Eh, I could step in if no one wants to. I do prefer Gews. Gibonez seems on the ball too, mostly. He has a well founded hatred of mosins, but there are good ones out there if you look hard enough. Especially finnish ones. But that's not really fair. I tend to get side-tracked easily. Hey, at least I know an FN-WIN when I see one.

This is untrue. It is also compatible with the SKS-D, and these were the ones I mentioned earlier as being produced by the chinese. However, midwest ordinance examples still exist (the folks who were forced to show the chinese) as well as other modified pieces, some of which are also well done.

Mounting a scope to several of these rifles requires riveting a plate/rail to the side of the receiver. Maybe there could be old machine shops which would be required? Then you could cut off the tang and drill holes for an underfolding stock so you could attach a design meant for the 9x19 round instead on a rifle resulting in a painful to use stock with terrible cheek weld instead of a proper side folding stock. On a side note, and this time no snarkiness, you ever see one of those custom rpks with the barrel cut down and the sights reattached and the furniture swapped out? It looks like an AKM except it has thicker rpk receiver and a thicker barrel. Pretty cool stuff. Also, what about welding tangs to make the Aks-74 into an ak-74? I like the idea of moddable warsaw guns, but they require more tools, so I'd like to see those too.

Why not a few different flavors of SKS, instead of only the 59/66? I want to see "standard" ones. Also, midwest ordinance perfected converting the SKS to take standard AK mags. Old Willy Clinton then forced them to show the chinese who pumped them out ad nauseum.

The 7.62 rimmed round is flatter shooting than the m43 and penetrates cover better than the 5.45x39. Small fast rounds cause superior wounding because they have a tendency to fragment within 150 yards. Large heavy rounds also do this if sufficiently fast. The m43 is not. Personally, I'd like to see two variants on the mosin. One with a straight bolt that shoots 2-4 moa and one with a bent bolt that shoots much less, and would be an appropriate long range rifle. That'd be a reason to choose the mosin. It'd be a long range rifle that uses common ammo. Also, different ammo types, standard and "match".

They already have passive skill increase. Start opening up cans with screwdrivers and fireaxes. Notice you'll drop just a tad less each time.

There already is a skill system. Ever notice how when you open up a can with something other than a can opener, you drop less and less and less of it? Like you're slowly getting better at it? One time I could open it nearly perfectly with a screwdriver.

Because makarov is for to be in every soviet game you capitalist pig. Also, I've heard early imports of the saiga 12 were crap too. Idk.

Hey, do you play on hardcore servers? :D

I've seen world war Z, and read the book. And the zombie survival handbook, or whatever it was called. It doesn't make any sense. Neither does 28 days later. Nor 28 weeks later. I once made it a point to watch every zombie movie on wikipedia that was actually somewhat findable. Right down the row in alphabetical order. Zombies don't make sense, period. Let's focus on the living variety, not the dead ones for this. Sick people are not stronger, or fast. I don't know what infections you've dealt with, but sick people are slower, weaker, and generally don't think as clearly. Remember, things like walking, and swinging limbs to attack people all require coordination, which are processes of the brain. Infections of the brain tend to hamper these abilities, drastically. Here is rabies for instance: These people often lack the capacity to walk, much less aggressively attack me, much less become super human killing machines. This is all fantasy. Yet after 3 days time, not 24, as we do all need to drink, they (the zombies in the world. not rabies' victims) would be dead. All of them. Blood is too salty to sustain yourself on, and you'll vomit after ingestion of more than one cup, roughly. Resulting even even less than 3 days. Do you see where I'm going with this? All of this being said, I think zombies are fine as they are now in the stable branch, I'd just like to see more of them. (Note, the crazies had an interesting spin, but these zombies burned out fast. On that note, don't use the adrenaline argument, sustained adrenaline will destroy you. There's a reason why it's only available for short bursts.)

If I'm sick with the flu, or rabies, or some other terrible disease, I'm not going to be able to run very fast, or probably even stand up straight. Do you expect them to be in some kind of constant adrenaline rush? This would quickly kill them. Seriously, it's like killing patients in the hospital. I think the key is numbers, not making individual zombies stronger.

As Gews said, the standard version you and I know was made to comply with the GCA of 1968 as amended in 1989 to confer "sporting purpose", which I may or may not know of, but didn't feel like talking about, which is why I nominated Gews. Regardless, it's all verbatum law from the third reich. I'd rather not go into it.

I nominate Gews. I tried by PM, but his are full. He is by far the most competent.

When the police in the US switched over to .40 cal handguns, a whole bunch of these things flooded the market a few years ago. They could be had readily for under $300, even beating the CZ-75 in price. Of course, those days are over. Betcha you wish you snagged a whole bunch up, eh?

I like the idea of having a holster which allows for faster draw of a handgun coupled with inventory slots. Balanced? BALANCED? That word makes me rabid. Molle vests exist. Get over it. I own a molle backpack. I plan on buying water bottle bags for the sides. Why buy a bag that doesn't have water bottle bags already? I can fit all my books and folder after folder after folder in there. So much storage. Such utility! So win!

Every 2 levels, you should do an extra 1d6 damage.

I'd like to see a 9 mm luger p08 and an ortgie's .380 or .32 depending on which ammo is more common in the game. An SKS that isn't ugly as sin, and a saiga 12. Man check out the stock on that SKS, it's a beauty, the russian type, not the weird yugo type. Personally, I use my Yugo for bizarre experiments not fitting for a piece of history. It's already entering the realm of unholy.

Wasn't there a Monty Python sketch about this? How to defend yourself when being attacked with fresh fruit?

In there mod, I would go to this clan's base and run over all their tents full of stuff. It was war. Things always escalated from mere survival to base building to war. We'd loot all we could and simply destroy the rest.

Here are 3 known examples of drugs which allow you to be less shaky and thus shoot more accurately. Because of this, these 3 particular drugs are banned by the Olympics, which used to have events that included target shooting. As a side note, I mentioned how some drugs can produce something like a mild audio hallucination. Trying to locate source of said audio hallucination can easily get you killed if you're in a hostile environment.

Please do remove the need to forcibly vote. Everytime I've thus been forced to vote against some weapon, despite at times, the lack of a need to vote against a particular weapon. Please fix this.

I did. :P Also, it's the 7.63 mauser, not the 7.62 tokarev. It has been said on here that it can fire the 7.62 tokarev with a very very minor decrease in accuracy. I can't confirm or deny this, but there are other firearms chambered in the 7.63 mauser which CANNOT take the 7.62 tokarev. If the c96 can take either round... that's be pretty cool actually. However, I think c96s in 9mm and .45 would be pretty cool as well. The c96 in .45 was used in china during the warlord period. Crazy stuff.

That would be called a receiver. This concept would be neat if you were making tube guns. but there aren't even any machine pistols in game yet. However, it all needs to be headspaced. It's really not doable without a machine shop. There do appear to be several factories. Idk.

Marijuana, alcohol, and beta blockers are all banned by the Olympics because they steady your nerves and give you an unfair advantage in shooting, no joke. All 3 of these drugs will improve your steadiness and make you a better shot.I don't foresee beta blockers being in the game; anyone with heart troubles is in a world of shit. I read this long article by a man in the civil war (he didn't participate in it, just tried to survive) in what was once Yugoslavia. Many of the hard drug users died when SHTF, but marijuana and alcohol flourished. However, he noted, sometimes you could almost sort of hear a far away song play with marijuana, that you just can't quite hear. Don't go outside looking for it when there are mortars and machine guns going off outside.

I've never tried cracking a skull with a machete. Is it doable in one swing or two? Maybe the game accurately captures this. Honestly, I think it depends on the swinger. I should at least be able to decapitate with a neck blow.
