Sorry, it just seemed like you were saying that the ADF has it as their standard issue as well as the NZ standard issue. Just didn't want misconceptions spreading.

Consolidated Weapons/Equipment suggestions
Dchil replied to rocket's topic in Mod Announcements & Info
Multiple revolvers, mostly 22LR, 38 special/357 magnum and 45colt (SAA?) with a 44 magnum and the nagant revolver with a suppressor that could be attached. Multiple versions of either CZ, Glock, sig sauer or h&k pistols in 9mm/40sw/45acp/22LR all with attachable supressors.(chosen because country of origin is close to where chernarus it thought to be) Bolt action rifles of all types of calibres not limited to but including 22LR, 223(5.56), 243, 30-06, 308(7.62) Lever action rifles of all types of calibres not limited to but including 22lr, 30-30, 357 mag, 44 mag, 45colt Pump action shotguns of the Mossberg 500/590 variety and Remington 870, along with a few Russian models. Over/under and side by side shotguns - able to be cut down with a toolbox. Suppressors: should be limited by calibre (22,30,38/9mm,45) where larger suppressors can be put on smaller guns but not vice versa. must require a threaded barrel [requires a toolbox to add, already on certain weapons] but for pistols an extended/threaded barrel must be equipped, suppressors are also common in Europe for hunting and limiting hearing damage. This threading should be available to all projective weapons, excluding shotguns. Stocks - replacement stocks can be found, with, say a plastic stock lightening a certain rifle but increasing the recoil compared to a wooden one and vice versa. these should be removable Storage in rifles - for example in the sks/mosin/ak there is a slot for a cleaning kit, there should be a chance that it is in there and i should be able to be looted/used or replaced if you happen to find one. Should be able to fit a few loose rounds inside, just in case. This is all i can think of right now. -
The standard issue pistol for the ADF is the Browning Hi-Power or L9A1, a semi-automatic 9MM pistol with a standard magazine holding 13rds plus 1 in the chamber. The wiki article is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browning_Hi-Power

It would on a Nagant revolver, also a good idea to have in the actual game as it was very common in the Russian military before the makarov came to be. Also look up some photos of tunnel rats during the vietnam war, they put anything on everything in order to quiet them down and make it easier in the tunnels, this includes what you described (seen in a photo).

The nipple is what the cap goes on, the cap is the primer. I just added the thing in brackets in for those who are uninformed, not for you as I believed you were fairly clued up on firearms.

As i said before my logic is often right and dream crushing. Though i wouldn't say no to other black powder weapons as it makes alot of sense from an ammo standpoint as lead is almost everywhere [wheel weights for example] black powder is basically charcoal, saltpeter and sulphur mixed to the right ratios, charcoal can be a by-product of campfires and saltpeter and sulfur can be found in a pharmacy or science lab or supply store but caps are a different story. Though apparently caps can be made [i don't know how] but are found in gunstores and other places where functioning BP guns are used. I'd suggest a Colt walker/1851/1860 but if we go with the architecture in place already where magazines seem (to me) to be a necessity I'd suggest a Remington 1858 with the easily removed cylinders, so you could carry the components for the ammo and cylinders loaded already. You should be able to make paper cartridges as well which is basically a piece of paper containing the powder and the bullet which is then loaded, this makes reloading easier as it all you have to do after making them is insert into the chamber, ram it in and cap the nipple (if you just giggled or are puzzled then you should probably look up "loading a black powder revolver") then fire. Making these cartridges is also the subject of some youtube vids.
-
Yeah i have a habit of crushing dreams or ideas with logic, sorry about that. But still, it is just too rare and most are muzzle loading, which would be impractical from a combat stand point, even against a colt single action army because after you have used the 9 shots and shotgun load it is gonna take ages for you to reload and that guy with the SAA has already emptied his revolver (and i don't mean fanning the hammer old west style but single handed) into you, reloaded and emptied it again by the time you have loaded 9 shots, not including the shotgun load.
-
I know but many drillings are actually quite beautiful. The lemat is also a very rare firearm, making it unlikely to be found unless it is in a collection and AFAIK only availible as a reproduction in the USA and isn't sold much elsewhere.
-
It is a drilling or a combo gun, a rifle/shotgun as outlined in a post above. Here is the wiki on them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_gun A well known version is the Springfield armory M6
-
Well, there goes my weekend. Thanks
-
Sorry to go off topic but, where are you getting your information (not doubting it i just want to know) as the DayZdev blog seems to be dead. And that is one beautiful weapon.
-
I agree with this, because unless you are an engineer you are most likely not going to be able to build a bracket to handle the recoil of a sawn off, meaning when you try to use it, it will break off. But a dedicated master key is more likely except for the fact that they haven't been used very much recently AFAIK by the military with normal shotguns being used. And to the post above, that is called a Combination gun. It is basically a double barrelled rifle/shotgun with one barrel being a shotgun and the other being chambered for rifle ammo. This, I believe, should be the only exception to what I have been saying as they are quite popular with hunters for the simple reason that if you see a animal far out that you could get cleanly with a rifle but you have a shotgun then you are out of luck (not including slugs here) and if you see a animal, such as a rabbit, that would have the meat ruined if shot with a higher powered rifle or if you find it hard to use a rifle up close and you have a rifle then you are still out of luck. The combination gun, just like its name suggests, combines this allowing you to hunt multiple types of game from multiple ranges, good for if you are hunting for dinner and you are looking for anything that will fit in the freezer. And i only make that exception because i forgot about them when making the above statement.

I'd just keep it separate, I don't see the point in having a shotgun mounted under a rifle except for the lulz. I mean, seriously, if i were to have an sawn off for door breaching in a zombie apocalypse i would have it separate from my rifle and I would just shoulder the rifle before blowing the lock/hinges with the shotty in my right (i'm a lefty) and my pistol my left leaving me with a weapon in my dominant hand allowing me to clear the immediate area while holstering the shotty. The only reason i would shoulder the rifle though is the fact that my only rifle is a full length bolt action .22 which isn't exactly the easiest thing to manuver indoors and fire rapidly and any pistol I get in an apocalypse is most likely to be a Glock 22 off of a cop [after they become a zed of course] as I don't own any at this time. Though in game is a different story but I don't think it should be a hassle to have 3 weapons on your person in the standalone without having to go into your back pack every time.
-
I like some of what the op is asking for but the super shorty actually holds 2 in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber, making it not much more practical than a double barrel as the game never includes the round in the chamber meaning it is a 2 shot gun, though i would like the option if you have a double barrel and a toolbox for you to saw it down. The striker is too rare and unused by anyone military and most likely not going to be common in the area the game is set, the aug is only really used by the ADF and maybe Austria, none of which are are close to the setting and wouldn't have been used there as they only really came into service after the cold war. Flare gun seems good if it were to be the default spawn gun [it is almost like you wash up from a shipwreck so this seems reasonable to me], the uzi is in origins but it is having a few graphical issues so it seems logical that it could be introduced easily and it was used by many people. As much as i like the idea of a massive calibre revolver i don't think it should be the 500 S&W as they are quite rare and unlikely to be seen outside of america, though a 44 magnum may be more reasonable, either the S&W M29/629 or Ruger Redhawk or Colt Anaconda would seem to be an okay choice, I also think it is in either in DayZero or Overwatch already so it may be easier to be included. The CZ IMO should be already in the mod but not as an automatic, as the semi auto should be fairly common in the area it is set, it is already in origins also. I reckon the OP played a little too much Blackops.

You know that button under your post called edit? Did you know that if you press it then you can edit the post you just made? I know, it is fascinating. Sorry to be condescending but we are not on Facebook or texting, there is an edit function on forums for a reason. Yes, i am a dick as well as condescending sometimes.

Nice MK1 escort model, though do i detect a hint of Mad Max?

The amount of times you have posted either directly after me or very soon after almost makes me think you are stalking me on here. -
When Was The 1st Time U Found Someones Tents Full Of Loot
Dchil replied to Lehfeels's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I once found a tent on krouty cap, but the only usable loot was an M9SD with 2 mags, a couple of bandages and some cooked meat. So i took that and died after failing to head shot 2 zombies when they aggroed, so i emptied it into them, and then i was eaten trying to take out the third when i ran out of ammo. -
I had an interesting conversation yesterday on side then i was invited to a private teamspeak channel and they dropped me off at a white off road [that needed a tire] with a few guns and random ammo. Unfortunately i died soon after and lost an m40 but i will try to return to it any time i can until it no longer is there.

Balota buddies, it has just gone AU only [bad for non AU guys, good for us as they concentrate on the individual servers more] and is the only set of servers i play on.

If you could have one custom clothing item in Standalone, what would it be?
Dchil replied to Cap'n (DayZ)'s topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
A suit. The type that when looked upon by a player will instantly scream out "Watch the fuck out or i'll blow you away with my awesome revolver of awesomeness". -

Why does everyone complain about night time?
Dchil replied to MasterShak3's topic in DayZ Mod General Discussion
I like the dark sometimes. Until the zeds are chasing me and then i can't see them so i can shoot them. On a unrelated note i once found a m14 aim, as a fresh spawn, in an industrial around the se section of elektro [not sure if it is only in the balota buddies server] with 3/4 mags. wierded the hell out of me as i thought it was a lee or cz550 and then i pick up this awesome gun. I obviously had more sense than to shoot it that close to the elektro so i ran and found my previous dead body and picked up what gear i though would be helpful. All at night.
