Gravity's acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2 regardless. The bullet is flatter shooting because it has a higher velocity and a smaller drag coefficient.

I think dogs should be able to attack people, with packs being an option, if you can have more than one "pet" at a given time.

Because rebels often have strange guns. Listen to what the veterans find among rebel caches. Why would there be a gun from world war II in 2014? The same reason in the US we have guns from WWII. But the legality of owenership in a poor fictional soviet satellite state is questionable? And there are rebels? All the more reason for them to exist! They'd value them more than americans. The thompson would be iffy but not unbelievable. This really all depends on where Chernarus is located. In certain middle eastern countries, the "tee-bore" aka the .30 cal Tokarev round is really all the rage. There guns like the Ppsh and the PPS-42, and even the PPD-40 would make perfect sense. (They're not legal to own there anymore, and even semi-auto versions were recently banned in some places, which mimic the shape and function of these old smgs). The caliber is liked, there are rebels, they want long-arms, it all pans out. "This belongs in a museum blah blah blah. If the gun still works as intended and you have ammo for it, you're going to use it. I'll be frank, I was referring to Pakistan, and how you can find bizarre things.

Being in different families, yes they are different. I'm just saying, the comment made earlier about them not being true swine is... to what end? Yes, they are not biologically a part of Suina, but they're close.

Hello there, I am 10 credits away (and still going at it!) from a biology degree so maybe I'll be able to shine some light on this! Actually, the degree is not necessary, but here it goes anyway. The act of rooting causes the snout to flatten a bit causing the skull shape to transform to that of the boar in the same generation. It's not the pressure itself flattening it out, but the act triggers a change, like an infant suckling on a woman's boob can make it swell with milk. Also, domestic pigs have no tusks because they are cut off. I'm unaware of how the hair works, but I can only imagine it gets bristly as well. There was a wonderful documentary on pigs a while ago on animal planet I think it was. Also, the tusks won't regrow if removed (but sometimes they miss some roots and they regrow). So after just one generation, you'll have skull, tusks, hair and all. But I am to understand it has only been a few weeks since the infection? This would require a few months, but not many. Also, peccaries and pigs are related, ish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suina Pigs and peccaries belong to the same sub-order, but not family. Does the lay word "related" require they be at least family level? I have no idea.

The portuguese made contact in the 1400s-1500s. They showed them firearms which the Japanese quickly copied and made 350,000. Look it up. Unfortunately for Japan, they didn't realize they had the largest stockpile of arms at the time.

Back in my day, you had to torrent a leaked copy of an alpha to play it, which is to say, steal it. Are you going to complain about the thing you stole? And when you pre-ordered a game, if it was available, you still didn't get alpha access. You're a bunch of ungrateful little shits.

Shooting a gun at the ranges in the game isn't tough at all, especially if you can brace yourself against something. Throwing knives and axes require you to sort of guess at how many turns it has to take while in the air and planning accordingly. At least this is how it was explained it to me, I'm not a thrower. I'd like to see poison in the game. I can't imagine a thrown knife doing much damage unless it hits a major blood vessel.

Alcohol and cannabis should reduce sway. Google it. That's why the olympics banned them (part of the tri-athelon used to include marksmanship). That beer in game, Kvass, should reduce sway, if we ever get a sway system.

Just slit the bulbs and collect the goop. Put in a glass pan and stick it in the oven until desired dryness. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. A shame poppies only bloom in July and it is forever autumn.

Bullets don't cause damage because of transfer of kinetic energy. They kill because of organ failure and bloodless. It just so happens turning forward kinetic energy into a bullet fragmenting with kinetic energy in multiple directions causes greater tissue damage and a higher likelihood of organ failure and more bloodloss. Regarding military vs civilian accuracy, this is a moot point, both can be quite accurate, and most distances are less than 300 meters. Rapid fire plays a large part though. Edit: Hydrostatic Shock is a lie.

Is he buying this new pc for just dayz? That was never stated. I built a new pc just for dayz because why not? 4770k. I wasn't getting some crazy cooling system. In the end I got a decent one anyway. Such is life.

Consider cooling these things. Also, do you want 8 physical cores or 4 physical cores with hyperthreading?

Get a remington 700. My father has one in .30-06 with a stunning wooden stock and a jeweled bolt. You'll change your tune -it's a work of art. I personally cannot stand to shoot it, as I find the .30-06 to be unacceptably painful. Maybe I've manned up since I was 15 (I was so discouraged by it, I bought an SKS, bwahaha). Many places with gun contol make special exceptions for hunting rifles, and this would be a prime example of one. The military version is the m24 in 7.62 Nato and it features a polymer stock and other differences, I doubt it has the fancy jeweled bolt. :P

I'm trying to say, reality, as far as I can tell, in the armaverse, has the SCAR as the primary rifle of the US military. I don't know the last time the US was sticking their nose in Chernarus, but with all the humvees I see, I have to guess their presence there was quite recent, and as such, logically, the rifle they would have been using in the armaverse would have been the SCAR. So the SCAR should arguably be more common than the m4. I'd just like the internal rules of the universe to be consistent.

Are you suggesting ARMA 3 used the scar because it started development when it seemed very plausible that the SCAR was the next big thing, and was trying to emulate reality, and reality turned on it? I would like you introduce to you the is-ought gap, regarding balance. Perhaps logical arguments for reality don't hold up to video games? I'd like a zombie survival simulator, not a game. Edit: Let me say, I am for reality dictating what is possible, and what is likely. I have no problem with adding rarer guns, for the sake that is physically possible. Rare guns do exist, and sometime you find them in weird places. The relative rareness of a gun should really not be an issue when deciding whether or not it should exist (wasting resources to be implemented is another consideration, but not one idealogically, more practically), except in certain extreme instances, like the rare .45 prototype luger, or the WA-2000 which are so rare is to be essentially non-existant. But any gun where gun more than 1 or 2 or however many exist, why not add them? I'm a reality junky, not a balance or even gameplay junky. I play red orchestra religiously.

The scar would not be immersion breaking at all. Listen, the armaverse, we'll call it this, is like an alternate timeline to ours. A few notable key changes occured which sent them on a different course, kind of like the quentin tarantinoverse. Among these is that the US adopted the SCAR as the primary rifle during 2012. In our world, this was heavily considered, and some parts of the military did adopt it. My point is, the armaverse is not our universe, Different things happened, and one of those was the acceptance of the SCAR as the main rifle of the US military. Thus, the SCAR should be somewhat common. Remember, not our world. Edit: In earlier flashppoint/arma games, you used m16 variant. In arma 3, you're issued the SCAR. Does the zombie outbreak occur before or after arma3?

They should add regular non-suppressed ruger .22s, and make the mags super common.

You know, I totally misread him the first time. I was like you know, I've heard the blaser 95 is a quickly little well balanced gun, like ridiculously well balanced. I like balanced guns! If guns aren't balanced, it's harder to aim them! And then I realized he meant the overall effectiveness and not the weight distribution. Edit: And irishroy, you're not american are you? I've grown up with a remington 700 and I just thought, you know, if stuff ever got bad, we'd have an accurate rifle. It never really struck me as weird, just a part of life.

The germans had a lot of issues with their g41/43s, it's interesting stuff, They did want a semi-auto rifle. Also: fallschirmjägergewehr! A man can dream.

I would like to see different quality of ammo too. Shooting crap 7.62x54r will make the SVD shoot crappy. That being said, I only use bear. Oddly enough, it's the same bear you see on the SKS box. It's not match ammo or anything, but it's non-corrosive, and doesn't have hard primers like wolf. Nothing wrong with wolf, you just need to make sure you clean every last drop of cosmoline out of your actions, or you might have every fourth round fail to fire. :P All of this being said, the B95 should be far far far, as stated earlier, more accurate than a mosin, but to truely make it shine, you need match ammo!

A proper set of optics can take a lot of rounds. Don't put a tasco on a .308. You get what you pay for, and real authentic PUs are the beeknees, and still work after 80 years today.

The tokarev can take the PU scope. I mean, why not? There's a bajillion PUs laying around Chernarus. Also, Russia is still selling off it's stockpiles. Still. To this day. $300 for a brilliant looking one in Canada. Also, there's scopes for the garand. Why not scope these beautiful rifles? I'm not a big fan of the idea of "tiers". I see guns as each a work of art in its own right.

I'm more for emulating reality as far as what's physically possible, not what's the norm. Personally, I think nearly all the rifles should be one hit kills without medical treatment, and tearing your shirt into rags does not count as this. I'd like to see machine shops and gunsmiths be random building spawns that are required to attach certain optics, and others require special tools. Also, I'd like to see certain types of optics on certain weapons possible, but pose a risk of damaging the optics, for instance a .22 scope on the mosin. Mounting any optics on the mosin should require tools. It needs a sideplate, and it needs to be drilled and tapped for this. Yet all of the rifles floating around all have bent handles, maybe they have sideplates too? Bubba has been hard at work in Chernarus. I'd like to see this absolutely pedantic. Edit: The PU scope makes fine sense on the SKS as longer scopes get dinged up by shell casing. Plus good luck loading stripper clips with a long scope or especially a long scope and a shell deflector.

Kimbers can approach that, which we have. Browning Hi-Powers too, which as rocket is a fan of, we'll have. So it's not too crazy. I love my little ruger ingame.
