omg.... This must be suggested to Dean. (re: flamethrower)

I wasn't saying that those mechanics SHOULD function that way, only that that's how they DO function...

The misconception is from people spamming the forums with "OMG THE DISPERSION IS REAL" without any consideration for the overall performance of the gun when you have attachments on it. I can score kills on people from 1m -> 300m with an M4 with relative ease.. >300 is difficult but can be done with a Bipod/ACOG, which as far as realism goes is pretty accurate. With Magpul attachments, the M4 actually has less dispersion than the Mosin.

Dunno why the hell you would add a bunch of sucky guns that nobody is going to use... Look at the state of the Sporter.. when was the last time you used one? When was the last time you killed with one? When was the last time someone killed you with one? SKS and Mosin are used most often because the ammo is available, and doesn't require a mag, and while both guns are mediocre (at best), they are also extremely deadly in the right hands.

The M4 is not "horribly inaccurate".. I can easily pick off players from 200+ meters with iron sights in 5 shots or less. Until they add a KOBRA sight for the AK variant weapons, the M4 is superior in versatility, ROF, and agility, but inferior in damage, range, and availability. Once Heli crashes start spawning again and they DO add a KOBRA sight for the AK's, the two weapons will be relatively equal. If you give me the option of a fully kitted M4 or a fully kitted AKM both with 300 rounds, I am taking the M4 every time.

Btw, in case anyone is wondering, the CZ basically sucks. 1. It fires 7.62x39 in a 5 round magazine.. 1/2 of the SKS. 2. It is bolt action, so the ROF sucks. 3. Currently it does not have any attachments (Tested PSO, PU, and LRS.. none fit on it.) 4. It requires a magazine.. So basically, it's a slow firing SKS with only iron sights and half the mag. Probably the worst gun in the game right now (Aside from the broken shotgun.)

Here's how I think Melee should work (minus the swords etc)

Kossuth and I get waylaid by roadside bandits, and Aegis squad runs into trouble at NWAF. http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/2be7kc/crap_talking_teen_killed_my_friend_unleash_the/ Link to the Reddit post, so you can up/down vote there if you please.

100 meters, mosin shot to the upper body (neck?) Broke the guys legs. 2nd shot to his torso (heart/arm) didn't kill him. Third shot killed him. Not sure where it hit as my friend was the one who finished him.

Is this a bannable offense and if I happened to have footage of someone who had one of these, with proof of their name, time, date, and server they were connected to, would there be any point in reporting it, who would I report it to, and would they be subject to ban?

The video I posted is a condensed version of the entirety of what transpired.. IE - It shows me spotting the guy, finding him, killing him, finding the inf mag, and dropping it.. I have over an hour of footage just centered around this encounter but nobody is going to sit here watching an hour of mediocre unedited footage. I posted the video to show what I was talking about - not as an official submission of evidence in order to get someone banned. My argument isn't a "straw man", as I'm not even really MAKING an argument.. You're making an argument. I'm stating facts and asking questions: IE - 1. Can people be banned for infinite mags? 2. If they cannot from Bohemia, can they from another source? (BE/VAC) 3. IF they can, what evidence/proof is required? Is video evidence enough? You've done nothing but argue about why people SHOULDN'T be banned or given excuses for how this kid could have come across a mag accidentally or how I didn't provide enough proof to warrant a ban. Guess what? Whether that's true or not, YOUR opinion really isn't important here. I never said "Beans" should be banned.. I never asked him to be banned.. Hell, I never TOLD anyone to ban Skody, even though if it were up to me, he would be just for carrying around 2 hacked weapons. I still don't see why you're so keen on defending these guys. Do you carry around hacked mags? Do you think it's okay? If you found one, would you ditch it or keep it? Do you enjoy playing against people who don't play by the same rules as you? Do you think it's okay to use whatever exploit is available to gain an unfair advantage over players who play by the rules? If, in your heart of hearts, you said "yes" to any of these questions, then we have nothing to talk about.. and if you said no to all of them, then we're on the same side and you should stop defending hackers, lest you unintentionally affiliate yourself with them.

I'm sorry, but I have no clue what the hell you're talking about. I never suggested any draconian rules. I asked a question: Is having hacked magazines a bannable offense? Furthermore, I cut out the majority of the footage because it simply wasn't relevant. I never said "Beans" was carrying an infinite mag.. i said Beans was an accomplice. As in, someone this person plays with. They were working together, along with 3 other guys who's names I was unable to get. I provide this information so that other players may be on the lookout and know that if they join a server with "Skody" and "Beans", they are probably playing against people who have no problem abusing exploits/hacks. As to the issue of "proof"... the guy is carrying 2 weapons with infinite mags, as well as an extra infinite mag in his inventory. He was running around shooting petrol pumps enough to cause them to explode. You don't need to visually witness him firing 60+ rounds to know from looking at the magazines that they are "infinite mags".. I was in possession of the weapon for approximately 1 minute, and then dropped it and picked my mosin back up and hid his body.. This guy was clearly INTENTIONALLY holding an infinite ammo weapon. So.. By your argument, people who abuse hacks/exploits and ruin the game for other players just need a slap on the wrist, right? People who think it's okay to cheat don't deserve a ban? I like how you're telling me you hope that I get banned for NOT hacking while you're defending the obvious hacker by saying you didn't witness him actually using a hacked item and therefor he's innocent. Let's make something clear: I don't hack, so I have no fear of getting banned by "draconian" rules.. If you don't hack, then you shouldn't fear it either. Furthermore, DayZ, the DayZ community, and DayZ servers are NOT a DEMOCRACY.. They are a SERVICE and a LUXURY.. You pay for the LUXURY of playing a game.. If you ABUSE that luxury, you can be banned.. You do not have "RIGHTS" to a fair trial or any of that bullshit just because you purchased the game through Steam. I'm seriously beginning to question your legitimacy as a player, based on your twisted logic in defending someone who you DON'T EVEN KNOW, and who is obviously abusing an exploit to gain an advantage in an online game that, by the way, we ALL pay for.. not just them. But, hey, we should let it slide because we can't prove that he actually FIRED a hacked weapon, right? I mean.. Doesn't everyone carry around infinite mags? Maybe everyone should.. Maybe once this community is so completely inundated with hacking little pricks because it's tolerated by people like you, you'll see the error in your thinking. To be honest with you, it's getting difficult to even get good footage for my youtube channel because it seems like everytime I play someone is either exploiting themselves into the interior walls of the ATC, or the Jail, or yelling "F*ggot" or "n*gger" over comms, or they're grouping up in packs of 3-6 with infinite ammo.. So, maybe sometime soon, players who care about this game and this community will just get fed up and move on, and you'll be left here with the hacking little fucktards you seem to keen to defend. Have fun with them.

Note in the video I picked up the m4 before I even recognized it had inf ammo. I almost took off with it just to kill the guys friends with their own hacked shit. Then thought better of it and ditched it. Still, people who carry around infinite mags and magdump into gas stations are clearly doing it intentionally. Someone who hacks magazines is also not going to see a problem with using other exploits or potentially download cheats. I'm not sure how they are getting infinite ammo in the first place but it definitely needs to be fixed.

The rules are different for lone wolves, I feel. If I come across another player as a lone wolf my options are limited compared to if I was with at least 1 friend. To minimize risk sometimes you have to make hard decisions, whether that's booking it or killing someone who was potentially friendly but acted questionable.

Where would I go to do that? What would the best way be?

If this isn't cool to link here I'll remove it.. Let me know.

Ah I see.. so if I got this guys name and could tell you what server he was on at what date and what time, could you guys do anything about it? There were about 5 of them, and the one I killed had a hacked M4 AND a hacked Mp5, so I kind of doubt he was doing it on accident; or just picked it up off someone else.

There was some "humor" in my post, but in all seriousness, I DO help people and DO have social interactions, but I'm also not a pushover and will not hesitate to cap someone the second they think about betraying me.

I have positive social interactions all the time. I've also never been killed by a fresh spawn or backstabbed by someone and had my shit stolen.. So who's full of it?

So.. This is a rage thread about being friendly and someone lying about friendly then jacking your shit? I'm sorry, but, you lost at the game, this time. I was a hero in the mod, and I have had a lot of "friendly" experienced on the Standalone, but one thing you never do is TRUST someone who "sounds panicky". Furthermore, listen to the sound of the persons voice.. If they sound prepubescent, just pop a cap in their head and move along. Hopefully they will quit the game and go back to Minecraft or COD or whatever other crap these 14 year olds come from. It's not unfriendly, seeing as with their lack of physical strength and survival skills, they won't survive outside of the home without their mother and father coddling them anyway, so you're just saving them from being eaten by wolves...really...if you think about it... you know? Also, if they sound like a teenager, they are probably little pricks. Kill those fuckers too. In fact.. Unless someone has a gun pointed at your head and asks me to drop my weapon (has never happened.) or unless they are unarmed.... I don't give a shit what they sound like, I just don't trust them. So .. lets recap: -Squeeky voice -> End their suffering now. -Teenagers -> Pricks, and deserve to die. -Unarmed players -> Trust them but don't let them get close and keep your gun raised for a while. -Players who hold you up -> Trust them, because unless you do something stupid, you'll probably make it out alive... or possibly with a tummy full of rotten bananas.. but it could be worse. -Players who you hold up -> Trust them as long as they are unarmed/handcuffed.

Where'd they say this?

I'm not coming here to give the evidence or out anyone.. Just to ask the question of whether it's a bannable offense or not. How could you be carrying an infinite ammo item WITHOUT knowing? It's obvious what it is.

Depends.. Mostly if I am geared up I am in a dangerous place where interaction involves putting bullets into someone or dodging bullets from someone. . But if I happen to come across someone NOT at an airfield/military base, I'm open to sitting around the campfire telling scary stories.

True.. Just thought it shared some interesting parallels.

Based on the videos I saw of 100 player servers, it was 30 people running naked through elektro getting shot at by the other 70.
