Can you cook the books?

I have never played the mod myself. But out of all my friends that has, none of them plays it now unless SA is broken which at this point in development, is a rare thing. I would say, buy it. If you don't like the unfinished feel, just shelve the game until release. :)

It's fairly impossible to not notice if it has been hacked or not.. How they do it i don't know, but when you find one you will notice instantly, that it contains something like 192992392399329 rounds

The condition is better. Keep shouting it's shit, it won't add anything. The Mosin is very accurate. It had been adopted by many countries for that very reason, and has been produced in mass. There will be much trash, sure, but there are plenty of well kept mosins out in private hands, and there are still millions of mosins in active use in Russia. So finding a great condition mosin at an army base is likely/plausible. And they are already implementing a condition system in the game. So whats the point? There is a good chance that pristine weapons are rare, and would only be at or near military bases. Saying the Mosin is unrealistic because the game mechanics is hardset to pristine, is such a premature argument. Wait until the condition system is worked on more, or come up with suggestion as how it could be changed to better reflect reality.. Unless your reality is this "All mosins are shit omfg" because that is just flat out wrong

I had mistaken the 91/30 for another variant, which were quickly corrected in the post. But there is a reason the junk Mosins are abundant in US gun shops... They are the trash guns, and resellers tend to have a hard time reselling trash, so the trash accumulate. The decent Mosins are sold between private people. The gun shops carry trash and generic junk

They are no such thing.. There are 8 variants of the mosin, produced by several different companies with several different tweaks.. If anything the Mosin is notorious for being accurate. Btw, he is using a 91/30, a variant currently in active use by Russia. Would be a likely weapon to stumble upon in the settings of DayZ

I am really sad to see the arguments people bring against me. Wind-age, humidity and all that is not in the game as of now, thus it has no relativity to the current accuracy of the weapons I am not saying it shoots reliable at 1000M +, all i am saying is that it is cable of doing it if in good shape. If these wind conditions etc is added (when hopefully) it would effect all weapons equally. Moot point is moot. What i am saying is, that is has an acknowledged effective range of 800 M with a scope.This means that the general consensus is that the weapon is effective at 800 m. It's not a claim i am making. No, i am not judging the effective range on the distance the gun can be zeroed, if i did, i would claim the effective range of a AKM to be 1000 M, when it truly is around 400-500. And yeah, we find some of the mosins in poor peoples houses, we also find them along side M4s in military bases. Lets wager that the ingame condition of weapons will play a factor here, totally nullifying that argument It being a "Civilian weapon" is i think your own interpretation. It is a military rifle, and it can be found on military bases. It might not be up to current standards of "military grade" But it was still designed and used as a military sniper rifle. Oh and the 91/30 is the gun the Russian police use, how far fetched is it finding one seeing as where the game is taking place Btw, just about all 7.6 bolt action rifles share the effective range of 800 M. It is common enough to be a rule of thumb Now here is the kicker... The mosin is still ACTIVELY used in Russia, both by the military special forces and the police. I think finding a well kept Mosin in or near russia, is a bit more likely than you yanks think when comparing to your surplus gun shop trash

I would just assume that a Mosin looted on a military base would be in better condition than the low price range surplus rifles bought in american gun shops. Mosins were in active use until the 90's, i don't think it entirely fair to compare the quality of the rifles the military has, and the surplus mosins from the world war era. Fun fact. Mosins were produced into the 60s.

Sorry but all sources i can find says different. A pristine Mosin is said to have an effective range of up to 800 M. A fal 600. Which falls well in line with the benefits that comes with bolt action. A bolt action will generally shoot more accurate than a gas operation using the same round.

Comparing a gas operation FN fal with a bolt action Mosin-Nagant? Why even try?

1 Yards iron sight with Mosin, in conditions realistically achievable in the DayZ environment. Sometimes i wonder why people are so insistent on something they are assuming. As i hunter, i am very aware of the possibilities of seemingly average people being able to shoot at 700-800 M. I myself have shot at over 1 KM many times, just for fun each year when i zero in for the season. The windy years are the most fun. And most of my friends are able to learn within 5-10 shots.. Accurate shots? Maybe not, but within the frame of a human torso

You would be surprised at how many well kept Mosin nagants that are out there. The club record where i live, from a Mosin is 1.100 M, shot by an old hunter, who actually uses the gun for hunting. But i am not talking about some untrained. I was talking about a rifle hunter, something you are as likely to be, as not, in a place like Byerazino. Bro, don't even. The market is relatively "flooded" with functioning Mosins. If some of them are remade or refitted, is a moot point, the same would stand for the mosins we find in Byerazino.. Finding a mosin able to fire reliably at 800m is not that far fetched. And if you look on youtube you will find several vids of shots at or beyond that range

A Mosin Nagant has an effective range of 800M. This means it can reliably land a shot at that range.. Meaning any rifle hunter, would be able to pick up the mosin, Zero it, and be able to snipe people really easy. Moving people is another issue entirely, but you can't expect to be able to stand still within a kilometer of someone aiming at you with a rifle and be safe.

I might not have made this point clear enough. I am for the solution, but think the current state of the game makes this solution punish us all equally. When they get the game stable, i am all for it, because my playstyle would rarely if ever run into a timer issue :) But currently, just because of this timer, finding a server is a hellish thing, mainly because of the instant kick "private" servers, or the ones where admins are restarting for loot frenzies. Postpone the timr imo

Hey. First of i would like to make it clear, that i am for a log in timer solution. The problem is the current iteration is as punishing for legit players as it is for unlegit players, which in my mind is a very big no no. I suggest that to lessen the punishment to legit players, they should remove it entirely unless you are doing some very exact things Like: Ghosting: If you logout of a server, and then into another, you should be blocked out of the first server for a set time period. Loot hopping: If you switch servers X amount of time within a timeframe you get a timer. As is is now, as a legit player, i feel that i am being punished for wanting to play. With this game being in Alpha, server crashed, unstable servers, abusive admins, and a lot more, is all contributing to a lot of legit server hopping. Yet people caught in this landslide is punished with 200+ second timers. TL:DR: If your solution to exploits punished the legit players equally with the unlegit then you made a mistake!
