I bet you it became the mosin.

DayZ made an opportunity to showcase some rifles that are sensible for the game that other games might overlook because they're too 'boring'.

I disagree. After hitting a pest blackbear for a farmer just missing a lung shot it was bleeding heavily enough to follow through this oat field. Clothing would stop this flow a bit but I don't know if you understand how much something or someone can bleed. You tell me how I could find it in this field without seeing blood. Granted some of it was made easier by blood brushed onto the oats at spots rather than blood only on the ground.

Absolutely you can load them individually without a stripper clip. Here's mine with the bolt locked back. Of course, if you mean I can't load more than one at a time without the magazine into the SVT then yes you're out of luck with the SVT. I don't know why you're talking about stripper clips in that case then.

Indeed you can load them with the very same stripper clip you'd use for a mosin. I do so all the time. You've confused me on the "no direct handloading" part. Do you mean chambering a single round at a time without a magazine? That's extremely easy as the chamber is just a little below that bottom cartridge. It sticks out quite a bit.

I'll forgive you if English isn't your first language. Filtering by region is what I am interested in. You really think I'd be so vain that I would want the only options to be "Server location: North America, All" only? I said "North American only" in the context that I'd want to see only North American servers with a box checked.

I once shot at two people on the coast and the guy infront turned around and shot the second. I've always assumed he believed the second guy botched a backstab. I accidently ruined a temporary friendship.

Consider this one. I'm curious if it was 7.62x39.

Opinion discarded. With a serious tone though, the rifles should not be tailored to balance. In reality, most of your "civilian" rifles are not intermediate either. Go ask someone who has rifles for hunting and not just for fun and he'll tell you he has .243 (intermediate), 7mm, 300win, .308, 30-06... If someone's solely hunting small or medium game they'll have something intermediate, but full sized calibers are much more common.

Quite a lot of assumtions you make. A lot of mouth breathers also tend to create an alias from a zombie apocalypse story too, but I won't get too far into that. It hurts you're rationalizing so much for Dean's early departure. "Oh, they're better off without him anyway." I wouldn't expect a contractor to leave halfway through a job either, people don't start projects to go "Oh hey, in my opinion this one isn't working how I wanted. Time to go do something else.". You got me though, I saw that it was early access when I put 45 minutes worth of work from my credit card to the guys on the project. I appreciated the work gone into the mod and expected to have the same experiences and more on this ambitious new project. It's very true that games take a long time to make, and even longer to make them well. Much of the vocal community has left the game to age, have you noticed how the forums went from at least a page worth of threads to read every time you'd log in to a couple threads for an entire day? It has stagnated. I haven't played the game for a couple months now, not much after my friend came back from his deployment and we'd play the game to have some fun together on his time off. I'm continuing to wait, but there hasn't been enough to entice me to play again yet.

Everyone expected the game to move along at a smooth pace, people who blindly support something are more of an annoyance than those who complain. We can wait, and we've been waiting. We continued to wait through the face of the project abandoning ship and leaving it for everyone else on the project to pick up and go "Oh, thank you Rocket. We appreciate your efforts. Can we rub your back as we pick up the project and move on?" as he did the most selfish thing he could have. A sensible goal could've been to stick with the project at least until it leaves the "Alpher m8" stage. I found that 100% unfuckingacceptable. With that said, I wouldn't utilize any sort of bases.

7.62x39 really is nothing. Maybe it'd be rough for a malnourished manlet, but it's nice enough you could start out on it instead of .22 for shooting.

When I didn't die because I let my guard down, missed the shot, neglected my hunger and thirst, run out of bandages... None of those. Stairs.

Now why should they do that? A suppressor doesn't make a bullet slow down, or make it weigh less. 7.62x39 is very controllable though. so I'm fine with lowering recoil.

I laughed more than I should have. But I totally agree on sighting in a rifle when you first mount a scope on it. I have a neat setup my friends helped me with where I can take it off and then mount it and I keep my zero. For the fancier mounts you should have that advantage if a system for zeroing a scope was implemented.

I'll spin my character around in the inventory screen until he throws up just for fun.

Oh Lordie, if you're stabbed in the chest you're in a world of trouble that a little bandage can't fix.

If that was the case there would be a wall, or a corner of a building, or a tree blocking your view of your character. heh

I really like the idea of the bottom of an exhale being when everyone tries to shoot.

You really threw me off for a minute there. When you're talking specifics, make sure you call magazines magazines and not clips. Here I have my SVT40 with the magazine attached. I can load it with a clip whenever. You're right though, apart from ejecting an unfired cartridge when you'd open the bolt to load more cartridges into the mosin, I'd like to simply be able to top them off too.

That "jiggle" is your body making adjustments without you even thinking about it. You're constantly compensating for the rifle's weight pulling down, your breathing, wind... If you go and point your finger at a spot on the monitor right now you're going to always be pointing at where you want, but your arm will jiggle around as you're trying your hardest to keep it where you want. I disagree with you saying shooting shouldn't be easy. Shooting is very easy, and shooting where you want is no challenging task. Now if we're talking about shooting over a long distance say 300m+ then yes, it is significantly harder. I'm not even talking about anything affecting the shooting other than keeping steady. How it'd properly get put in the game though I really have no clue.

Necklace of ears coming through.

I like the example of the leather holster for a handgun you posted is showing an accidental discharge.

I would like to agree with you but I can't. If player X has a rifle and sees player Y have a rifle, player X will still shoot at player Y. Not simply for having some action in the game, but it will possibly (or likely) end up in having more ammunition than before. That or the knucklehead will shoot anyone anyway without being concerned about the future of the life of that character because "lol yolo".

Depends how short term we're talking. Attacking with a knife or short sharp object isn't represented well ingame for how they're usually used out of game. The average knife attack isn't a couple slashes, they're often a number of stabs once the attacker gets an opening. The victim collapses and bleeds out in a few minutes. I could link a couple Liveleak videos as examples but I'm sure the mods would be a little opposed to that. It usually plays out the same way. Taking a shot to the chest from a blunt object and having damage to your ribs putting pressure (or puncturing) your lungs wouldn't be much better though, or getting hit below the rib cage in the kidneys would be awful too. Really no hits are okay to receive.
