    What is the best pistol in DayZ SA?

    5.56 < .45 ACP = .357 M < 7.62 Soviet

    What is the best pistol in DayZ SA?

    No, most of the pistols have the same dispersion of 0.3. Longhorn has 0.1 and Amphibia 0.2 but they're irrelevant.

    What is the best pistol in DayZ SA?

    FNX45 same dispersion as most pistols fires .45 ACP which is stronger than 5.56 for whatever reason higher mag capacity than 1911 1911 is like FNX45 but cannot mount things, lower mag size and louder sound signature longhorn is a gimmick weapon .357 magnum does same damage as .45 acp but limited to 6 rounds most pistols are irrelevant because of cartridge

    My First AKM!

    Daily reminder that gangster AKM is best AKM and that having a bipod on is detrimental.

    2 things NEEDED to be fixed in next update.

    They fixed uphill running in exp. Rip.
  6. Increase the time it takes to load a magazine unless you have stripper clips. No other adjustment needed. Edit: Might as add loading animations too. It's way too ridiculous to instantly top off a 75 round drum mag. The ammunition counter should go up gradually matching an animation, not instantly. As of current, you only need a total of two or three magazines since it's piss easy to grab ammo and load them in combat. Militants tend to carry as many magazines as they remotely can, in contrast.
  7. Really, you gotta assume that most bambis are dead bandits. You can let them slide if you have a buddy with you but if you're alone, you do not want to deal with them. I've seen bambis that were scouts before and we got ambushed later on.

    Payday masks

    It's a promo. Dean thought people would like it but to his surprise it's used for banditry labeling.

    any point in having a sidearm?

    Yeah, but pistol cartridges being stronger than rifle cartridges. L E L

    any point in having a sidearm?

    I've tested the friendly-but-armed look many times with the MP5K and the FNX45. It never works, people like shooting things too much.

    any point in having a sidearm?

    There's a niche for the sidearms, though. .357 and .45 ACP are stronger than 5.56, letting them penetrate ballistic helmets. Alternatively, you can keep your sidearm to give to a friend or something. The FNX45 is a wicked package for arming someone.
  15. There's way too much of both. Whenever I fire an automatic there's so much smoke and crap kicked up that it obscures my sights. Don't have a pic, look at this: I thought we moved past black powder. Guess not.
  16. hotcakes

    What's with muzzle flash and smoke?

    That has something to do with how surplus nugget food runs hot, and how cut-down nuggets are way too short for the powder to burn. DayZ's guns really need some serious reworking.
  17. hotcakes

    7.62x51mm Rounds?

    The SKS and nugget were going to share ammo types at one point.

    A snipers life for me

    Remove your AKM's bipod. It's already nospread and a bipod makes the gun turn slower.

    A very big complaint

    Not the UN clan, but we play with UN uniforms and we don't play friendly (often).

    AKM vs SKS

    P.S There is no difference between damage done firing cartridges out of different firearms yet. .22 has the same ballistics fired out of the amphibia and the sporter except accuracy.
  23. hotcakes

    AKM vs SKS

    Gews, where are you getting these numbers? The multiplier for 5.56 is 8 and 9.5 for 7.62x39. That's nowhere near 40%. The difference between these cartridges is about a one shot difference, which is barely consequential imho.
