I find it hard to believe the only way to go fishing is with a poorly crafted rope and Ashwood stick. Given how many people go fishing, and how rarely fishing is actually done, we should make it possible to find proper professional fishing rods in houses. They can be used as poor melee weapons like in the mod or to do fishing, with a stronger line than a normal ashwood fishing rod. Ideally they should also be able to be dismantled like the Trumpet with reel removed and rod telescoped in. Also we should be able to make bait out of meat gathered from hunting or fishing, or canned food. Fishing rods surely would be very common and in almost everyone's zombie apocalypse wishlist.

A CZ550 would probably be adequate at bears thought if you brought back the 9.3mm model, and be a nice homage to the mod as well. But honestly, the 7.62x51 is probably going to be more than adequate so long as you hit the target.

I always find mags for a CR, Makarov, CR75 or Sporter in vehicle wrecks. You just have to stop looking in the obvious place. Try the vehicle junkyard near Chernaya and Berezino.

That's a sure way to empty a server.

That being said I wonder about the practicalities of Leg Irons. Very heavy, and would take up quite some backpack space. For a leg restraint, I'd much rather duct tape be able to be used for gagging, tying up arms and legs, or rope being used to hogtie people.

Yaris are in common global circulation, both originals and replicas, and Russia did attain many of them through trading with the Japanese in the 19th Century, and also in the early 20th century, and likely acquired some stocks of them during the Russo-Japanese war at the beginning of the 20th Century. The Pattern 1853 is a very common caplock musket across the globe - probably the most popular caplock musket too - and Russia certainly would have come into contact with British stocks of the new Pattern 1853 during the Crimean War, when it was the standard British infantry firearm replacing the P1851 rifled musket in 1855 in the Crimea. Furthermore, it has a muzzle velocity of 430m/s and combined with the heavy weight of the projectile (remember, it is .577 caliber) actually could cause severe wounds that would shatter bones, and generally required to be treated with amputation. The X26 could be argued to have been in stock due to NATO/American intervention in Chernarus (hence the AUG and M4A1 as well) probably as a compliance weapon for handling of refugees and survivors during the initial outbreak. The US military use them for example as the M26. No.1 MKIII Lee Enfield stocks would have been acquired and captured from Allied forces that fought during the Russian Civil War, and possibly American .30-06 Enfields such as the M1917, or British 7.62 L42A1 stocks. It makes sense though to put them in as a civilian hunting firearm just like the M1911 (which in Russia isn't as popular as TT33 and Makarovs) and honestly just to pay some homage to the mod.

Rubbing sticks and stoves.

Sounds good, so long as I can make people slaves with them and make them sing blues music whilst tending to my crops.

This would be nice. A nice little shack in the woods and use lockpicks to protect yourself from someone ambushing your camp. Would be nice to basically turn a lodge into a safehouse for survivors and go hunting, grow some crops and make a base out of it.

I'd much rather a whistle or megaphone than a horn, bugle etc. It's the 21st century.

Green leaves are the tactic I was taught to use in the Air Force Cadets in Australia. The fluids within the still live leaf steam and create a hell of a lot of smoke, which we were taught to use to signal aircraft should we ever get lost. But smoke signals would be awesome to have, with the ability to build up a fire a certain way or to generate smoke. Plus, the smoke will also be visible during the day as well, whereas the radiating light from fireplaces is only visible from a distance at night.

You see Boris, to kill enemy, you must become enemy.

Here's my suggestions: Chu Ke Nu: The Chu Ke Nu Repeating Crossbow is a standard Chinese medieval recurved crossbow that carries a magazine of multiple arrows (between 3-5 arrows) that can draw back the string, load an arrow and fire it in a single movement of a lever, allowing one shot to be fired at a rapid rate of up to 1-2 seconds between shots. The crossbow bolts can pack a serious punch and the weapon is completely silent, making it an ideal stealth close quarters weapon. It is also relatively easy to aim at a short range as well. X26: The X26 is a handheld "pistol" configuration tazer. It fires a single cartridge that launches two prongs attached to the weapon via wires that lodge into the target's clothing or skin and deliver a strong electrical charge through the completed circuit, incapacitating the target and causing them to experience involuntary and painful muscle spasms, upon which they collapse to the ground unconscious and are able to be restrained. Not ideal to be shot with if you are wearing a pace maker. Pattern '53: The Pattern 1853 Enfield rifled musket is a muzzleloading percussion caplock rifle that fires a devastatingly powerful .577 caliber minie ball. It is a single shot rifle that needs to be reloaded via the muzzle, taking roughly 15 seconds to do. It's incredibly powerful (should be able to one hit kill even with armour on, or dismember limbs should that be added) and accurate out to 300 yards easily with adjustable sights. However, the slow reload and large size of the rifle make it very difficult to use in close quarters (though the one hit kill ability makes it a great ambush hold up gun.) It's also incredibly loud and leaves a large smoke report when firing, meaning you will give away your position easily when shooting. The firearm is loaded using paper cartridges - these can be created by combining gunpowder with paper, and then this becomes a one round magazine upon which a Minie Ball is loaded into, before reloading the completed package into the gun. Alternatively, a stone can be loaded into the cartridge as well, but it is less powerful and less accurate than a Minie Ball. Saiga 12K: The Saiga 12K is a semi automatic external magazine fed 12 gauge shotgun. It uses an 8 round box magazine for the rifle and is the king of close quarters combat as a shotgun. It can even dismember limbs if a considerable amount of shot strikes the limb, and the semi automatic action allows for a rapid amount of damage to be inflicted in short order on a target or multiple targets. It can also be loaded with slugs to function as a crude semi automatic rifle, capable of firing out to around 200m. PPSh-41: The PPSh-41 is a WW2 era Soviet submachine gun. It has a devastating rate of fire at 900rpm and can be loaded with 35 round box magazines, or a 71 round drum magazine. It has heavy recoil and is only effective in close quarters, and lacks the ability to be select fire. However, in clearing rooms and buildings, the shower of lead is incredibly devastating to targets. It would be chambered for 7.62x25mm (unless there's a .380 auto variant which I am unaware of.) No. 1 MK III: The No. 1 MK III is a WW1 era British military rifle. It has a very smooth bolt action, and uses a 10 round magazine with adjustable sights by default. It would be chambered for British .303. Alternative sights can be fitted, such as a No. 4 Peep Sight and a telescopic sight for long range shooting, or an open volley sight. High Wall: The Winchester Model 1885 High Wall is a .30-06 modern reproduction of a Western falling block rifle. It only may load one shot at a time, and is incredibly accurate and devastating. Model 625: The Model 625 is a 6 shooting .45ACP revolver. It packs considerable stopping power and a double action mechanism, allowing the user to fire multiple times without manually cocking the action. M79: The M79 is a break action single shot 40mm grenade launcher. It can fire a large buckshot blast, a 40mm HE grenade, smoke grenades or flares and has a range of up to 400m. DPM: The DPM is a WW2 era light machine gun that fires a 7.62x54mmR cartridge from a top fed pan magazine with a steady rate of fire. The machine gun is heavy, and is capable of being fired from the shoulder or from a bipod, delivering accurate suppressive fire at any range. Maxim M1910: The Maxim PM M1910 is a heavy machine gun that fires a 7.62x54mmR cartridge from a belt on a static or mounted position. The machine gun fires at a steady rate of fire, and the water cooler prevents the weapon from overheating and the heavy mounting allows for accurate sustained fire, turning the machine gun into a fearsome static weapon. Satchel Charge: Satchel charges are simple satchels containing a large explosive charge inside. The blast is capable of wide spread demolition (capable of collapsing buildings) and can be detonated via a 30 second timer or a remote device. Power Drill: The power drill is a handheld tool capable of putting holes through flat surfaces, as well as screwing/unscrewing bolts into the surface. Keep hands away from the drill tip during operation. Requires a drill battery to use and various drill bits can be interchanged capable of doing different tasks. Yari: The Yari is a Japanese traditional war spear with a straight blade and a bladed collar. It has a long reach and the considerable weight and length also allows it to be driven into a target with considerable force. Kris: The Kris is an iron dagger with a zig zagging blade forged with alternations of laminations of iron and nickelous iron. It is used with a stabbing motion, and the unusual blade pattern allows for a stab that covers a large surface area, causing greater tissue damage. Often believed to also contain spirits that may bring good or bad luck to the user.
