The guns have been nerfed pretty badly... This is a post where the dmg of each gun nerfed is listed http://www.reddit.com/r/dayz/comments/x7ek1/weapon_damage_nerfs_in_arma2_162_full_details/ Revolver, M1911: 1389 damage, down from 4500 1389*7=9723 and if this person with the hatchet had just spawned he would have 12000 blood.... Soooooooo he wouldnt have died. End of story
