  1. Hello, I've been perusing this forum as well as DayzDB and a few wiki pages. What I'm not finding is are the "real" stats for each gun. Namely, here's what I'd like to see: 1. Dispersion, and also how this gets affected with attachments. Is there a preferred zero for the weapon? 2. Damage @ 100 yards. How many hits does it take to bring a player down for body shots and head shots. DayZDB's information looks like all the rifles have the exact same damage stats. Those are the two things I see lacking overall. Things like magazine capacity and fire rate should be obvious. My main issue is that I'm stuck choosing a new gun and would like the data before I finalize what I'm running around with. I had an M4, but found the accuracy to not be there when I needed it most. In firefights I noted that controlled 3 round bursts would miss even at ~50-75 yards, and if they would hit, the damage would not be sufficient to kill the enemy (full pristine with Magpul parts). As a result, I'm currently carrying a Mosin and will change my playing style accordingly. What worries me is the lack of an automatic one shot kill (from what I've seen/heard) with a bolt action rifle. Thanks for the input, I hope this thread can provide some insights to people who have a choice of primary weapons to choose more wisely. ETA: Also, I'd like to see some discussion regarding the current armor system and how it affects damage. When I died last time, the person I was fighting with had 4 protector cases, and it was like I was firing blanks. My buddy with a Mosin took him out though with a headshot.
