krihelion 175 Posted December 28, 2012 So 3 of my mates and I decided to go killing.We set up look at dam on namalsk, not the airfield side(west i think).We see a group of 4-5 running across towards dam. As soon as they hit the walkway we open fire, 3 M107's spitting death from over a mile away. Dropping 2 of them instantly, the rest keep running for a few seconds, then decide to turn around and fire into the abyss with short to medium range weapons, and would of probably made it if they kept going. Needless to say they did not survive.I personally think this was the stupidest thing possible, what would you done in the situation?PS apparently 3 m107s firing in rapid succession at you is one of the scariest things to ever hear according to the guys on the dam. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabaroony 86 Posted December 28, 2012 Scared, defenseless survivors doing whatever comes to mind to lay down cover fire and run from snipers that are over a mile away? Yeah, totally stupid. You sure showed them. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gravedancer 35 Posted December 28, 2012 There was no good option, either way they were running straight at you or away. Easy shots for any half decent sniper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marvel.Jane 113 Posted December 28, 2012 Scared, defenseless survivors doing whatever comes to mind to lay down cover fire and run from snipers that are over a mile away? Yeah, totally stupid. You sure showed them.More like pussies with med range weapons not being aware of their surroundings, or using any group tactics and thinking there are no snipers in DayZ. Im sure they won't be the last guys to "show them". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blackout14@live.com 51 Posted December 28, 2012 Ive more than easily killed snipers with m4's before at longer ranges. It all depends on skill. If theres 3 M107's vs guys over 1000m away, its not even worth it. The ammunition could be used for self defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shark Eel 9 Posted December 28, 2012 Haha i don't think it was stupid, but would have been epic to see 3 snipers shooting a squad all at the same time :DWhen you know you are going to die, you don't really care about your ammo much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkrooLoose (DayZ) 143 Posted December 28, 2012 More like pussies with med range weapons not being aware of their surroundingsSo players are "pussies" when snipers are camping "over a mile away" and aren't visible to said pussies? Way to go, champ. You win. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PracticalTactical 164 Posted December 28, 2012 Shooting players far out of their range with semi automatic .50 cal sniper rifles. Well done! You sure are expert bandit sniperinos! Gee, I wish I could be like you guys and engage players from ranges that there is no way they could fight back. Sure is pro bandit skills there. I mean, if I were to coordinate an ambush with pistols and hatchets while they funnel through a mountain pass with thick trees, while tracking them silently for several kilometres and taking out several members of their team that fell behind the group silently, I would be nowhere near as pro as you guys with your big guns and big penises!
