New Sniper Rifles

[declan223@gmail.com 271]

So, the AS50 is gone. Why not add an even more rare and unlikely gun to fill it's place. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, the AX50:

No, seriously I present to you the KSVK.

50,000ish Damage (Could be nerfed)

5 Round Bolt action

It's Russian

PSO Scope (Which are harder to use)

Max Range of 1,000 Metre

Oh, and it eats up your back pack slot

No semi-auto, only 5 rounds, extremely loud, no ranging, no mil-dots most are used to. But it absolutely destroys everything (sort of).

Really good balance IMO.

Personally I'd be fine with the KSVK as a replacement to the now-deceased M107/AS50.

[Statik (DayZ) 2695]

I. Fucking. Hate. The. KSVK.

Just give me a fucking Lapua already. Kthxbye.

[Death_Dealer 3155]

The Lapua is pretty much a bolt-action AS50. The rounds are a little less powerful but they're still devastating.

Features an easy-to-use scope, zeroing up to 1,200+ meters, and has a zoom feature. Takes almost no skill to use.

If you're taking shots from an extreme distance, trust me, it takes skill. I actually personally believe without guns like the AS50, M107, Lapua, and KSVK, DayZ will actually shine. People talk about how R4ZOR is catering to "cry babies" and maybe he is. But I don't feel the KSVK has a place in DayZ. It's a 27lbs gun (without the optic).

If people want DayZ to stay real, the biggest, baddest gun (long rifle) should be the M24.

P.S. If you learn the mid-dots on the KSVK it's the same as any other anti-material rifle.

Was thinking the same thing. The Lapua is the new AS50.

[triage 117]

The Lapua should never be implemented into the chernarus map. If you have every played arma AO. The lapua is a British sniper rifle. The British were not deployed in chernarus they were deployed in takistan. If anything it should be put on the takistan map.

[triage 117]

I personally do like the KSVK it's badass

[Statik (DayZ) 2695]

I think, people should not get worked up about the Lapua. The Lapua is a much more respectable weapon to use than the AS50.

Yes, but that's in ArmA. This is DayZ, there is no set story to DayZ. As for actually impementing it, I was being sarcastic. I don't feel any rifles of the sort should be put into DayZ,but if one is, it should be the Lapua.

EDIT: Spelling.

Why? Do you think because it's a smaller round, it's instantly weaker on human targets? It will definitely kill you in one shot. And the longest sniper kill in the world was done with a .338 rifle. (L115A3)

I say add the KSVK, gives that one weapon that is indeed, an anti-vehicle weapon. Additionally, I'd love more rifles that are more civilian in nature or obsolete military surplus such as the Mosin Nagant, a Lee Enfield Sniper and a Mauser K98

Well I guess I agree with that

I don't think the as50 should be added either though

Or just M107 because it also eats your backpack slot. The mod have only modded it not to take backpack slot. In vanilla Arma 2 and before AS50 it did take backpack slot because AS50 doesn't take backpack slot in vanilla.

"Snipers" I would like to see:

TRG-42

PSL

SVD

SDVK "Breaker"

Tigr 9.3

M76

Mosin + optics (not WWII PU)

SKS + optics

Myriad hunting rifles.

How about the KSVK replaces the AS50 and the VSS replaces the M107?

[LancerG2 369]

You want a .50 cal? Bro have the MacMillan TAC 50!

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

Honestly, I'd prefer it if inclusion or removal of certain weapons was based on geographical likelyhood instead of "balance".

I'm a big fan of variety, but I don't like the idea that particular weapons have to be added simply to "fill a role".

Also, wasn't the Arctic Warfare Magnum already in DayZ at some point? I seem to remember seeing it once or twice.

It'd be just as lethal as any semi-auto 50 cal.

[declan223@gmail.com 271]

The Lapua does more damage than the M107, which is complete and utter bullshit

I feel like I don't see posts like this enough. I'm really hoping to see mostly civilian weapons (and it seems like that's what happening), and even better, Russian/soviet civilian weapons. It looks like the devs are taking DayZ in that sort of direction, just by looking at the items found in supermarkets in the standalone, and I'm glad.

[-Gews- 7443]

This is a big area which is missing from ArmA altogether... even browsing mods, there are precious little hunting weapons. As far as I know, nobody has even made a Remington 700, never mind Russian / Eastern European civilian guns.

^stuff like that...

[EndEffeKt 87]

We need fewer military grade weapons and especially ammo for these babies. I hope thats what comes in the Standalone, so we can evolve from this military-simulator stuff to a more survival orientated gameplay. If I would find an AK47 I want to look like this: o.O

Not like it is now: "If it has no CCO optics its garbage"

Go all Agent 47 on them now.

[gibonez 3633]

No need for 50 cal in the game.

Atleast make it realistic. The highest caliber you would likely encounter in a rifle in Civilian hands would be something like a big game hunting round like a .300 RUM found in something like a Remington 700.

left-to-right: .308 Win, .30–06, .300 Weatherby, .300 RUM

These are used to take out large game at long range 800m +.

Would be commonly found in a hunting package like so.

[Death_Dealer 3155]

Rocket already stated there will be many more civilian weapons instead of military weapons.

They've already completed a few.
