna say "but this is alpha, we need to test it" - no we don't, it's a bit of code that says "60" instead of "30", what's to test? Wait until later when there's a system set up for it IMO.

It should be worse :lol: lower dexterity and increase sway

Too fat! Besides the questionable "authenticity" of adding such a magazine (I can't envision anyone buying this for professional use on a 9mm submachine gun and the MP5K is supposed to be strictly military/police loot) it looks ridiculous, heavy, rattly, bulky, and otherwise impractical. And good luck storing it with THAT thing in a backpack.

Nah, this is one of those huge magazines for civilians who want to do random mag dumps

Why not? You could fire from the hip while sprinting in OFP. Literally wouldn't hit the broad side of a barn but the option was there. It feels kinda restrictive when you "click" and the gun does nothing.

Plastic stock alone reduces dispersion by ~4% compared to all wood, plastic handguard alone reduces it by ~12% compared to all wood, all plastic reduces it by ~15% compared to all wood. However you will probably be unable to tell any difference between them in normal gameplay, and probably not if you were trying to test them in-game either, so I wouldn't worry about it. You can also remove all M4 and AK stocks and handguards if you wish with minimal practical difference...

It's just a pronged flash hider and it currently set to reduce dispersion by less than 4% unlike the Mosin compensator's 25%-33% reduction.

Not in the standalone
