What battle rifle cartridges are there aside from 7.62 nato ?

I disagree the weapon selection in this game is actually imaginative. They opted to not go the traditional route that 99 percent of games follow. Thus far they haven't settled into the usual shooting game cliche of having whatever hot new obscure weapon in the game. Thus far none of the tradional Scars, no xm8s, no magpul masadas, no ACRs, no Tavors, none of the usual game cliche guns are in dayz. I mean what other game has the gaul to add a cz527 a beautiful rifle that civilian shooters have come to love and it truly is a unique rifle in the market. You can say alot of bad things about dayz but one of them is not that the weapon selection is boring. It would be boring if the firearm roster was the same as 90 percent of shooters out there but thankfully that is not the case.

Yea the ump is a pretty good end game SMG. It has so many qualities that would make it so. It is super controllable , super modular and powerful. Yea people would lose their shit if they added something like a Vector.

I would assume that is coming next. The SVD is going to be added soon and most likely a pkm those 3 weapons along would warrant the 54r right ? Then they could keep adding 54r weapons such as the vepr and other civilian 54r hunting rifles.

I agree is fine. I agree about the mac 10 too its such an iconic smg from the 20th century although there is nothing wrong with the ump either. It is almost crazy to believe that at one point in history you could have bought a .45 caliber machinegun for something like 200 dollars in the US. I wonder if their choice to not add the 9x18 is merely because they have accesss to a wider variety of weapons in the .380 auto caliber ? More western guns in .380.

Yea to alot of us here is a pretty important thing. The devs however appear to still be debating it internally. So maybe they will change it here are some of the devs outlooks on the subject. Recent comment on it Older comment I do agree though adding the .410 would be pretty baller. .410 revolver like the judge would be pretty nice along with something like those break action survival rifle/shotguns that have 2 barrels one for a .410 shotgun and .22lr

If you like survival you should be extremely happy with the weapon list. We have the following outdoorsy/survival weapons in the game thus far. Ruger 10/22 = small game survival rifle Mosin = Budget deer rifle here in the states Sks = Budget hog rifle in the States CZ = .223 hunting bolt action carbine that is super high quality for the price Side by side Shotgun = no need to explain Long horn = Hunting break action pistol Crossbow = Once again a hunting weapon no longer practical against humans Bow and Arrow = Good hunting weapon Remington 870 clone = Hunting pump shotgun Thus far the focus has been on Civilian weapons and that is pretty awesome nice to have a game put a focus on civilian weapons over new tactical operator toys that make all the children drool.

I have no problem finding ammo for any gun at the moment. Adding 1 more caliber does not magically make it hard to find ammo. It is insanely easy to find huge amounts of ammo for any of the guns. The .380 opens the doors for some of the most iconic guns of the 20th century though. Vz 64 Mac11 Walther PPK

Yea you beat me to it.

A popular small handgun round that is available in alot of small conceal carry handguns and some unique machine guns such as the mac11.

From reddit. Also the possible confirmation of the "Makarov" in the form of the Baikal model. The cz will also be chambered in .223

I would be happy with realistic sprint speeds and a weight based max run speed. Fully kitted akm + full inventory of ammo and food well now you run at 5 mph congrats. Fresh spawn well here you can sprint at 12 mph that's about a marathoners pace btw.

This is also another area that should improve over time.

yup you can still run at almost a cars speed for all day. I do notice the heavy breathing though perhaps a Stamina system is coming ?

give them time. Lag, and netcode related hitches are one of the few areas I am absolutely sure the devs will fix eventually.

Never forget.

That's all fine and dandy but that's not what is being visualized in game. I'm game the player has perfect sight alignment no sway and thus the round would go where it's pointed right? No instead it flies in a random direction. I don't think a single soul would complain if what the game visualized to the player was correct.

I think the best word to describe the bad elements in dayz is inconsistency. The bad elements of dayz are usually inconsistent and thus leave the player frustrated because nothing they do can overcome or influence the outcome. Sometimes you aim at a person and the shot flies out just as you expected other times it is off completely. Same thing with the damage model sometimes a point blank shot with a shotgun will kill a player other times the player will shrug it off as if nothing happened.

It really has nothing to do with pixel sizes. It had to do with making ammo harder to find by giving the weapons the correct ammo type. It's about asking the devs to stop the casualisation of dayz and stop catering to the brain dead mass market who will no longer be playing this in 6 months. It's about dayz staying faithful to the mod, the mods focus on realism and stopping the floodgates of tardness from contaminating the game even further.

I'm just curious why the last thread was closed. Nobody was insulting anyone and db's discussion was on topic.

Pretty much Shooting in Arma 2 was really good why screw it up.

Pretty important issue not sure why the last thread was deleted.

South coast spawns did nothing to force people to play in the map. # Procedural spawn or nothing.

Those vids were hilarious. That being said none of those things are remotely comparable to the difficulty of flying a helo.

Yup the guy in the video had a few flying lessons. A regular person would have no idea how to start it up. If they did they would wreck within seconds. This is why it's so silly and unrealistic to have choppers in standalone.
