The point of this was that IRL people like me WILL know how to shoot and will gravitate to large caliber sniper rifles for a reason... HOWEVER one of the things you have to do IRL is to mount and sight your own scope in. Scopes are finicky. If you bump them.. and they go out.. you need to reset them. resetting a scope without a laser bore sighter takes firing rounds. Large calibre guns (.50s) take a spotter or relatively bullet hole free wall. This would reduce snipers as sniper rifles have slower rates of fire. I can engage a target at 0-50M w an AKM........... if you have trouble sighting in your rifle and cannot do it.... you wont hit 400M. This will force people who do not know how to do these things to either learn or will push them towards shorter range automatic rifles. unfortunately it will also make snipers that much deadlier

EDIT I would only support this idea if you can get in it and someone else can you down a hill and you can fire your weapon non stop down hill while yelling intelligible stuff at noobs in Elektro ^ Fixed ur post. YW

Just a thought. Everyone is complaining about sniper rifles. I understand. If you cant use one. they are VERY OP against you. Unfortunately this game is incredibly realistic and IRL there would be people who survived with prior marksmanship experience. That being said one of the things we could do to make them more difficult to use is force players to zero thier own scopes (effectively reducing the range of the weapons in an unskilled persons hands and reducing the number of snipers) That being said.... this wont affect me

Ok.......... that being said 80% of the population are fat and out of shape. you shouldnt be able to haul your own ass around for 2 hrs................ Me... I work for a living and am 5' 7" and 200 lbs. Im a rock. I can lift 800lbs. IRL I would do fine hauling around that gear. AND I WOULD DO IT Becuase im also a mathmetician and a .50 calibre rifle allows me to reach out and touch ANYTHING (in a zombie survial situation.... you wont have many LAVs or Heli`s....) (and even they are pray for a .50) The .50 cal retains enough Kinetic Energy to penetrate armor at 2000 yards. So.... per say... If i set up on a HIGH position where I could see all coming and goign for 2000 yards... and set up proper fox holing and observation positions... started a survior group and taught other people to shoot like me (like I do for my group in game) I would and could haul it around. Your lil 7.62mm drops off around 1200m. Ontop of that the .50 BMG is one of the most prolific large calibre rounds in the world.. so all in all ya i would haul it around w all my gear.... just in a group or used in defensive positions on over watch letting OTHER PEOPLE gather food and water..... just so you know TBH idc how heavy somthing is if it allows me to take out vehicles and engage targets 1000M before they can engage me.

you know this would reduce the ability to back stab 'friendlies' when you have less firepower (ie a pistol vs rifle or axe vs pistol) some of my fondest memories are tricking people into being in a group and murdering them for their stuff....................

2 things. ^(this guys) is right as hell. It is not about KE it is about Energy Transfer. A round with a MASSIVE amount of KE (.338 Lapua Mag) that strikes, penetrates and travels through its target (ie a Man @ 100M) retaining 60-75% of its KE is not as effective as say a lighter rounds (say 5.56x45mm) striking a man @ 200M and going end over end, fragmenting and stopping dead inside the body delivering ALL its energy. In hunting you have to select the proper round for the proper target. a Light fast round is good for small game like a deer. Its speed helps retain accuracy at short range (It switches to less efficient at long range but thats another topic). That light round that penetrates say to the heart of a deer is perfect. but If you take that same round and shoot say a moose its another story. The lighter (thinner) FMJ of the round deforms too soon and the KE is delivered too close too the surface resulting in a superficial wound that doesnt strike vitals. A heavier bullet w a thicker jacket is required to do ideal penetration and energy transfer to that larger target. The thicker FMJ does not deform as quickly and helps to penetrate deeper before slowing and delivering most of its energy deeper. Its all about round selection IRL that being said there are over-penetration issues when it comes to automatic rifles and close quarters. ONTOP of all of that........................ there is a thing called game balance. A pistol needs to be relatively useful or it will not be used ever. An automatic rifle landing 3-5 rounds at point blank MASSIVELY outbalances... you see this in all sorts of games (and it basically makes it so there is diversity in weapon selection; i mean if all guns were litterally just ballistically entered then no one would use anything but 5.56mm or 7.62mm or .50 calibre

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT USING SIX LAUNCHER. < it is reverting your manual 1.7.2.5 patch BACK TO 1.7.2.4 making server connections hang on both sides after patching (I patched 1.7.2.5 then beta patched 95883 and launched SU to find it reverted me back to 1.7.2.4) hope this helps NOTE my solution was to go get DayZ Commander. it visually showed my 2 diff versions (1.7.2.4 and 95883). and has filters for crosshairs tags kills etc so bad ass and Six Launcher can shove it. I had to go back and re patch to 1.7.2.5 (was stillin extracted folder) and then works fine GL

:P I ate an M107 and L85AWS the other day setting up a tent :P forgot that the weapons share slots w tools so i put my guns in then dumped the tools and erased guns Tent 50 of any item no matter how big *10 tools or guns (combined) *5 Backpacks *something else cant remember

Had a weird experience tonight on a night server........... I had died and was re gearing in Cherno. I had checked supermarket and firehall so i headed to grab a morphine before heading to Elektro (needing a map still, I was headed towards a tent near elektro). Players hear shots better than hear zombie growls so I decided to climb the hospital to check the roof instead of shooting my aggro or running it off. On the roof was a body. Alice pack map compass etc. I took what I wanted and decided Id wait the body out to be a dick and kill the owner when he got back. So i climb the little thing on the hospital roof and prone out in third person and am constantly looking around for zombies I didnt spawn. 5 Mins, nothing­. 10 Mins, nothing. Im sitting patiently, mostly because the longer it takes him the better it is (bandit power). My wife called me over to our couch (beside computer cant see screen). so i popped out the headphone plug and cranked the speakers thinking id hear zombie aggro or ladder steps. I go to my couch and not 10 seconds latter there is this LOUD insanely weird ... music???.... It WAS sound.. but fuck I do not know what it was. I jumped up. It still blaring over the speakers and started frantically looking around for a player blasting that music over short range comms????? no sign of anything. nothing. LOUD blaring noise.... undescribable..... It was like a 4 year old got ahold of a sound board and had added 400 things to play simaltaneously........ The sound played for 10 seconds? (seemed like forever when you have no idea what is causing it). then abruptly stopped.................... I scanned and got paranoid as hell thinking it was a hacker or some fucked up shit so i bailed and jumped servers............. still wondering what the fuck that was

This is not a Global Ban It is what I suspect a local ban I know the server rules for kicking and banning. I have no guns or equipment that I should not I was carrying NVGS R FINDER. L85A2 AWS, M107, DMR M9SD COYOTE all legal gear. found on body on server i can name and location. I was banned upon entry and so was another player I read. I wonder if they are privately looting NW airfield? EDIT I should be able to worry about it because those players running private servers (and only 3 were on at the time) are able to sustain better camps / gear farming and pvp me harder AND When filtering by ping and low pop (for long range treks) you only get so many servers

Ya same thing just happened to me here. I joined "US 1337 Bug Testing" hosted @ 216.244.93.178:2352 and was banned upon joining. I suspect something is up here.

EDIT use Servertracker.com search and join w IP manually (remote button in MP)
