Do AS50 thermals truly exist??

Recommended Posts

What exactly are you asking?

AS50's with thermal sights are scripted weapons that can be found in DayZ through illegitimate means.

In real life, you could take a real AS50 rifle and attach a real thermal weapon sight to it to create a real AS50 TWS.

They used to be legit in DayZ many moons ago, they were removed as they are over powered as fuck. They exist in Arma 2 Combined Operations too obviously, if you ever play a game of Arma 2 you will notice all the "snipers" grab them first. As Xucphra said, yes, they do exist in real life also.

There, I think I covered all the bases.

If your asking if they exist in real life:

50. calibre anti material rifles exist but they are very rare

A real life thermal sight is real and a very delicate piece of machinery. Its possible a .50 calibre could be rigged up with one but thermal is mainly used on helicopters by the police however I would imagine only special forces would have access to such technology as even night vision isnt carried by every single solider.

So yes, real, but painfully rare

Night vision is carried by most front line soldiers on deployment actually...well in the British Army they are. As for the AS50 TWS if you find one put it on the dead body and hide it...It makes the game too easy and it's fully OP!
