If you have the drop on someone, a chambered 1911, much less any weapon will get the job done. However, in a 1v1 firefight with a fairly capable player armed with something better, you're more than likely going to lose.

Valid point. I don't really KOS unless someone is super geared, but I definitely need to conserve more. I saw no need to conserve ammo in the previous patches as it was so easy to get your hands on. Adapt & survive. (or glitch & dupe) Thats true. I can only speak from my experience. And my experience in the last week has been more than half the people carrying M4's also had a glitched mag. You don't see a problem with someone having infinite bullets without having to reload whatsoever? I don't agree.

Thats fine that you guys still have 5.56 ammo, but you have to realize you're definitely in the minority there. Outside of hacked glitched mags and duplication there is very little legit 5.56 ammo available.

Actually no, most of my friends that had M4's had to ditch them because they couldn't find the 5.56 ammo. I suppose if you had a HUGE stockpile of 5.56 before the patch you could still use it. But by now, there is very little legit 5.56 ammo left.

Where's the anger? It's just a statement.

Thats why you shouldnt think. A 3-man squad killing 7 people over 4 hours is nothing to brag about. If you thought I was bragging you should work on your perception. Definitely hacked, unlimited ammo magazines.

Tents and barracks are generally on or very near airstrips/airfields. Online DayZ map:http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus Barracks locations: http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Barracks You will find tents south of the barracks at balota and also at the west end of the NWAF.

Over the last week my squad and I have run into more and more bandits that have hackmags and M4's. Literally every time we see an M4, we KNOW that person has a hackmag. Since crash sites havent been working, there is NO source for M4 ammo and the only people able to use it are those who have the hacked magazines. Yesterday alone we killed 7 well-geared people in Svetlo over about 4 hours in game. 3 out of those 7 people we killed had hacked magazines.

You and me both. Before the latest update, I was finding 1-2 crash sites per server restart. I haven't found a single one since the 46 stable.

Yeah, don't use the 1911 unless you have the 7 round clip for it. I have the best luck finding ammo/clips in barracks and military tents.

The emoticons and misspelling tend to disagree.

M4 / M4 ammo / M4 attachments - Crash sites are the only source. They're not working at the moment, so the only people able to use M4's are those who have hackmags for them.

At least give him some pointers on zombie killing before you blow his brains out. Rude.

Yes.

Specify the specs sir. Your DayZ settings would help as well (low/normal/high.. etc).

Because it hurts to sit?

Nope, you're just having a bad luck streak. I found 3 in berezino last night, keep looking.

<_< DERP! Being a server admin in DayZ Standalone currently has very limited functionality. The options you currently have as a server admin in DayZ Standalone are: Rename the server.Restart the server.Stop the server.Change the MOTD (Message of the day) which will appear on everyones screen when they join the server.Control when the server resets, setting this to early in the day or early in the night will set your server on a 24/7 day or 24/7 night loop, you could also set it for half and half or set your server to restart at dawn!Change the server to third person allowed or no third person allowed.Change the admin password (this is your rcon password, which allows you to login as admin in the game).Talk in global voice chat (must be logged in as admin).Talk in global text chat (must be logged in as admin).To talk in global voice chat in DayZ Standalone, hold "Caps Lock" and press the period sign or comma sign, this will scroll between direct chat and global chat. To talk in global voice chat in DayZ Standalone, open direct chat by pressing the forward slash button, then press the up and down arrows to cycle threw direct and global chat. To login to RCON in DayZ Standalone, open direct chat using forward slash "/" and type "#login password" (replace password with your RCON password). Source: http://www.d4yz.com/dayz/guide/server-admin-guide I don't expect you to reply now, knowing you were wrong. That takes balls and very few people on these forums possess them. Just enjoy knowing how to speak over global on your own server and maybe do a little research before making statements like "it cant be done."

You logged off/spawned at an airfield, that is your first mistake. Definitely your fault there. Shotgun is completely ineffective right now, its been all over the forums. That's not really your fault, but it is a known bug.

4 in one server sweep? Thats lucky. I thought the AKM was hard to find... but the MP5K took me forever to find. Not that I was steadily searching for it, but I hit every police station and police car I saw in my travels for about 3 days before I found it. I found the magazine well before the gun. Mine spawned in the bottom floor room to the back left when you enter.

Confirmed.

Posting your system specs and dayz settings would probably help.

SFRGaming loves to argue.

Probably admin on global. They can speak over global anytime they want, and when they do its really f'in annoying.

Doesnt a holster do just that? If it doesn't now, surely that is planned.
