The Aquatic Land Walrus

This depends on whether or not a gun has an integrated magazine. For example, the Mosin can fit 5 bullets into its integrated magazine. I forget the name of the rifle that can only load one shot at a time, however. I do agree with you that you should have to press R to chamber another shot.

.58 could fix that. Should be hard to peek over walls now.

I try to join a server via DayZ Launcher (the community one, not official I believe), and I am greeted with "Could not find ARMA 2, Please make sure the path is correct in the App settings" wat do? I've been itching to play more of the mod for ages, but it's being blocked off by this :C

I tried joining that, and all I got was "Wait for host" Hell, every server I tried to join was just a "wait for host" server. Iunno what's up.

Truth be told, I'm not fond of overpoch or epoch, I just want to play on a server that isn't dead empty.

Well, SFRG's suggestion worked. However, if I try to join an epoch/overpoch server, it gives me this message: "Data file too short 'C:/Program Files(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead/@DayZ_Epoch1051/addons/dayz_weapons.pbo Expected 37420111 B got 33097465 B" I have no clue what this problem means, but I can only play the Vanilla or modded versions of vanilla (custom buildings, enhanced spawns etc., nothing major like Overpoch or Epoch.)

world's shittiest combatant award goes to... the guy with the gun!

>inb4 terrorism joke and subsequent ban

Damn, dude. They better call the admin.

Either on Reddit, or in Elektro. Make sure to ask if anyone's friendly, too.

1500's?

only ladies you'll be getting -burn-

I play 3PP because 1PP is just kinda weird. The controls fit a third person game more, especially with the clunky movement system.

First thing I do is put bubble gum in my shells.

You're treating server hoppers like hackers. Having to waste 5 minutes because you left 29 minutes after you joined is fucking ridiculous.

I have a question. What do people see in the Vanilla mod? I like the agency of not having to spend 20 years searching for a helicopter to banzai into Devil's Castle.

Let me throw in my two cents. The DayZ mod provides a much more complete experience, with a strong metagame and much more variability between certain servers, mods etc. The standalone provides a concrete and immersive experience that feels more like survival than the mod, but has a weaker late-game as a response. Instead of finding that illusive chopper, you're left to find clothes, guns and people. All up to you.

the truck is a spy

Used on mosquito bites, and sometimes on papercuts.

What can you say? They trucked you. Oh well. You can use this to DRIVE yourself to do better next time.

It's the best option.

For having your gun out, probably. Common sense. You don't run around a school playground looking like you're gonna punch the shit out of some kid.

Being a sucker for WWII and WWI era American rifles, I'd shit my pants if the M1903 Springfield and the M1 Garand were added. It may seem out of place, but the AK-47 was partially influenced by the M1 (It was technically modified as an M2 at the time, it was full-auto) carbine. If the most popular firearm (And most popular Russian) firearm is influenced by a very popular American model, I don't see why it shouldn't be in the game. Then of course, I don't see why the AK-47 isn't in the game, either. Also,the creator of the AK-47 had tried to create a carbine based off of the M1 Garand model earlier, so it wouldn't be too far off. According to the wiki, the M1 Garand was on the dev wishlist, and I fully agree with whoever put it there. It'd be rather cool to find old StG44's as well, but if any of the aforementioned badass rifles were implemented, I'd gladly drop my AKM for one of them. Maybe it's just bias, because I own and love both of these guns, as well as one of the original M1911 models (Not the A1, the authentic 1911.) There are quite a few other American firearms I'd enjoy seeing in DayZ, but they just seem so unlikely to fit into a Russian environment, like a Tommy gun, or the 1873 Single Action Army Revolver. I love guns FAR too much. Trying to expand my knowledge of firearms made in other countries, but nothing will beat out those two classic firearms (And the m1911, which makes 3) to me. What badass firearms would you like to see implemented?
