Me and my friend were on vent, and we decided to go to the NW airfield. I had a m16a4 m203 with 3 HE m203 rounds with a revolver sidearm and a CZ550 in my backpack in case I needed it. My friend just had a revolver and a double barrel shotgun. I also need to point out that I only killed one person (who was a bandit, and was my first player kill EVER) in that life, and I had around 350 zombie kills, so I don't fight people much. Anyway, we headed to the NW airfield and we saw a downed helicopter near it and we were going to loot it. There were 3 people already there and they hadn't seen us. My friend stated that there was no safe way to communicate with them and that we just had 2 choices: flight or fight. We chose the latter. I pulled out the CZ550, and when they were attacked by zombies, I shot one in the head, and the rest fled into the forest. We waited about 5 minutes and figured to leave the loot on the body for their friend because all WE wanted to do was go to the airfield. Eventually we crawled our way to the airfield, and those two managed to sneak behind us. I made a bad tactical call on where we should position ourselves for defense and we died (Karma!). So, considering that I fired upon someone for that given reason, does that make me a bandit or just a wary survivor?

This is exactly what a douchebag would say. Killing someone who is armed is all fine and dandy, but to kill them a second time AFTER they helped you makes you the hairy pimple on the asscrack of douchebaggery.

TL;DR? is at the bottom. Just now, playing on some server (it doesn't really matter) I was making my way to the Balota Airfield because my friend and I agreed on linking up there for today. Once I arrived, I figured I'd try to loot a bit, and as I came to one of the hangars, I notice about 2 dozen dead zombie bodies, and I hear flies. I know someone mus be near, so after having a tense conversation with 2 survivors with a wall between us, I told them I'd leave them alone and they can continue looting without fearing me. This lead to me finding the stupid Bandit. I went the opposite direction of the hangars and the tower, just to check the industrial portion of the airfield. A zombie found me as I was crawling, so I stood up and sprinted my way to one of the bays. As I rounded the corner, a person comes around the corner, within 20 yards of me with a CZ 550. *I* could EASILY tell what gun HE was holding, but he didn't think twice about shooting at me without checking what gun *I* was holding. This prompted me to pull out my M16A4 M203, kill the zombie that was following me, and then turn and fire a HE M203 round at the bay. Obviously, that was a stupid move to fire at me without thinking. So to follow the events up, I went into the bay and finished him off. I just felt like sharing that story. That was my first player kill ever on DayZ, which is wierd considering I have about 350 zombie kills. (I try to avoid confrontation.) TL;DR?: Found bandit, he was 20 yards away, he used his CZ550 while being that close, I killed him with an HE M203 and boolets.

Well, thanks for the answer!

I've read a few things on the DayZ wiki and a few other less reliable sources that there is a crossbow quiver in the game, however I can't find any information on it other than that. Is there actually a crossbow quiver in DayZ?

I've never been killed by someone yet because if I see someone and I don't have a weapon, I get the hell out of there. However, if I do have a weapon I backpedal while aiming it at them so they know what the consequence will be for shooting me :P (I once scared a guy away with a double barrel shotgun which I had no ammo for) I still haven't shot anyone on sight and I've been fine. I still don't trust them, but I'm not a pussy who has to shoot everyone on sight to keep his balls in his sack.

Morbid Stories - Here in this deathly land where no one can walk away from (probably due to broken legs) is where you can all post your morbid tales of your notable deaths! - The entire purpose of this thread should be simple and easy to understand. If you've ever died in a particularly horrible/funny/happy way, post about it here! Notable Death #1 - Gravity's a b****. - First joining the game, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I ran around the area not thinking about my vision level and sound level and ran past about 3 or 4 zeds. As they started to chase me, I figured that the ladder up to a building I saw was my escape ticket. Climbing up to the top, I sat there for a bit, basking in my soon-to-be-crashed euphoria of escaping my near death (which didn't matter, I didn't have any items of worth, anyway). I bandaged myself up, and as I finish, a zed climbs his rotten a** up to me, and I panic. Forgetting that gravity still works, I took a sprint off the building (ok... so what if I messed up trying to go down the ladder and ran off by accident instead?) and broke some bones. Luckily, and unfortunately, the zeds lost track of me. That left me with the only option of crawling my broken way to the nearby town looking for a bandage to fix my newly opened wounds, since I just used my last bandage. The kicker to the story is that I didn't die from loss of blood, a zombie found me just before I died to finish the job. Bad way to go. TL;DR? Cause of Death: Gravity... and idiocy. - Notable Death #2 - Guns are a double edged sword. - My second life, which I had been doing extremely well on (finding 2 canteens, a map, a double barrel shotgun, plenty of food and soda, and finding this all in Cherno without being killed by the sniper who had been aiming at me for 20 minutes), I had found a Lee Enfield in a barn. To be exact, I found THREE Lee Enfields in that barn, with ammo everywhere. I already had a double barrel shotgun but used all the ammo long ago. Hearing all the stories (and memes) regarding how loud the Lee Enfield is, I was hesitant to take it, but I didn't want to be defenseless if someone tried to attack me. I picked up the gun, all the ammo I could carry, and stepped out to find a zed staring me down. I ran the opposite way and it followed me out of the town. I resolved to get a pretty decent distance from the town so that my Lee Enfield would not attract anymore zeds. Once I "thought" I was far enough away, I took the shot. It was like I released the kraken of flesh eating/body decaying/face munching freaks of hell. Almost, and I only say almost because there may have been one zed who didn't, the entire town of zeds turned and sprinted in my direction. To end the story quick, I was mauled. And mauled, and mauled some more. TL;DR? Cause of death: Lee Enfield Go ahead, share your stories!
