SVD Camouflage vs M40A3 Camouflage.

[-Gews- 7443]

They fire different rounds actually. 7.62x51 NATO and 7.62x54mm 7N1. I m not sure how thee damage differs

Same unfortunately, ideally it should be somewhat different.

Range------7.62x51mm M118LR----------7.62x54mmR 7N14----------

0------------------800 / 3630 J------------------830 / 3380 J--------------

200---------------685 / 2660 J------------------695 / 2370 J--------------

400---------------580 / 1910 J------------------574 / 1610 J--------------

600---------------485 / 1330 J------------------468 / 1070 J--------------

800---------------405 / 930 J--------------------383 / 720 J---------------

The M118LR has much superior ballistics and the bullet is 15% heavier. As well, it's an OTM with a hollow space in the tip.

On the other hand the 7N14 is armor-piercing. I've heard it said that is has a lead "knocker" in the base, or a steel knocker in the nose, yadda yadda, to destabilize the projectile and cause more severe wounds... looking at the sectioned bullet that sounds like bullshit to me. It has a steel core in front of a lead base with a small air pocket in the front.

easiest zeroing, 10 bullets p/ magazine ( less inventory ) good from 100 to 700 mtrs, semi-auto and cool design . Sadly as ( I think ) almost all know that arma 2 is not super-real , right ? arma 2 mod ace has svd with range changer or whatever to shot always at top arrow also weight on the game doesnt count and if you know about svd it has holes to minimize recoil

either way getting hit by .30cal is going to ruin your day :D

Svd camo for me.

i have to say neither

personally the VSS Vintorez beats almoast all the other snipers while it lacks in accuracy at extreme range you can still hit anything with in a 500m radius fairly eaisly and the integrated silencer provides far better camoflague than fancy cloth tassles in a game like dayz. but this may be specific to EPOC servers not sure if it spawns in vanilla.
