Tbh that does not bother me much. But yea, if you run with pistol you would naturaly hold it in just 1 hand.

Using DayZero, mod of which community prides itself in being hardcore PvP, as measurement of any PvE activities is plain and simply wrong. And even if adding of 5.45 will not promote trading in slightest, it will bring another bit of realism as well enrich weapon table.

All fair points except that the beginning of your post kinda killed it. Hating on WP weapons in general, yet playing game placed into former Warsaw Pact eastern country.....that must take some iron will to play such game. As much as you have every right to hate any weapon you feel like, objectively speaking you simply can not be against WP weapons being added into DayZ.

Also wonder if sometime later, we might get Vepr and AN-94 or any other truly 5.45 weapon. I mean it certainly is not a priority, I feel that new NATO rifle is needed a lot more, but still would be nice if added later.

Maybe not for casual caliber illiterate, but certainly does for knowledgeable players, who enjoy some resemblance to realism as well.

Well RPK should have more sway and be generaly less accurate unless bipod is deployed against some surface. But yes, it should be heavier...oh I'm so waiting for stamina / weight system to be added. Also please no more endless turbo sprint.

All devs could do is rename AK101 to AK74M, since that is what it is, judged by the shape of magazine.

Good news indeed :-). Anyway I was excited to read that pump action shoty and "winchester" is almost ready AND that doors will stop being b*tch to open plus finally will make sound when opening! I was about to ask if we will get AK74(M) but now I remember Gews pointing out, that ingame AK101 model is in fact AK74M (difference in magazine shape). So I would expect AK101 to be renamed to proper AK74M, polish that model a bit more (that AK74SU model is sexy!) and voila, we have proper member of AK74 family! Please note the shape of magazine, do not mind different buttstocks or foregrips :). AK74M AK101 ingame model we already have

If only STALKER offered coop for atleast 2 people as they originaly intended... Still great game anyway.

Watched it all. Was nice but not any kind of revelation or such. Also wonder about that special PAX build, there was nothing shown in this vid. Btw another interesting "thing" was this Shannonzkiller killer in first row.

That, in turn, reminds me of a dude who thought that gas operated gun mechanisms mean that you have to connect propane tank to the weapon in order to shoot....

Or he was just autorunning and AFK :).

Yeah that can be the case, I've mentioned it myself. Would be very interesting to see the final weapon list for DayZ and then have some discussion about weapons. I also think that it's safe to assume DayZ will receive more weapons of which some will be of western provenience. In the end, Western (NATO) weapons are more prevalent thanks to many sovereign states that are part of it. I would be very surprised if we did not get some Heckler&Koch assaul rifle like G36 and/or G3 of some sorts. Also some variant of Enfield L85 would not be out of place. We got UK pattern assault vests to go with it nicely. Steyr AUG that Austrian soldiers uses could come too, although Austria is not member of NATO (which surprised me tbh). I guess nobody can argue with NATO being in Chernarus at some point. Maybe the only "friction" point is the question of rarity of those weapons, ammo and attachments. Btw thanks for supporting vz.58. I know I'm a bit biased, so it's nice to see other folks like that old workhorse as well.

Do you mean G3SG/1? The one that used 1.5 - 6x optics with claw mount and had still full auto mode? Nice weapon indeed, but it might be tad too good since it would be like bundle of 7.62 assault rifle + powerfull and fast firing sniper rifle. Personaly I kinda dislike weapons, that have no drawback, speaking from gameplay side of things. But maybe those are just memories of DMR back in the mod. That baby did not even have full auto and was wrecking things left and right and still could be used with impunity due to having 20rnd mag and powerful 7.62x51 cartridge. Another problem was, that it's ammo was way too common though. Can't understand why it also spawned in industrials O_o. So personaly I'd prefer best snipers to be bolt action or slower firing semi-auto weapons, but that is just me. I am also not saying that weapons should be "nerfed", but maybe devs can pick carefully which model to add into the game, as not to make anything overly too good. Just my thoughts...

Yeah but you excel at failing, which kinda makes you successful ! :D

Well if the made plate carriers extra rare, then I'd like them in game. It would have trade off of being heavier and provide less inventory space than usual tac vest. But having plate carrier vest should not mean you are immortal. It should reduce dmg of shots or two (depending on caliber), before ballistic plate is ruined and you would need to find new and replace it. Also they could add plates of various ballistic procetion and those of higher one, would be ofc more rare than those protecting against pistol rounds. Just my thoughts though.

I got the feeling devs are working their arse off to bring 0.49 to the stable. I'd rather have new patch on stable, than just read about it :-).

Well there are ways how to mount stuff on venerable vz.58 and some of it must have been Russian. You got some wacky mounts like this: But later, after Velvet revolution in 89, professional soldiers liked to pimp their vz.58's like this and mount western optics/colimators. So in fact, vz.58 could be the "weird" Eastern weapon with ability to mount western optics :-D. Although the same could be said about AK with aftermarket rails on it so... Had to give you beans even though that 5.56 part sounded bit like a bait. Btw in British TV series "Strike back" dude were using this short Vz.58 quite a lot. I think it was that 5.56 version as well. Not sure who "they" are, but some folks would be utmost happy with game having correct/most common calibers for each weapon ;) Btw if I'm hijacking this thread, then I apologize to Chaingunfighter.

I can't remember last time I saw MP5 or mags for it. Also is that damned RAK even in game? Haven't seen that that ugly beast yet, nor it's magazines. Oh how I wonder, how will the game look like somewhere mid beta, with loot tables somehow balanced and reworked.

Voted for all 3 of them, why not. Not that I expect devs to add that many variants at this time, but why not later. I also would love to have Sa vz.58 as well. Yes, it is not 100% different than AKM, but so what? Internaly it is different weapon, with wooden buttstock it kinda looks different, has different sound. Maybe they could introduce the model allowing for ACOG mounting and since it has different mag than AKM, it could be rarer weapon than AKM/AK74, but still of eastern provenience. Btw anybody excited to see the list of weapons, that devs supposedly finished recently? I imagine it will bring some people to tears, but it's better to know what's coming than not, right?

If the cause is common, I fail to see any reason behind arguing about whose arguments are better. Anyways it was said X times already, why AK sharing the same ammo as M4 is not very good decision, both from realism and gameplay side. Couple this with almost zero effort of introducing 5.45 (and also 7.62x54R) and voila, here you have palpable reason why some folks are unhappy and vocal about it. Also it does not matter if you like realism or not, the merit of this discussion was that game would be BETTER having mentioned calibers which is another reason why are folks vocal about that. Anyway we had this discussion before.

I love how majority in here agrees that 5.45x39 is !good! thing for the game, both from realism and gameplay perspective. Yet there are some folks, that will argue to the death about semantics trying to support dev's decisions all the way or just because they love to argue.

I suppose if he were to create completely new Steam account, he could purchase new copy and play it? Anyway I guess we all know that you are infact "your friend" and should feel ashamed for cheating and ruining other people's fun! edit: darn, dude above was faster

The thing is, that AKS74U should be only in 5.45 right? If they wanted to pull that caliber trick again, they could have just introduced some shortened version of AKM, no matter how rare that one might be.

And I thought this was about adding more spray colors O_o.
