    I love the Mini-14 but how common would it really be in Chernarus?

    I don't like the idea of over-standardizing ammo. I heard somewhere that someone wanted to make every 7.62 gun take the same ammo, despite there being 4 common 7.62 calibers (7.62x25, 7.62x39, 7.62x51 NATO, 7.62x54R). It's just unrealistic, and IIRC the ArmA II engine uses the cartridge itself for damage/ballistics, not the gun (unless this was changed for DayZ). So with every gun using the same generic "7.62mm" ammo, you'd have a Mosin doing the same damage as an AKM (which doesn't make any sense). I think an abundance of ammo types wouldn't be a problem if the loot drop was coded to encourage guns to spawn with some of their appropriate ammo. For a while in DayZ standalone I had an M4 and 100 rounds of 7.62x54R, and couldn't find any 5.56 for ages. Kept finding more and more M4s and 7.62 rounds, but no ammo for the gun I actually had. Military weapons like this ought to only spawn in military bases alongside loaded magazines or big ammo boxes, while civilian weapons in more generic calibers (like 12 gauge shotguns) would have their ammo scattered throughout houses. Are there any police stations in DayZ? What kind of weaponry would Chernarus PD use? It'd be cool to see their standard loadout (whatever that may be) spawn in police station armories. Maybe a Glock 17 could be their standard sidearm.

    Regardless of which military forces used what, I think the Tokarev and CZ52 are such iconic and prolific guns that it'd be frustrating if they never made it into the game. I'd be more than happy to model and texture some of the guns listed here if the DayZ team will take them (Harry can probably vouch for my ability).

    Well I'll be damned. I wonder how they manage to stuff 15 rounds into that size pistol. A USP .45 is around the same size and it only holds 12, right?

    I think the Tokarev and CZ52 should be high priority - they're common guns for the region, and they fire the same 7.62x25 cartridge. Plus they're cool as hell. In my opinion the FNX45 doesn't even make sense being in the game, and I'm pretty sure the mag capacity is wrong (never heard of a .45 ACP handgun holding 15 rounds; maybe 12-13 at most). Also, IMO the IZH18 is a must-have; very common Russian single-shot rifle. Perfect common civilian gun.

    That would be fantastic, actually... being able to craft zipguns (assuming proper guns are really rare, and the bits required to make a zipgun are less rare)
