S&W 500 & fanning the old revolver

[LancerG2 369]

The revolver that we have in DayZ is nothing but weak. Seriously. I suggest one of the most powerful revolvers ever. The S&W 500.

The Smith & Wesson Model 500 is a five-shot, Single action/Double action large caliber revolver produced by Smith and Wesson , firing the .500 Magnum cartridge, a .50 caliber bullet. Made in 2003 this weapon isn't in millitary hands but still is in production and is made for civilian usage.

Introduction and Information

What makes this revolver different should be It's ultra powerful damage, Slower rate of fire and 5 shots. 1 bullet doesn't make a difference as damage compensates for ammo capacity. This weapon can fire the .50 Cal Bullet and cannot be converted into anything else. However with such a handgun it's very uncommon and only a master can handle the true challage of owning this gun. While most of the Czech Republic perfer the Makarov this gun should be very uncommon. Not rare, But uncommon. This applies to the ammunition too.

What makes this weapon different to the ingame revolver is that it's large and fires a bigger round. So Damage should be increased 10000 blood so you need adleast 2 shots to kill. And of you shoot somebody in the leg? Well, They will be begging for morphine. Thus beating the old six shooter's damage of 1389 blood (Pussies gun is weak). This gun would take down a hero with a bulletproof vest easy and it will punch through the vest's kevlar. This will also be anti-car so you have no problems with cars.

Or with the original idea of taking 5 shots to kill at 5000 damage per shot the bleeding would be tremdous. Were talking huge holes here. So it's either one way or the other way.

When firing the .500 It will be a single action thus compensating for the break between shots. I would rather have a delay than going apeshit with the revolver and missing with your target completly after the first shot. On hip firing the animation will show a quick jolt of recoil. Aiming down the sights will control the recoil. You cannot fan with this revolver unlike the older revolver (You wouldn't want to).

The normal revolver will be single action. Upon hip firing the revolver plays the Fanning animation. This is when you get your hand and while pointing the revolver at your target lower your other hand basically puts force on the hammer. So the old revolver can be fired faster if you don't aim.

The verdict and conclusion.

Upsides with the S&W .500

- High Damage

- Double action

- Kills in 2 shots.

- Can break legs if shot directly in bone

- Ooh! Shiney!

- Garanteed head explosion if aimed at head!

Downsides with the S&W .500

- BOOM! I think I'm deaf guys. :c

- Heavy recoil

- Sort of rare with the gun and ammunition

- Muzzle flare is really easy to spot at nighttime

- 5 shots in the chamber? Aww.

Overall the S&W 500 is one BIG revolver. This gun has -1 less round but damage compensates for the loss of a bullet, this revolver is also very loud and it kicks like a mule and it's rarity makes it a sought after handgun. Wether you need a gun for interrogation, a backup gun for a sniper, solving problems or just looking cool this gun is the perfect sidearm for a revolver fan.

fucking stupid

how the fuck does a weapon that shoots .50 cal bullets take 3 shots to kill somebody

and how could you even find the gun and ammo for this thing in rural southeastern europe

1. I said it takes 2 shots.

2. You need to read the topic properly and Improve your grammar and spelling.

3. I said the weapon and ammo was rare for a good reason, And how come you can find all these other guns in south east europe?

4. I think you're fucking stupid, No check that. Retarded.

5. Stupid uneducated troll. Leave. No, lets take it a step further. Leave the forums, you'll do some good elsewhere. (Lies, you're a waste of human reasource).

That or a Desert Eagle lol But to be honest that is a one shot instant kill dude, you get shot anywhere and is a wrap. Maybe to make it game friendly it could be 2 shot but each shout take at least half your heath maybe knocking you out unconscious for a short while.

Now to spawn this guns there should be some mafia/ganster safehouses somewhere scattered around the map where it might or might not spawn. Now would be the tits if this like all guns could be able to take customization like put a scope, reddot, laser, flashlight or some trucknutts on it lol

Some fuzzy leopard grips haha

Would be a good item, although the its ammo rarity, loudness and muzzle flash (at night) would make it a trophy item rather than a practical weapon. Not to mention you can blow your finger off.

Okay. I might give it a buff, But this is a pistol dude. Not the FAL bro. XD

It would be fun to see but I wouldn't want to see it. :lol:

-not to be found in Eastern Europe or other "Chernarusy" places

-suitable for stopping bears, not so much people

-doesn't fit my view of "realistic" or as Rocket prefers "authentic" weapons choices

Speaking from an IRL perspective I think this would blow right through a man and perhaps a couple people behind him as well. I'd rather have a revolver which weighed less, had far less recoil and was still effective. I don't think a revolver can be much more effective than a .357 with a 125-gr hollowpoint. If I recall correctly the Texas Rangers weren't even pleased with the (perceived) stopping power of their .45 autos compared to their old .357 wheelguns, which was partly why they went to .357 SIG, and .45 is generally held in high esteem.

I do like attempting to mod weapons like this just for fun and messing around in the editor, though. :thumbsup:

Though think of those pesky heroes and their bulletproof vests. I would really want a gun that chews though heroes. Not to mention a gun like this would be great anti-car. Not anti chopper but more anti-Gaz, Anti-Ural, etc blah blah rainbow dash looks sexy (Jokes) etc etc.

7.62x25mm Tokarev, can penetrate vests with protection levels less than NIJ-IIIA.

When the .500 Magnum first came out a few years back, the "Violence Policy Ccenter" (read "Gun Control Group") termed it the "Vest Buster" under the assumption it would be used by criminals to punch through police vests...

Some company jumped on the opportunity and produced a new vest, which they had tested to be capable of defeating the .500 S&W. The vest's protection level? Equivalent to NIJ-IIIA.

Doesn't need to be a big boy to zip through armour. :lol:

play breaking point mod .357 magnum, browning HP, USP, silenced 1911, Mk22, tec9 plus a shit load more that i've not found yet i think there are close to 100 extra pistols

[Sutinen 635]

Add it. 2 body shots to kill sound about right. Powerful sidearm, but you loud.

But aren't all those weapons from the RH weapon packs? I'm pretty sure they are.

i believe they are breaking point uses a lot of ACE stuff...?

- Garanteed head explosion if aimed at head!

YES YES YES AND YES. Did I also mention YES

[terminal_boy 860]

I think these should be really common and modelled accurately. By this I mean:

- Stupidly loud, so much so that I can fire my trust Lee Enfield in safety as ever Z for 5 miles will be running towards the sound of this "Why yes, my genitalia is smaller than average, how did you guess?" pistol.

- Very inaccurate because the shooter is going to flinch like Michael J. Fox getting Tazered just thinking about the recoil.

- Very slow follow up shots as the shooter will be picking it up off the floor (possibly along with teeth and fingers) after each shot unless they have the grip strength of a champion free climber.

You had it at 5000 damage per shot earlier and then changed it.

The RH weapon mod isn't from ace (but I'm pretty sure they were designed to go together) but it is a standalone mod pack made by MR, Robert hammer. Well I think that's his name. Edited April 8, 2013 by burritoman259

[enforcer1975 1111]

Why do people always want to least practical weaponry in a game, must be because they never have their RL drawbacks? I mean wtf they would throw that thing away after beeing in a shootout and get a practical combat pistol in case they survive the encounter.

i think they were designed in unison as the sound pack is updated with these weapons. Have you tried BP?

It doesn't matter that I changed it. Chump. Now go click the little red "X" at the top right corner of your screen.

Hey were trying to make this weapon good here. I want this gun for its practical uses. Lets try not to make it to shitty than the lee-Enfield.

[-Gews- 7443]

I want this gun for its practical uses.

I would argue its practical uses include gathering publicity for S&W, allowing people to boast they've got "le biggest pistol" and perhaps stopping a charging grizzly. :lol:

Out of interest though, if this were to be included in ArmA (with the 8-3/4-in barrel) it would do anywhere from 7,500 to 9,100 damage (resisting temptation to make over 9000 comment).

I was looking at it, may give it ago when I have some free time.

Anything major in BP?
