If there's just a predefined route everyone takes because you'll find a Mosin in X house and a pristine LRS in Y house they might as well just stop calling it a survival game and call it GenericFPSGameButYouNeedToRunAroundABitFirst-Z.

I like the idea of adding more common civilian weapons like hunting rifles of various kinds and smaller caliber pistols. But adding stuff like the VSS Vintorez and other types of purpose built special forces weapons just doesn't really make sense to me. I mean why would any unit be equipped with such a weapon in a place like Chernarus? The same thing applies to military/police sub-machine guns, why would you bring it there in the first place? I'm not whining about your list, it's good, but just think about if you'd actually find some of the weapons in any realistic scenario? Think about a place like Chernarus, why would you find a weapon like PP-2000 there? Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see some more weapons, but not a complete arsenal of obscure weapons no one would even think about equipping even the most special of special forces units in a place like Chernarus. I'm not bitching about the VSS in particular, just as an example. I personally would like to see the firearms not to be in focus rather than the survival aspect because I think it just ruins the gameplay if everywhere you look there's a guy(or gal) with a LMG or 12.7mm AMR running around.

I really hope the firearms stay sparse, not nearly impossible to find, but rare*ish*. However I'd like to see more civilian firearms that would be common in eastern european countries/ex-Sovjet states. The problem I personally have with adding .50cal rifles and a vast array of military weapons is that I think the game will lose its survival-horror feel and just become singleplayer-ARMA where everyone runs around with obscure experimental or single purpose military arms. It, to me, doesn't really make sense that in a zombie infested no-go zone, that there's state-of-the-art military gear lying around. Especially weapons that is generally only available to SOF and rarely used even by such units. I'd rather see that you would be able to tie a stone to the end of a rope or duct-tape a kitchen knife to a stick than the ability for people to hang around on a rooftop 2 km away and snipe anything that moves.
