Agreed, now that all the claims of it being unrealistic have been debunked with photo evidence, there is no reason not to allow this act in game. As for it being a superior choice to the binoculars, so be it. This isn't supposed to be a casual game where items are adjusted for balance.

Seeing how many dislike the scarcity of magazines in game (and really, I agree as guns tend to be more common than their magazines), I doubt we'll see that many new weapons with detachable magazines. It's also the fact that we're playing a game set in East Europe and hardly any of the weapons or ammunition )or planned weapons and ammunition) are Warsaw pact in origin/in common use. Development has been very haywire. Despite having access to ARMA files, we don't even have real American/NATO uniforms. I would be fine with this if the game only featured Eastern European clothing and items, but now we have fictitious American uniforms in solid green,tan,black and grey. Plate carriers are in the next patch, but I highly doubt players will be able to weave gear on the molle loops or wear a gear vest over it like their real world counterparts. Seems very causal. Sorry for the rant.

My problem with the RAK is how it's a .380 model. In real life it failed to gain interest on the market. The 9x18 model would have made sense and allowed the Vityaz and Bizon in later updates. It seems the Devs chambered it in .380 to spite the authenticity crowd. Also why no Saiga or Vepr yet? A shotgun with a detachable magazine and in semi auto may make shells desirable in the game.

I agree an M4 can be broken into a upper and lower receiver for easy stowage and AK rifles would fit in that mountain backpack with little effort. This belongs in the Suggestions forum.

Crimson trace grips should be an attachment for M1911 pistols. Also where is our ArmA 3 imported Mateba auto revolver chambered in .357?

The UK Assault vest should then be non compatible with a rifle. It would have been nicer to make a second skin for the gas mask that adjusts for the MICH.

you are getting wet

I think the Mini 14 would be bad, for the case that the mags are proprietary. I agree with you, for all its faults, the M14 EBR is one of my favorites, I own one. As far as the automatic setting, the EBR stock has a cut out so that a model with a auto selector can be accepted, and some military M14 EBRs retain their select fire capability. For gameplay purposes the EBR should be semi automatic fire only.

Seeing how at this point the Devs have done a very poor job of weapon ballistics, Just adding the rifle in would be a step in the right direction. As for it's commonality, Sage International sells the EBR stock on the civilian market and it it very popular. (I had to wait over six months to finally receive mine). It requires a new barrel lug that makes the M14/M1A (The M1A is the civilian model M14 that isn't select fire) non comparable with it's original stock thus it would be logical to find an EBR complete rather than as an attachment. Although it is known for it's role as a Designated Marksmen Rifle, it can be used as a "Battle rifle" with a Comp M2/M4 red dot sight. Also the M14 EBR isn't some tactical assault military weapon of doom as some lesser educated people may think. Despite it's number of accessory rails, it is a weapon system with flaws.The EBR stock cannot be mated with match grade barrels, it is very heavy, and it is outclassed by other Designated Marksmen Rifles, such as the M110. Seeing how it isn't the very best rifle out there, but very good and well known, as well as the fact that the Devs can just port over existing resources for less effort than building new files from scratch, it would be a good addition.

A weapon stoppage barring a short recoil does not require a tool to clear out. I would like to see a STALKER style weapon malfunction system where a stoppage is cleared out with the reload button (or in this stage with the crappy UI, the scroll wheel).

Eat horse. Horses are a source of meat when they are spent.

The Skin form the M14 EBR can be imported from ArmA 3 like they did with the FNX pistol. Its a matter of the Dev team wanting it in.

The clacker needs a connection to the claymore. It is not a remote. The M18 can also be set with a tripwire. This is two methods. A remote is wireless, M57 firing device is not wireless.

I believe that is what I said.

An interesting thing for some of you that may not know, Snipers in the US military make their own suits rather than buy pre-made ones. The best ones I've seen are built on flight suits. I think if the game devs add a pre-made suit, it should be very poor quality and a higher end suit needs to be crafted or stolen from someone else.

Look up a claymore det on youtube. Attaching shotgun pellets to it is like throwing a cup of water on a spewing fire hose. Also you seem to misunderstand. The firing device isn't a remote and uses firing wire or you can set it up to be tripwire (victim) activated.

Something like this: http://www.blackhawk.com/product/%E2%84%A6mega-Tactical-Vest-MedicUtility,1130,85.htm Or this: http://www.hsgear.biz/ProductInfo~productid~33-MV01.html With a civilian variant that spawns in hospitals like this: http://www.kitdesignworks.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/1511-Ambulance-Vest.png Would be great. Give it a limitation of only medical items and the same space of the High cap Assault Vest and you're good to go.

Yeah on a related note, I really like how the clown masks became a bandit thing. If only something like the UN berets or medic uniforms became a way of IDing neutrals.

QQ. Surplus uniforms are very easy to find all over the world and it takes little skill to make camo netting and fashion it into a suit.

Some of your details are flawed. Hellfire devices are crap. It isn't a drop in auto sear. Using one is very difficult to aim or apply fundamentals. On MAC-10s, there are some cases of full auto variants being made illegally. In some countries in Europe such as Czech Republic, they can be owned legally. In the US, Pre 1986 models can be found for about 3000~5000 USD. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/jeweller-angelos-koots-admits-to-making-submachine-guns-at-his-seven-hills-home-and-supplying-them-to-bikie-groups/story-fni0cx12-1226760983916?nk=51cf9601432ba02ebd7dc7268357a91c http://www.gunbroker.com/MAC-10/Browse.aspx?Keywords=MAC+10

Ammo cooking off isn't as hazardous as one would think. Rounds under pressure may bust their casings, rather than propel the projectile. It does make a pretty intimidating noise though.

No. They are very common in NATO and Eastern European militaries. In fact they have been standard issue for deploying US forces after 2007.

I concur. Here is an example with an ACOG.

The MICH helmet (Kevlar helmet) should be modular as it is in real life. You should be able to wear a gas mask with it and mount the head mounted flashlight or PVS-14 ( The NVG,Which is due for release soon as it is in the game files). I know the Gas mask in game had clipping issues, however I think it did not warrant non compatibility. I can post images of the PVS-14 mounting bracket for the MICH if anyone is interested on how it clamps on the helmet.

Carrier would be great. Littered with junked helicopters and maybe a crashed aircraft in the superstructure.
