Can we have more weapons plox?

[james2464 3]

There are so many more weapons like the G36 etc.

Could we see some of these in the future?

[RachetSmurf 2]

I think they're trying to add weapons that would be reasonably found on the island. While I guess technically on a military base you might find that weapon.. but then you could find any weapon. They probably don't want to add to many of the really powerful weapons, just a few.

i agree, more weapons would be better with varied power and range, the winchester atm is to powerful and can shoot fairly far (managed to kill some retard that couldnt hit me from behind about 100m away with a shotgun..)

[nicotinkickballovich 0]

I'd say screw all those military weapons and add more reasonable ones. Or even modify the existing ones. Like the crossbow bolts should come in stacks of at least 3 instead of just one bolt per slot, then that surely would be one of my favorite weapon choices. Also add weapons like the TT handgun and other older weapons like that. There are already too many military weapons we can use.

The more weapons that are added the harder it is to find ammunition for the weapon your wielding, I would love to see more pistols and basic rifles/shotguns though.

the shotguns used slugs 100 meters is not to far with a slug IRL i can accurately shoot my shotgun with slugs out to 200 yards

plus i carry 2 guns with me incase i need to make a long shot 400 meters about ill use the enfield then run like hell since it attracts every zombie and its mother within a mile

Considering that the Winchester is actually a rifle that fires a relatively powerful .44-40 cartridge (they just haven't got around to renaming it yet), I think 100 yards is easily within the lethal range for it.

Rather than adding more military weapons, I'd love to see improvements on the current ones and inclusion of .22 LR rifles and more bolt action rifles (maybe ones with animations, instead of generic 'gun is moving around and making sounds').

That said, this really should be in the suggestions subforum.

Even if the Winchester was a a shotgun, 100 yards is easily doable.

The problem with shotguns firing slugs isn't that they can't be lethal at 250-300 yards, it's that they rarely have a proper sight. They can kill, you just can't aim them well enough.

Back in the old days, hitting anything beyond 50 was a pipe dream, but in these our modern times, someone realized that if you can't rifle the barrel of a shotgun, you can just rifle the slug instead.

As for the .44-40 being the Winny's real-life round, I have to say I don't see much of a reason to change it.

The .44-40 is basically just a .45 ACP round, right? Same velocity, same mass, or just about?

If I'm correct, changing the round would have no effect other than giving it a different name, seeing as the ammo type is currently used exclusively for the Winny.

And if it is changed, the Winny suddenly becomes a useless weapon, 'cus old west lead ball .44-40 rounds don't grow on trees like 12Gauge does, taking away the biggest point in favor of the Winny.

I'd still like them to change the names, maybe even the in-world model of the Winchester's ammo, so that people can finally shut up about 'durp durp 15 round shotgun hurp shouldn't be that accurate durp hurp'.

.44-40 doesn't grow on trees in real life, but neither does the Winchester itself, especially the 1887 model (which is what it used to be like, only with magical ammo capacity).

Sorry for messing up correct grammar at this early hour.

Thanks for not taking advantage.

But you're right, the 1887 shouldn't be that easy to find either, but that wasn't the point.

Fixing this gun-porn problem - and I'll be happy to admit I love gun-porn too - wouldn't be beneficial to gameplay in any way.

All you'd be doing is change a weapon that has a place, into one that nobody will use, 'cus it's crap and the ammo is rare.

Eventually, it should be fixed, sure. But it's about a thousand steps down the line of priority, long after more non-military weapons are added.

Oh, I think you misunderstand. I don't mind the fact that Chernarus somehow has an excess of .44-40 and model 1866 rifles, or revolvers chambered in .45 ACP (which is also a strange, rather uncommon choice for a european area, but I suppose a lot of the weapons are stand-ins for more common varieties).

My only gripe is that they're not named correctly, which leads to much confusion. I don't want the spawn rates to decrease or anything, and I don't expect this particular nomenclature problem to be fixed for a long while, I'd just like to see it fixed at some point.

I wouldn't expect a new bolt-action rifle anytime quick as the 'moving back and forth' of the bolt is very difficult to code i think.

Scorpion

SA58V and variants (to bring some variaty in the AK-series)

RobertHammer weapon packs (some of his weapons)

Or these sexy shotguns:

I'd like to see more pistols and hunting rifles and other civilian weapons. I don't really care where the runs are produced as I don't feel that it really has a distinct european/soviet feel anyway, so I'm fine with weapons from all over people included!
