Blondedash 403 Posted March 20, 2013 plastic guns guns that break easily but are easier to find but break after a while. metal guns are rare and hard to find but can last longer meaning more shots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leviski 2152 Posted March 20, 2013 Once I read that a few tech guys used a 3D printer to print out a AR-15 from printer plastic, needless to say it shot 3 shots ten the receiver broke.No plastic guns do not work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nsane32 5 Posted March 20, 2013 I see what your talking about but it shouldnt be to where your guns break after 5 mags worth of bullets in fact a gun will last extremly long if you clean and maintain it but it would add realism to the game wich is what it strives for 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Azziax 81 Posted March 20, 2013 well, then make it that your gun can get jammed by dirt or so and you have to reload/clean to be able to use it again. Thats more realistic than a 3d printed gun.... (i know they exist, but IMO they are too new for a long infected world as in DayZ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know for a fact that the chinese copies of airsoft guns break even before you use them.And whoever has to print a gun to survive should print a single shot gun and shoot himself.People found guns older than 50 years that were still in use up until today ( even an M16A1 that looked really used ). And i doubt most AKs in that container they showed were actually field stripped and cleaned thoroughly in the decades they were used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very Ape 748 Posted March 20, 2013 I hope they provide players with NATO weapons (a rarity, hopefully), but integrate weapon durability in such a way that will reflect the toughness of the AK47. Less experienced survivors would probably opt for the AK, whereas highly militarized groups would surely stockpile on NATO weaponry. I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Azziax 81 Posted March 20, 2013 Weapon durability shouldnt even come into play earlier than 10.000 shots minimum, yet still in my opinion it should be affected by dirt etc. An M4 that fired 60.000 rounds in sandstorm conditions had 882 stoppages of which 863 were minor ones and fixable in under 10 seconds.meaning that only 1,438% of your rounds should misfire (again: under sandstorm conditions) probably you wont have any issues at all under normal conditions.Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_carbine#Performance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raged 187 Posted March 20, 2013 I wonder how many Chernarusians actually own 3D-printers/ have computer modeling knowledge xD? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even a weapons expert said he wants an AK if society collapses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
