I want to review weapons for you.

[RainbowDash101 3]

I was inspired by Gews awesome weapon guides to make this thread.

Basically, list off a weapon, and I'll talk about it for a bit. It won't be as detailed as Gews' posts, but I'll try to get across everything important. There wont be any pictures either, but I'll try to make up for that.

Crowbar

MP5. I find it a lot but don't know where it's actually any good

Well, Im playing around with it right now, and heres what I can say:

The zombies will get killed by it in about 5 body shots. The player will get killed in about 12.

This gun has a burst fire mode along with semi auto and full auto. I'd reccomend burst fire if a bandit attacks you from a distance of at least 100 meters, because you will likely get a headshot or break their leg by doing burst fire.

Another thing is this weapon is very accurate, though has little range. I started noticing bullet drop off around 100 meters, which is quite low.

The weapon isn't too loud, but I wouldn't fire it in the middle of a town unless I needed to. The gun has an SD variant, but it wont accept the normal magazine, so you'll be lucky to find ammo for it.

In conclusion, this weapon is good, but definitely not great. Its a good weapon if your scouting around elektro or cherno, but for everyone else, you should probably just pick up an AK or M4.

Crowbar

Well, the crowbar is definitely a weapon to use if you have absolutely nothing else. It takes 4 hits to the body for a zombie, and god knows how many hits to the body for a player... probably about 12, rendering it pretty much useless. However, if you know how to aim for the head with a melee weapon, then you could probably get used to it.

Hatchet

Very underestimated. A hatchet is always the weapon I use when scouting towns, barns, etc. It kills in one hit for zombies and about two or three with players, but it will take one hit if you're lucky.

Definitely keep this one on you in the tools section at all times.

For rainow dash you are quite fat and Machete.

Same as hatchet.

Double barreled shotgun, because everyone seems to hate it.

[FizzyT 30]

Empty can :D

[svisketyggeren 662]

Empty can :D

this projectile can be thrown about 5-10 meters...damage is minimum or none (not sure), works best as a tool for confusing other players or playing throw and catch with other clan members

I'll have you know i've been knocked unconcious and had my leg broken from an aggressively thrown tin can!

As you would imagine, a MP5 is good in CQB situations that rarely happen in DayZ. I had a shootout in the Stary supermarket, got shot once with an Enfield, but I got him in the head. It's real easy to control, I hit him 5 times in the head with full auto :D

Mmm -terrible conclusion- The MP5 is never a good weapon to take, infact it is comparable to a crowbar. If you have the slightest ping spike the MP5 will easily take 2-3 clips to kill a survivor. Terrible gun in any way possible Id take a pistol over it.

This forum member is insane and thinks he can review weapons...it is adviced to walk in the opposite direction if seen ingame or pretend to be a bush

Roadflares

Many underestimate the true power of the flare, but their weak minds may not be able to comprehend its true power. Although there is no official damage rating, its damage is reportedly too high to measure in blood. I've killed everything from rabbits(can't ever hit the damned things), to pissed off hackers. The catch is, only a blessed few can master its true potential. And unfortunately for the Lee Enfield sniper at the Elektro hospital, I'm of those elite few. So I heed you warning, never cross me. For they will find you with your eye sockets scalded and your body covered with apple butter.
