I have seen 1 walkie talkie total. I found 2 blood test kits, not in the same day, and my buddy found 1. As for the mosin compensator... never seen it, nor heard of it. As for the rest, it seems like sometimes certain items spawn more than others. I had 1 life where I found 2 clips for the FNX45 right off the bat, then found the pistol a few minutes later. I've had times where I saw 6 compasses and no food, and other times 0 compasses. I've seen the respirators a bunch of times and not others. One life my buddy and I found 3 maps, another time 2, and a couple of times 0. I've had 2 lives where I had a mosin, one of those times I had no ammo for it and no food. I've had times where ammo was abundant, and others not. It may also be dependent on the server. I don't know if a server ends up with random loot every time it restarts or if it stays the same loot table as the first time it started running DayZ. I have bounced from a couple of servers when I died because there was no loot near where I started a few times. Sort of hard to survive with no food or water, and when people who are fully geared are camping the starting areas. I've traveled a few towns north and found no supplies because they were all gone. Anyways, I think I've seen most of the items so far at least once, except for the magnum rounds.

Why would you want factions? Yeah, it's nice to know who might be on your side when you come across them, but sometimes someone on your side needs to die. If I'm near some clown who wants to drag every zombie in the town to me so I have to kill them, they need to die. That's not gonna happen if they keep seeing me then peeling off them and going after me. Let's say some guy is following myself, yourself, your group, who ever they decide to follow, you run across a group from the opposite faction and now you have this clown standing up behind you giving your position away. With any faction system you either can't kill them or get penalized for killing them to get rid of them. I could ask them to leave, but that works once out of maybe 100 times. EDIT: And as for the rest, the game still has missing features which are being added as well as some things not turned on or on in a limited capacity.

There already is sort of a deterrent. I ran past a sand bunker a couple of guys were hiding in at Balota airfield, I had switched to my axe incase a zombie that was near ran up to me. They killed me, I respawned just south of Balota, my buddy killed them before I got back there and I looted my corpse. They shot me in the chest and legs, my worn pants and pristine jacket were ruined as well as anything in the pockets (some ammo, bandages, and a can opener). But, I also think they were sitting there trying to kill anyone who ran by. EDIT: Yes, I was unaware they were there, I saw the zombie and went for my axe, my friend already ran past so I figured the area was clear. Big mistake, if I spawned someplace else.

There is a suppresor for the M4, I had one when the character wipe happened. Don't know if it actually reduces the sound of the gunshot or if it just reduces the muzzle flash. It did say it reduced the sound in the description.
