This game is about survival, not shooting at every zed you see so spawning with no gun is a good idea which shows people the real purpose of DayZ. Also finding a weapon isn't hard. When I played first time with my friend we gathered an AK with some ammo, double barreled shotgun and a crossbow with 1 strait in less than an hour so it's not so difficult if people with little knowlegde both about Arma and DayZ managed to find all what they needed. P.S. When you respawn near Cherno try your luck and look for stuff since you have nothing to loose. Yesterday I run straight to the church and supermarket and found all I needed to start: plenty of food, drink, bandages, 2xbinos,2xmap etc. It is worth trying, however leaving that area was really scary : >
