  1. People make 200 yard shots with snub nose 38s. It's possible but unlikely. Also who has a better chance of surviving? The idiot who sprays all his ammo wildly or the guy who makes the shots count? EDIT: because videos.
  2. Yet another movie i haven't watched, want to, but won't go out of my way to get it. This is not to be confused with the Clint Eastwood Spaghetti western named "The good, The bad and The ugly." with Lee Van Cleef's awesome mustache. (and Lee van Cleef as it's handler).
  3. It's pretty good you should see it. Along with most of eastwoods other early suff ( For a few dollars more, The good The bad and The ugly and the Dirty Harry series) WARNING: Spoiler contains spoilers of the movie. Why the hell would it be there otherwise? EDIT: Spoiler because spoilers.
  4. Have you ever seen the Clint Eastwood movie "For a Fistful of Dollars" It's the final duel (last 10 mins) of that film. He proposes finding out who will win when a man with a Winchester goes up against a man with a 45 colt. It just means you have to manipulate the area to your choosing. See the scene in the movie i posted. He wins because he choose the battleground and what the final skills would have to be. They both favor the Peacemaker he uses.
  5. IMO all fire caps for weapons should be set realistically rather than balanced. Major factors in slowing it should only be the real life fire rate and recoil. Sure you can put out 6 shots of 44 magnum in a second but how well are they aimed? Oh and ammo capacity (nothing slows down suppression like no ammo). That is real life and this game is trying to emulate it authentically. Plus then you really get to see who wins when a man with a rifle goes against a man with a 45 (or 357 in my case until a 44 is added).

    Items you refuse to pick up?

    Actually i usually lone wolf. I made an exception for my friend because he hadn't played the mod before and he had just gotten the SA. And i think i have only been to cherno once or twice in the SA. Never used a blood bag, may have been given one by the TMW guys though. Never used handcuffs aswell (unless you count being cuffed as using them).
  7. Uhh... Officially the mouse slider doesn't work. To quote dean : "We trolled everyone with the mouse slider. We put it in there but it doesn't do anything" Also all mouse stuff is being redone. LINK: Look at the first vid of him in the EGX rezzed twitch highlights. You should watch it anyway and it is interesting. I think he talks about it after at least 10mins of video.

    NEAF? guy was wearing a press vest, black un helmet? Wielding a sawn off with a rifle on his back and a couple of pistols on him (magnum and a revolver)? Extra vest in the back pack? A 22 pistol left on the ground in an Adjacent ATC with a single round chambered? Cause if that was you then f*ck you, that took quite a few hours to get and i'm not a bandit unless i have no choice. Sure, i have shot people who made threatening gestures (who hasn't or who wasn't going to at one point) but most of that gear was for a mate.

    Useless tools. M4s after i have a rifle/shotgun other than an M4. I hate them The 22 rifle. The 22 pistol (unless no other option or i find a couple of mags for it) Any semiauto pistol i don't have mags for if i don't have another pistol with mags or a magnum (might try and get a 1911 or CZ w/mags one day for shits and gigs but the magnum is here to stay) The mountain backpack. 1st person only for me, it's too big and an easy target. Any knives or hammers unless bayonet (I have taken out multiple zeds with a SKS bayo before) Rotten food. Disinfectant ....I think that is it.

    Moon clips.

    There is more than one way to load a revolver. I'm not just talking about speed strips, speed loaders and loading individual rounds but possibly a completely different ammo type all together. I'm talking about moon clips. These little buggers allow revolvers, when modified correctly, to chamber rounds that you normally cannot. For example, any of the 9mm family into 38 special and 357 magnum revolvers. any of the 45 auto cartridges (yes it isn't just 45 acp out there) into 45 long colt and 454 Casull revolvers. This however only applies to revolvers with swing out cylinders and top break mechanisms. The idea is to allow the magnum to chamber 9mm rounds with these moon clips. Any future revolvers in a 45 caliber to chamber the 45 acp currently in game and any other 45 semi auto rounds and the same for 9mm in 38/357 magnum firearms. Now hold up for a second. Who uses these stupid things? Jerry Miculek, one of the most well known revolver speed shooters and arguably the best at what he does. He is able to outshoot other competitors running semiautomatic pistols with high magazine capacities in competition with a S&W performance center 627. Look closely at the reloads and unloads. Notice how the casings all come out and stay in the same shape they would be in the cylinder? That means moon clips. The downside to all this is the revolver will now be using the much less powerful 9mm cartridge. But it doubles the available ammo to the user. Now for some problems with the Idea. One revolvers that haven't been made to accept them from factory require machining. They are also hard to load and reload by hand with most people resorting to tools. They warp easily and can cause hangups. Storage, an empty moon clip is a small steel disc, but the game sees them as the same size no matter what. Warping - Have them take very little damage before getting ruined. When they are ruined then this will mean that they have warped beyond use, Loading - I feel that it is an acceptable break from reality to be able to load these by hand. Tools could be found to speed this up but it isn't needed right now. Storage - Loaded moon clips = Same size a speed loaders to the game but it would be nice to be able to stack empty ones. Modifications to revolvers - We can either make cylinders spawn which can be swapped out (rare as hell), assume that the revolver has been machined already or doesn't need it (bollocks, who does that to a python?) or we can add a tool/functionality to a tool which would allow it to clearance the cylinder. This can also be utilized by 357 magnums but the clips are much weaker as they have to be thinner. Normal 357 rounds are usable in these cylinders. Also one thing i have noticed while using the revolver is the fact that it looks like it already uses these clips. However i am unable to go on and get pictures and i have found no video in first person, without the gear screen up whist reloading it.

    Moon clips.

    Was my OP concise enough on this that discussion isn't really needed? Wow, that's a first for this forum.

    Chalk.

  13. Germans used it in WW2 after they took over the FN factory. Then there is the over 25 years now that the wall has been on the ground.
  14. It is amazing to see that one of the best and most widely used handguns of all time has almost the same amount of votes as an Archaic, rare derringer wich you wouldn't find outside the US on a good day. I'm talking bout the Browning hi-power.

    Moon clips.

    IMO it should only be slightly rarer than speed loaders.

    Firehouse Slaughter of a Whole Clan

    I wouldn't use a M4 there. Simply because i don't like it but a sawn off and Magnum combo would probably do well there.
  17. I'm not saying just western revolvers, just revolvers in general. Have some class man. Colt and S&W all the way.

    Kimber vs 911 model

    No because i have an opinion and enough knowledge to comment on something. Everyone on here would probably think his spelling is atrocious but it is forgivable. Lots of people just let it go, others point it out. Just because around half my posts are me correcting people doesn't make me wrong here. It just portrays me as a dick, which a lot of people in real life describe me as. Bean king is just a title given to people with an arbitrary number of posts. They can be spam for all the website cares, they just award it anyway. I don't take pride in that title. In-fact thinking about it makes me feel like i could be doing something else other than defending my points against assholes and feeding trolls without realizing it.

    Question about sound ?

    As long as you have your speakers set up the right way then you will get surround sound in game. They need to be in stero at least but surround sound is better IMO. Hell i just played Far Cry 3 for the first time in a long time since i got my headset and realized that they actually have the wind rushing through open windows sounds. It was amazing.

    Dayz Standalone Steam Sale?

    We don't know. We don't control anything about it's release or pricing. We only parrot what we have learnt from Devs and guessing. You will have better luck asking Steam or the Devs.
  21. Two words. Fuck. No. I think the highest caliber in the game for pistols should be anywhere below 454 Casull. Preferably a .44 magnum with a 45 long colt or 45 ACP(or one that fires both with moon clips) for reasons in the following paragraph. The 460 has not been around long enough, nor is it as common as other popular magnums and the 454 casull. The 44 magnum has been doing the rounds since 1955 (same time as the Python) and got a huge boost in popularity post-1971 (I think we can all guess why) and the 454 was around in 1971. The 454 (probably the base cartridge for the 460 but don't quote me on it) is also popular for protection against big game (bears and shit like that) for years along with the 44 but is also used alot in Metallic Silhouette shooting. On another note, I propose that the only Fire rate cap on firearms in this game should be the real life fire rate and recoil. Sure you can squeeze 6 shots of 44 magnum off in 1 second but how likely are you to keep them on target if you aren't Jerry Miculek? No to all this "Balance" shit that new games have.

    Kimber vs 911 model

    If they make their posts understandable, search before they make them and don't just sprout BS or rant then I don't insult. Besides, it was a valid point. I don't care if your keyboard is fucked 5 ways to Sunday, either re-read what you wrote or edit it after posting so it applies to proper English writing conventions.
  23. We could fix that with a little application of the report button.
  24. I did it for you, that is if you wanted to give them to the good DoctorPhil.
  25. It happened in the mod. Seems the Hackers have ported it to the SA.
