No. Making a gun out of raw material is not that simple lmao. At least not one that would work with any reliability.

I think the first shotgun will be a double barrel, breach type shotgun, not a pump. So I am hoping the power is high, especially with slugs within 50 yards or so. The sawn off should have a ton of power with buck shot at very close range. The main benefit IMO will be the length will be easier to handle indoors.

Just had to get this out there because I am seeing this more and more lately. People start talking about rifles and then some one chimes in with "we don't want sniper rifles at all, we just want some hunting rifles". The only difference between a sniper and hunting rifle is the intent of the person using it. They are both long range rifles capable of killing a man with a single shot. What difference does it make if that add one or the other of these Remington 700 M40A1 I am all for them not adding in the .50 cal rifles, but to state only hunting rifles and no sniper rifles is just silly. In understand the immersion aspect and think that hunting rifles should be more plentiful (found in farms, and barns ect) than sniper rifles (found in mil spawns only), but there is no reason to exclude one and not the other.

The modern US military does not use that lol. I am ok with the Mauser being in game. Add in M1 Garand as well. The more the better IMO. Don't discriminate :lol: M1 Garand with modern optics = best gun in game.

Agreed. If they ever add an AS50 type gun the ammo should be extremely rare and super heavy.

I hope the sawn off side by side can go in my pack like a pistol. This way I can carry a full barreled shotgun and a sawn off. Consolidate the ammo and have an indoor gun too. There are some companies that make the side by side still, not too bad for price either. I don't know if any of the major gun companies do though.

Jetpacks don't have guns, they have LASERS pewpewpewpewpewpewpewpewpew :thumbsup: Also the 'fast travel' option, where I just pick a spot on the map and travel there automatically. :lol:

I would love both. The more variety the better imo. I would love 15-20 calibers and 50 or so firearms. I would love to see people carrying all sorts of stuff instead of your typically geared squads in the Mod.

I know, that is why I put that in the OP :thumbsup: They are not exactly the same but have the exact same action, and the stock Rem 700 can reach out and touch a target just the same. The M40 is made more for durability than for accuracy anyway.

I agree, I actually said that in this thread haha. I think the farms/deer stands should be littered with civilian hunting rifles and shot guns and then high end scopes pretty rare and then high end military sniper rifles a bit more rare than the scopes. Just silly that many posters seem to assume that if there were hunting rifles and not sniper rifles the snipers would be less effective. I assume these local hunters are feeding their family with the game they kill, so the civilian rifles should at least shoot straight.

I play the same way and hope the shotgun is good enough to warrant giving up a rifle for. If not I would like to use a hunting/sniper rifle. I like the CZ550. An M40 would be cool too or DMR/M14.

Well if he didn't say it and they DIDN'T remove 3rd person then it is a stretch to say he intended us to play that way.

Obligation? No. They WILL still do it though lmao. Porsche is not obligated to make cars with driver seats on the left side, they do it to maximize profits. Anyway, how do you guys feel about hunting rifles being plentiful but high end scopes being rare? Add scope to hunting rifle and you have a sniper rifle.

This is an alpha. The weapons are not finalized. They used the M4 to start with because it is the most modular gun in the game and most difficult to input (Rocket said this). So I will not 'do the math' until all the weapons and spawn rates are in the game. :thumbsup: Chances are if one of these bases were a MEU base you would find these weapons there. It is more unrealistic to me that I would find fire arms in the school house and fire house, while I can't find a fire axe in the firehouse. I will wait until everything is how it is intended, IE NOT TESTING, before I complain about spawns, spawn rates ect. If you have not noticed every time they add new weapons they have reduced the M4 spawn rate, that will continue have no fear. Most of all THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT, GO FIND ONE OF THE 100s of other threads complaining about western weapons please. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Has he said this?

Solid post Gews but how can you say US involvement makes no difference to M40s being there? If there are M4s there then there would be M40s as well, of course they would be very rare, as they should be. 1 M40 for every 20 M4s or something to that effect. Bottom line as far as why US weapons are there. This is a game they will have US weapons to cater to the market. It's not a big deal. SVD should be in the game too. I say have a bunch of 'sniper' rifles but have the top end scopes rare and if they has unique ammo have that rare as well. Less likely to just shoot every player when I only have 8 rounds in my SVD.

There are already non-permadeath servers. You are looking in the wrong place if you can't find them. Try a server not running DayZ. :thumbsup:

That is another topic completely. I just used the Rem/M40 as an example. Anyway, as has been pointed out a MILLION times there are US firearms there because the US military was there. I think it was a MEU (Marine Expeditionary Unit) which would consist of about 2000 Marines.

Time to play The Road by Jack London. Train hopping at its finest.

I own a Remington 700 and have a harris bipod and leupold mark 4 scope on it. The US Military sniper rifles are built from Rem 700 actions and use harris bipods and leupold mark 4 scopes. Granted there are other scopes they use as well, but you could buy them if you wanted too. My rifle is a 'hunting rifle' though lol.

Just like real life. I often can't walk through a doorway :P

So wait you complain that you have to run really far to get to cherno/elektro all the time but then complain about people continually going to the same location? Why do you even go to cherno/elektro? Honestly if you have an issue then have your friends play in Berezino more often instead of cherno/elektro. There is just as much, or more to do in the north east than anywhere else.

What are black ops clothes? They already have all black outfits that look pretty good. I agree 100% with the cop clothes. I also hope we can fix up one of the cop cars in the game and use them. They do have the texture for a police vest (like the press vest) which will be awesome.

Agreed. They had it in the Cherno Life mod and it did not have long range at all.
