Funny thing is that it sounds like it happened to the guns that used ammo that could be combine glitched... I can confirm that the 1911 and revolver are 3-4 hit kills on Z and others are saying that some shotty's are weaker too, maybe someone should try the m24/DMR/m14 guns. Maybe they tried to fix the ammo combine exploit and broke some other code...

Put your helmet back on and go find the big yellow bus again buddy

So I recently started playing DayZ, started out like most others, finally started getting loot before being killed and then today I finally managed to get some good gear. I made it to Stary Sobor and got a M16A2 with 7 STANAG mags. I had only ever gotten Winchesters up to this point. I was sitting at 2 bandit kills and 1 murder. Now I had fun. I had 7 murders when I was finally killed. I forgot that my mag was low, had just killed some guys buddy. He chased me into a fort (aka castle), I was full of adrenaline. He ran in the room and I shot at him, but I ran out of ammo. I mouse-wheeled down so I reloaded instead of swapping to my sidearm. I had still managed to hit him a few times but he killed me before I could finish him. I had a deep feeling of disappointment, not of QQ I got killed but of damn I goofed and misclicked; now I have to go and grind again. The best stuff I had gotten in my entire playing time was gone. I was truly sad. It is one of the few games that managed to draw a real emotion out of me. Now this rollercoaster of feeling a rush during a firefight, hyped after killing someone, tense when tracking someone/hiding from someone and saddness when dying is plain awesome. I can understand those who QQ, the grind can be annoying (constantly killed by bandits when trying to get even a hatchet) and others way of playing can be very punishing with less reward (I only kill when I must) but to me this high-low ride is fun as hell. So I guess I'm saying, this god-damned game has me addicted
