IIRC, FN FAL isn't in use in Eastern Europe. But G3 (especially its variants AK4 and AG-3) is used by some armies and paramilitary units in Eastern Europe.

I guess, that good alternative would be helmet M56 from East Germany, many of them was sold in other countries, some in East Europe, others in countries of third World.

It seems absolutely different kind of game mechanics, imho. I understand if in DayZ would be possible to make temporary barricades, blocking windows by sandbags or boards and blocking the doors by chairs and cupboards. Just for short battle with a competing gang.

Large bullet hole would be this tag. Nearly all of the dead are friendly.

Instead of the bayonet i would prefer the rifle butt melee. Also i want overall lowering speed of running, walking in game and implementing soon the stamina. That give at least a little meaning for vehicles. And the first vehicles may be bicycles and mopeds. Like this "Riga 7"

Maybe something like this..? "МР-80-13Т Pistol of Limited Injury" "One of most popular civil pistols used last decade for self-defence. Preserves main design features of basic model – Makarov pistol and chambers new effective cartridge of traumatic action - cal. .45 Rubber with spherical rubber bullet. Heavier bullet of increased diameter provides for effective stopping effect at distances of self-defence." http://imzcorp.com/en/company/311.html

Like i once wrote, as landmark why not. Doubt about it as a working feature. But yeah, first we need the true mountains. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/147816-cable-car-aerial-tramway-gondola-lift-same-thing-different-names/?p=1558341

I guess, they are already eaten by zeds, as more tasty and slower prey. imho.

Vodka would fit yes. Also pepper vodka. They both might help against cold and so on. And with a similar visual effect like in STALKER. Here was also some suggestions.. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/162621-the-soviet-connection/

Now, if we talk about variety, then there is room even for more variants of the same weapon.... One example Makarov. Common Makarov uses 9x18 makarov ammo. Usual service pistol in Russia, Belarus and some other former USSR countries is MP-71 (IZH-71) , which are identical copy of Makarov, and uses 9x17 (.380) ammo (an ammo which are allowed for private security agencies in those countries and are therefore widely widespread). http://imzcorp.com/en/company/58.html Exist even more "copies" of Makarov - for example Baikal 442-104 uses 9x19 parabellum ammo, are mostly for export. Theoretically all these guns would be fit in Cherno. And if people need to lern, then just this, how to manage weapons, which are almost identical by characteristics, but uses different cartridges. Unfortunately, possibilities of game isn't limitless, and too many small details might be too difficult to implement. There might be also other technical problems too (I do not even have to mention the people's wishes, where the survival aspect is one of the smallest).

DayZ' farm...Goats instead of zeds.

It is very likely that we won't see even people names, who plays on the server. And it would be good, imho..

Here's one Russian guy with a muzzle loading rifle.. And here is site of Muzzle Loaders Associations in Russian Federation (MLARF) http://mlarf.ru/index.php?start=21 Also a thematic forum in Russia about the muzzle loading weapons http://forum.guns.ru/forumtopics/150.html Although Chernarus isn't Russia, i've heard about similar enthusiasts also in Latvia and Ukraine, that's mean in other former USSR countries.

Some books with a surprise..

Because Chernarus+ is an ex-USSR republic, then AK-74 without questions.

I guess that would be reasonable, if time to disappearing of body would be longer indoors. Thats mean, you (or more buddies) take your killed teammate's body on shoulder and carry or drag him into some indoor place. More tactical variety in game would be appreciated. Now what about overall, then we have to wait and look how will affect the game addition of cars , logging out timers and other similar things.

Yes for a carbine (because it is still used in Ukraine and in Russia, by some kind of militarized security services). Also many of them is used under other names (KO-44, KO-38) as hunting rifles.

DayZ' backstory..

That's basic point of DayZ, they want. But, most of them want to find this by own. In current game stage, is this most interesting part of game, why deprive it? Ok, maybe some of them don't like this part of game - find food, medicine etc? Then their game logically flows into boredom.

You can add some suggestions here.. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/162663-how-to-make-the-map-more-engaging/

There is a backstory.. From Steam : Most of the world's population wiped out...Means no hope for the help..

It would be nice if many exterior doors in urban and industrial area would have the door closers (Soviet-style) and the door springs. Although without proper interaction this seems too difficult to be implemented.

I would suggest to implement into DayZ this riflescope (optionally) for SKS, IF some optic sight is needed (I like an open sight on such weapons.). VOMZ Pilad 3,5x20 http://www.opticdevices.ru/product_408.html http://www.vomz.ru/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1&category_id=1&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=8〈=en Here you can read (by using translator) about some problems with a big riflescope. (mostly due problems with loading of the clip and extraction of cartridge, throws them straight up) http://nepropadu.ru/blog/weapon/8056.html

This. He seems to be a very helpful person.

I think that at least four punches for knocking-out of the player would be better. If some unarmed players want to make this faster, then they need to cooperate. It is also possible to put into DayZ some very rare brass knuckles...imho
