I honestly think it's just sheer bad luck, redcthulhu. I've read countless people complain about not being able to find weapons, and even I couldn't find one at all last night, and I played for almost 3 hours! (I found cans, scrap metal, ammo, windscreen glass, what looked like a gas can, and a few other items I can't remember..) I'm seeing countless people complain about not being able to find weapons, and seeing even more people posting tips in response telling them how to find them. I'm gonna play for a while tonight, and if I play as long as I did last night without successfully arming my character, I might just cry in frustration. EDIT: K apparently I wasn't fully paying attention when I read your post. Every deer stand and airfield across 50 servers? Wow. No words.
