Spishak 1 Posted March 6, 2013 Why can I sling my rifle and run around shooting a pistol, but I cannot sling my rifle and swing an axe?Certainly would nice to not have to drop a rifle to use a nice quiet axe.Just saying... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Why not sling your axe to swing your rifle?Personally that's the way I would do it. Edited March 6, 2013 by Dancing.Russian.Man 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novogeek 253 Posted March 6, 2013 Ummm ... errr ... wait I know: "magnetic interference from money/credit cards" ... did that help?It is because the Axe is considered a Primary Weapon ... the Devs would be able to answer you why ... and it is just the way the game mechanics are. Life just isn't fair ... I know ... but hey ... at least you can swing your axe and shoot your load ... I mean pistol. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charb 298 Posted March 6, 2013 Probably because not a single rifle in-game has an actual sling on it? pretty sure slings have been suggested a few times and hopefully we see something down the road.I remember when my 3 point sling arrived in the mail and i went to attach it. I was immediately humbled by my inability to figure out how to properly set it up. HURRAY for being a civilian !!! well not quite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjan777 104 Posted March 6, 2013 There is a glitch for that actually, a video recently came up showing how to swing a rifle at a zombie ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted March 6, 2013 Because ARMA 2 doesn't feature mellee weapons. The hatchet is actually a reskinned gun with miniscule range. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
