    Thanks for the input. I was looking for an easy way out. Was hoping someone would easily describe the phenomena. I read the following on incline shooting and they said that both above and below shoots higher. I can't get my head around it so I had asked on here.

     

    http://customturretsystems.com/shooting-at-angles-should-you-aim-high-low-or-dead-on/

     

    Im gonna take out a rifle tomorrow, and test this, ive always felt this is not true... especially with a bow(i got one o them as well..)  Ill test it with a 75lbs compound, a .270 and a .22, and get back to you... ;)  But im still fairly certain these experts are wrong :huh:

     

     And after reading this http://www.millettsights.com/downloads/ShootingUphillAndDownhill.pdf ill admit im WRONG.... god knows how many times ive missed because o aimmin the wrong way :blush:  or decidin im just im over estimating range.

    I dont know in game... but irl, if shooting down hill the bullet will hit higher than distance if zeroed to that distance, and up hill lower... Not both the same way, opposites.

     

     And it depends on angle by how much, i dont know the exact science to it... but your horizontal distance makes intuitive sense down hill, up hill... ummm it drops more, i guess because gravity as well as air friction is working against the velocity... We nned someone smarter and less lazy(with the ability o google probably) to figure this out. :D

    Unless you're in the military or know how to properly handle a weapon, the chances that you're a crap shot will be pretty high. Considering we're all just random survivors in-game, it's safe to assume that we're all just random Joe Schmoes who've probably never used a weapon before. So the weapons inaccuracy is rather realistic since there's more to just aiming and shooting in real life.

    Thats just crap, pretty much every person i know can shoot... including my children and fiancee, even my ex wife... Maybe if you grew up in a big city... but this isnt exactly set in a heavily urbanised part o the world... Country people can shoot... assault rifles are even easier too shoot than most hunting rifles, because they have next to no recoil... and are extremely simple machines, i could give my boy an AUG or M4, i can guarantee he would know how to strip it down within 15mins. MG's are a bit different, but just because you can loose yah teeth if yah havnt released bolt before yah try removing the spring, and the gas plug is not intuitive to take apart. But this whole yah cant shoot if yah not trained, is rubbish.

    Pretty sure it was. The values are very specific, you don't come up with something like "0.0440968" just by choosing randomly.

    A mis placed decimal point? I hope, the water bottles hold like 10mls... but yea, wouldnt be impressed with the randomness remaining, hopefully they just put in mean weapon sway...

    Server hoppers are a trouble but rememeber guys before screaming hooper logging back into the server you always ( or mostly ) play on appears exactly the same as someone hopping lol......

    its never wise to log in a building, or lootable area, ever. Its asking ti get killed on log in, a tree or bush with a bit oa view is the best spot to be.

    I think body disposal has to become something of importance. Make lots of dead bodies lying around (player and zombie bodies) have a negative effect like getting sick from them. 

     

    Only then could I see there being a point to burning them.

    I dunno, if yah got a can o gas and some matches, light up yer mate, to destroy all his items, and prevent the enemy capturing them... not really a funeral pyre mind. And dont limit it to dead players :huh:

    Sounds good, I think I'd be interesting.

     

    Many people won't like it though > :(

     

    In the end you probably can't change a thing though, I've had quite a few people coming up to me saying "Hey dude, friendly, please kill me"

     

    How about a 20 to 30 minute respawn timer?

    The respawn timer is a horrible idea.. you can suicide to Z's... what if yah mess up (get a phone call or such and get killed by Z's) and yah fcome back to find your locked out for 30min... i would rage so hard! Think of the poor key boards out there that will be abused if  such a thing was adopted!

    I think CS gas/tear gas. And maybe whatever the hell the Russians used for the Moscow siege (the mostly knock out gas) would be a great addition, gas masks would have a point... either through a 40mm or grenades... those pepper ball paint ball guns would be kinda mean in close too for non lethal.

    I personally like the idea of slings, they would be about as common as other rifle attachments but not all weapons have sling loops and you are a civilian so tying a sling might be quite difficult (if were going for realism here) i have used an L98A2 (SA80 variant) and the sling for that does take me a about 45seconds to set up but i have done it lots of times. But rags you said simple easy just tie a lot of rags together with knots is a good idea

    Yea, i used to use sa80 style combat slings on my styer AUG back in the day... at the moment, ive used a drench strap on my 10/22 to sling it exactly the same(minus the sliding clip) it still works as a shooting harness etc just as well as the original... theyre not hard to make.

     

     And for that matter, there was this "group" ill call them, back in army days... that pretty much to the man, just used a loop o para cord for their weapon slings, dosnt come any simpler than that, and it worked well (they just used to throw around neck, and not worry about going over a shoulder)

     

     So crafting a sling, should not be all that difficult, a bit o rope is all yah need. You dont even "need" to move swivel to set up combat style sling.(i do, purely for aesthetic purposes)

    This thread is about sniper rifles.

    Indeed... Im getting side tracked by what would feasibly be deployed. Which is silly, there will be what the devs put in the game. And anything could plausibly belong.

     

     

    im fucking tired of reading you nerds on the internet with your brainless comments cus youre brain dead from porn and cheeto's and you've never experienced a real girl and felt her skin. dont add sniper rifles? do you think thats gonna stop me from murdering you at the shore? do you think thats gonna stop my bandit mentality? whats next remvoe guns from the game? ill kill you with a fucking hatchet you pussies. its just like gun control in real life, its the person that decides to kill not the weapon. anyway 50. cal anti-material rifles do have a use dipshits, its useful on VEHICLES, what they were designed for and vehicles are being added to the game. add 50. cals and make them and the ammo rare. now stfu you pussys and go workout and tryn get a life

     Perhaps you should read something else...And dont hassle my porn >:(

    OH YEAH, I read that book. Great BTW, Yonkers was a utter failure since they used weapons made for armor.

    Because its fiction... what do you think would happen if 60 tons o steel being driven by 1500hp, going 40 mph went flying up a road through a mob o Z's... it would make for a very short Z apocalypse... without even bothering to use armaments. Tiananmen square can testify to the effectiveness o flesh stopping steel, it not very effective.

    Yeah, like TANK ROUNDS are good against flesh....

    HAVE YOU EVER SEEN anyone deploy tanks for the primary purpose of engaging flesh based targets?

    APC's would be deployed, just because, infantry is pretty much mechanized in this day and age, and a great visual deterrent to would be trouble makers, if your still talking about what kinda forces hypothetically would be deployed for a Z apocalypse. (well, thats what is deployed for peace keeping in this day and age.. even in less advanced societies) MBT's, depends on who exactly was deployed... Afganistan, they are deployed, for pretty much solely meat sack targets... same with the Russians in Chechnya... there is no such thing as killing someone too much ;) 

     

      I dont think tanks would be a good idea... maybe stealing armor plate of wreaks.. to mad max out vehicles (totally assuming thats what was meant, it may mean nothing more than cannibalizing other vehicles. )

    Did anyone watch the latest episode of The Walking Dead? There was a tank in a very similar setting that DayZ is in and yet we probably won't even see the DMR making a appearance in SA because it's too OP.

    Zombies, must have a taste for armor in dayz, they ate all the apcs, hind D's, mbt's etc... DMR's... yea, well an svd is basically the same thing, on civi street, a springfield arms m14 will set yah back 2k or so.. but truth is, norinco(china) have been flooding the world market with very cheap m14s for a few years now (ive never brought one, to see how they shoot, been tempted, but fear o the miss has prevented it) .. Brand new, they only cost $400 -$500. bipod, $50, knock off 6x-24x 50mm AOE scope $100... So yea, a DMR setup, could potentially be a very cheap, easy setup...  In the really real world.

     

     Armor would be a lil over the top, realistically balance wise.

    Have you ever worn a moto helmet and let somebody hit your head? ROFL

    The helmet is so heavy. Your head rocks to one side, you lose balance and awareness due to visability loss (3rd person view? hur hur).

    Basically 1 punch and you have no chance, regardless if you get KO'd 

    I have no idea why they're in the game, the moto helmet only protects against bullets, which should be rare. so you're roaming in a helmet 24/7 in case you get shot in the head???? which is 1/10 chance of happening? 

    What was Rocket Smoking? 

    Do moto helmets protect from bullets? They should'nt, a bit o high density foam with a hardened shell over top(well might stop a .22 killing yah.... might), ive never found em that heavy irl...

     

     I havnt been in a boxing match yet in game. (my boy killed a dude this way with character) dosnt the q & e work for swaying? a ballistics helmet isnt gonna save yah from a smack to the face, only fore head shots, and the behind the ears, i can see kos's point on moto helmets, but it would be hard to catch a chin, if yah got it tucked in a moto helmet.

     

     Ive been punched... a lot square in the face, and in all honesty, it dosnt hurt at the time, well not for me.. after, yup... during a fight no. But all it takes is one lucky (or unlucky  depending on which side o fight)  punch and its lights out for a bit.
