The idea of a random fracture is a horrible idea. You don't want to be moving along and have the game suddenly tell you "Hey, I hope you weren't enjoying yourself, here's a random event to ruin your evening."

Didn't the devs say very early on they wanted to focus more on melee weapons and civilian firearms? Why would people have a problem with having to treat ammunition from a high tier weapon very carefully? I also don't want my mosin chambered in a NATO round of course.

Actually, you don't hold your breath at all. You squeeze at the end of your exhale. What? Have you never fired any rifle before?

As much of a hardon I have for the Vintorez, it had better not be in. You're not finding ammunition for a bunch of these firearms people want.

If people got rained on, they'd just join another server. I really like the weather changing in the game instead of 24/7 clear sky + Day servers. Variety makes the game fun.

I don't think you know what it's like to be on TS with more than three other people. Especially when your guys are telling you all about this really cool can of sardines they found. I have a couple people where we end up being more efficient and effective as a two man team anyway.

I always liked the idea of crows and such to circle in the sky near corpses after a while.

Eventually when vehicles are added I'd like to be able to broadcast long range over FM frequencies. It'd range from endlessly talking about current events, to my stance on gun control to a looping of or .

Mosin-Nagant ...the M91/30 is of fairly poor quality Wrong wrong wrong. A rifle that is poorly cared for is of poor quality. My old 91/30 from 1943 has been through many different hands before mine and they took less care of it than I do. With different suppliers of x54 I can still shoot fairly tight groupings at 300m with irons. Primary & Secondary The idea of having a secondary weapon is mainly to use when your primary goes dry and you don’t have time to reload or you are in very tight spaces. However, in DayZ, the time it takes for me to reload seems to be quicker than pulling out a secondary. I feel like this really defeats the purpose of the sidearm; after spending the time scrounging for multiple weapons, you don’t feel armed to the teeth, you feel like you have a series of individual weapons that don’t really work together as a system and are not interchangeable as the situation becomes fluid. As long as your primary has a sling and your secondary is holstered or even in a pocket, you drop the primary as fast as possible and take out your secondary ready to shoot with a fresh magazine. The M4A1 would most likely have the sling with it if you were looting it from a military base, while the M91/30 may not for a million reasons if you were looting it from a civilian area. But still, I think faster transitions would add to the game. A sidearm shouldn't be solely used as a backup. Say I'm in very tight areas with my 91/30 that still has its sling and I don't have my five meter long bayonet to stick on it and skewer some guy from across the room. I'm not going to use it at that time even though it's my primary. I'm going to switch to a handgun if possible. I'm not going to cycle through five rounds of my nugget and go "Oh, time to switch to my sidearm instead of throwing in another stripper clip." Reloading The “60” round M4 magazine consists of two 30 round magazines taped together…you would still have to release and reload the magazines. Magazines larger than 30 rounds tend to have feed issues due to spring performance. As far as Mosin reloading goes, the weapon allows you to reload rounds individually. I haven’t used it much in-game but my buddy is telling me it treats everything as a stripper clip of 5. A stripper/charger is not needed for reloading the weapon and it does not have to be in a series of 5 rounds. I would have to actually use it in-game to see what the exact problem is though. The taped magazines need some work, I like the idea of having two taped magazines save one inventory slot as a bonus though. X+1 The weapons with detachable box magazines in the game (M4A1 and FNX45) can carry an extra round. You would load the weapon, cock it, and then place a fresh magazine in. This gives you 30+1 (30 in a full magazine + 1 in the chamber) for the M4 and 15+1 for the FNX45. Can make a difference. I support having one in the chamber with a full magazine.

I want a Mosin ingame. Pretending the Enfield is one just doesn't work. I'll gladly leave my DMR and take a Mosin so I can be the Mosin Bushman.
