The VSS would make absolute perfect sense to add to Dayz. Like i said in the description, Special Forces would of probably used the rifle in the event of the outbreak. Of course 9x39mm ammo would be a lot rare, but wouldn't that make the gun more valuable to players once they finally find it? It is better to have more of a variety of ammunition and firearms both for the sake of survival. It would be boring to just find say a DSHK Emplacement and a bunch of 12.7x108mm ammo laying around it and be able to wheel it around on a cart (they were attached to carts in World War 2 by their users, and they still are able to today). Or how about a Dragunov SVD Sniper Rifle that would just increase the use of the already put in ammo of 7.62x54mm? I am very fond of the VSS Vintorez and i do think it should be in the game for logical reasons obviously. And when you said that i am not finding the ammo for the firearms people want, i think you were trying to say that people would have a difficult time trying to find the ammo for the firearm? The AKM, AK-47, Remington M14, Dragunov SVD, Saiga-M Semi-Automatic Rifle, and the Winchester 1895 would all use ammo that would be very easy to find. 7.62x39mm, 5.56x45 (5.56mm), and 7.62x54mm. Those are just some of the guns i named off the list on the poll you see right now. Firearms like the Lobaev would have a rarer ammunition type, but it would be extremely useful in Dayz.

As much as i love the Browning Automatic Rifle in real life... it just would not fit into the world of Dayz Standalone at all. It saw use by the Americans and the British (along with their Bren Light Machine Gun) during World War 2. It also saw conflict with the Vietcong and North Vietnamese in the early Vietnam War, until the Americans developed the absolute replacement to it, the M-60 Machine Gun. It was an extreme improvement over the bar as you all can clearly see from the advancements the M-60 set forth for future machine guns, much like the Browning M1919 Heavy Machine Gun did for the U.S. . It would of had 0% of a chance ending up in the hands of the Soviets during World War 2 because so far the only weapons i heard of them using from the U.S. include the M1A1 Thompson Sub Machine Gun and the Colt M1911 Semi-Automatic Handgun. Good suggestion, but it just would not fit in very well. EDIT: I did some more research.. looks like the Browning would of had a small chance due to the Soviets seizing some from the Polish during the war.

If anyone is looking to help this forum even more, i have a opportunity for someone if they are interested. Message me if you are.

Does anyone have any ideas on how we can get our forum out there to the devs? Or at least a high ranking member?

Variety is nice, but i don't think the devs are aiming for a variety of the same weapon design. I, however, would love to see some variety in the same designs of firearms. Hopefully the devs will see our forum one of these days and consider what we have on it... there is so much feedback and information we have provided that they are all logical to add.

Excellent Idea

Just played some Dayz... Got knocked out by a freshspawn.

Is that a DSR-50?.. I do not think that would fit in the game if that is the DSR.

My motive for putting both them up was for that reason... I will be taking down either the AKM or the AK-47 depending on the votes Highest = stays. Lowest= leaves. We shall see.

I changed my previous quote as you made this one. Both rifles have their clear advantages and disadvantages in the real world and game world. They would both make excellent additions to the world of survival since they both would make absolute sense to include.

The community has a a Weapons suggesting thread already. Please check it out!

Added the RGD-5 Hand Grenade

Yes, i agree, but i was just sharing my opinion over the Dragunov in real life. The VSS is more of a tactical, medium range engagement rifle, while the Dragunov SVD Rifle takes the roll more of a combat rifle/support rifle than a sniper rifle. What - Karma - was trying to say is that if the military tried to control the town, then most likely the sniper would of taken high ground during the lockdown to secure the perimeter. He would of ended up probably dieing up there from being overwhelmed, thus like - Karma - said, leaving a type of long range engagement rifle down on the ground where he succumbed to the infected. The SVD, i agree should be included but in my original post i was not saying that it should not be included. The 9A91 is a widely used firearm used by many Russian police forces and i already have half of a description typed up for it on Word. Thanks for sharing your views!

Thank you man again for supporting the community's weapon forum! :)

Exactly! Excellent point and that is EXACTLY what i am trying to get across to the public here on the community. The weapon spawns should be in the correct locations where there would of been a place of struggle/fighting during the outbreak or even after it. The deer stands, of course, would not be a sign of struggle being that they are rather hunting locations. Large cities should contain more firearms, as the Chernarussians, or other allies (The U.S., United Nations, etc) would of probably quarantined from the public or they would of defended the city from the on coming infected individuals. The game needs more signs of a struggle, i know there are military bases laying around, but there needs to be police barricades/military barricades or civilian barricades left over still. To show how they struggled during the outbreak to try and survive. The small example you gave about the VSS and the sniper was perfect! I hope to see the game install some of these additions in the future, although time will only tell.

Yes, i can see where that fear is coming from. You cannot, however, make a universal magazine for all of the semi-automatic pistols because each one uses a different magazine. Take a Colt M1911 and a Berreta M92FS handgun for instance, they both use different calibers with the Colt being .45 ACP and the Berreta being 9x19 Parrabellum (9mm). To have them both use one magazine would be cheap and would not add much to the idea of survival that Dayz Standalone is surely aiming for. I know how difficult it is to find a magazine for even one handgun right now, but imagine finding separate magazines and you finding a different pistol? More variety of items= a better world of survival. The thing about everything being ruined with 2 bullets is a bug currently from what i am hearing from other forums and people. I hope it gets fixed soon enough, (even though i am a hero and i only shoot the other individual when i feel threatened by their presence.

The SVD is overrated... I don't really like the gun based off of my opinion of it in real life. I would rather prefer the VSS as it is a silent, but more of a tactical approach to the hostile.

Looking forward to adding many guns later on today. Will be back up in 6 hours! Good night and God Bless!

What do you mean?

Have a look at the community's weapons suggestion list and see for yourself! http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/172276-suggested-weapons-for-dayz-standalone-rifle-poll-is-up-please-vote/

Well, take a look on the weapons that will be added list. Thank you community for giving me more ideas! It will keep me occupied over the new few days!

May i ask why you guys have not taken this forum down yet?

Song i listen to while working on our forum, haha: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUMGmFC_Wk4

The attackers that would engage the armored vehicle in the first place would most likely have an Anti-Tank weapon, including an Anti-Material Rifle or an Explosive device. The rifles you mention are firearms... not vehicles. The standalone will most likely be an extremely improved version over the MOD. The weapon spawns are already planned to be drastically lowered over the next few patches anyways. We shall wait and see what the devs decide in the end.

More Difficulty= Better Survival. All of the things you just mentioned would be EXTREMELY rare to find most likely and to maintain them all would difficult as hell. What if the tank or APC breaks down in the middle of combat? Now you are sincerely screwed. Just imagine the endless amounts of difficulty that could be added. Cities would not be blown up lol, unless the person with the AT Launcher or Vehicle is a complete moron and wastes their ammo on unoccupied locations.
