Western-feeling | Or: My 2 wishes: Hat & Leg Holster
Karond replied to irishroy's topic in Suggestions
Good good, now we have only to wait for the rest. *Excellent* Hoping in a "Indiana Jones" variant for this one, more "easy to match" than the black one. :P Edit: Wow, missed that brown one. Definily better on my opinion. I think that brown hat is worn, if you notice the black hat don't have sign or scrap on it, almost brand new, when the brown one look "used", so i think that is the worn state. -

Revolver Ocelot, a russian character from the videogames saga "Metal Gear Solid", one of the best villain of the last 20 years and a lovely character for the ones who love westerns. Master of the fanning style of shooting and spinning techniques. Duster, like the name say, are for cover the user from dust, and are pretty much uncomfortable to wear, especially in a forest. Are heavy, encumber and slow your movement for the most. Poncho are almost the same of Duster, not so easy to wear, slow your movement for taking things on your chest, there a reason if we don't use it anymore., like the cape or the mantle. Is true, in europe even farmer use different hats, but personally, the hats is the last of the thing that trouble me in a game like DayZ, we have Payday2 masks -.-' For being a gunslinger you need a lot and when I say a lot, i mean a damn lot of training. Shooting is not so easy like movies show you, and having a fast extractin skill, from every type of holsters, require experience, other than training and natural reflex. This aspect is worked really well on ArmA series, and on DayZ is even better, make you actually think if is better to put away your gun or have it ready to use even inside empty city. For the lowered weapon, don't know if in DayZ is the same (never really checked) but in ArmA for raise your weapon you only have to type your fire button. If that don't work, is easy to put the button for raise it in a more convenient position, so that you can extract and be ready to aim in almost no time. The chest holster born WW1-WW2 ERA, at the time no one use legs for bring thing in battle, and with the fact that they don't use gearvest, but for the most of the time bandoliers, explain why they bring it on the chest. (And for the chronicles, on my belief, is not uncomfortable in that position, the worst is the belt holster used by operative nowadays. Really uncomfortable.) By the way, for see different type of chest holsters, you only have to type on google "WW2 Chest holsters" or "Chest Holsters Vietnam Style" Leather holsters are not so hard to made (sure, an novice handmade leather holster will look like crap, but hey, better than nothing), you only need cleaned leather, hot water and a leather needle. And at the contrary of the polymers holsters, they can fit different type of weapons inside, you only have to take the right measures. You can use them for a shotgun, to pistol, to an automatic pistol. Is only about taking the right shape and then apply pressure to fit the thing inside. Not for kill your enthusiasm, but a single action revolver will never be faster than a full automatic pistol, or a double action revolver. I know the fanning style of shooting is all cool etc(I really like it too), but is not really fuctional nowadays. Other than that, fanning require years of trainings to acquire the dexterity, and is not really precise over very short distance, but hey, is a really quick way to try to shoot your foot! In a world where you find limitated ammunations, where no place is safe, I don't really see a man wasting is ammo trying to training himself to shoot using this system. Other than that, I will doubt the ArmA engine is capable of animate a fast extraction and fanning animation. But seriosly, I will really like to see different type of holsters, so as to have different kind of clothing. Maybe even some types of bandoliers WW2 style for the mosin/shotgun ammo, really cool to see. And even a military poncho/raincoat is not a bad idea, maybe with a hood ... please, a need hoods, I can't watch my character head/neck again, that is driving me insane. I would love even a bags system based on the modern M.O.L.L.E, this will be so perfect, to adapt your holster/gearvest on what you need, where you need. Sorry for the grammar errors, not a native speaker and never really study it.
