Imafighter 236 Posted August 17, 2013 This is an Ex-Soviet country. They're supposed to be using "Russian" weapons. Not weapons used by the US Military. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustThatEpic 72 Posted August 17, 2013 Keep 'em all in, many people have no problem with that, just seriously cull the numbers. Let me see, a dozen or so military sniper weapons in the Chernarus map area should be sufficient ... across the entire DayZ hive, not per server. That's 12 people with a high powered sniper rifle. For an average server (usually 30 players), nearly half of them would have a high powered sniper rifle? I'd say at least 4 or 5, no more than 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fonebook 126 Posted August 17, 2013 What is it about a zed apocalypse that drives this need for sniper rifles? The CZ550 is all the sniper I will ever need, even the Lee Enfield is a hell of a sniper weapon in the right hands. Currently the DMR, M24, and M14 are extremely deadly, what is the problem exactly?

That's 12 people with a high powered rifle, correct ... out of everyone playing public hive DayZ ... period. Private hives don't count as they usually do what the feck they like. Following suit they would have one per server and even then that would be way more common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigChef 55 Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) I can hit with a DMR out to 500m consistently and 600 often but not 3 rounds in 3 seconds nor will that 7.62 carry the kinetic energy that far down range as is portrayed in DayZ, so I agree it certainly is not realistic and is nearly if not more deadly than the removed 50s because of it's rate of fire, high mag capacity and low recoil. It could use a retooling, however as mentioned,something else will take it's place if removed. Edited August 18, 2013 by BigChef 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bludy 324 Posted August 18, 2013 always about DMR: in a SA setting i don't see the point in having sniper cover at night..dayz mod feels really bound to arma2 and i'm fine with the weapons setting..i'm used to find a M rifle, american stuff..i was fine even with .50 cals..SA should be completely different and a sniper loadout fit for the game's background should be just a scoped AK or, if you are really luck,y some old fashoned russian sniper rifle or a scoped hunting rifle..

mick17 93 Posted August 18, 2013 Damage is not based on 'if it's a sniper rifle'. The DMR (otherwise M1A irl) shoots the same round as the SCAR (not the SCAR S) therefore they should have similar damage. Most sniper rifles (in the US military) are chambered for .308 which is what the M1A shoots. That round is slightly smaller then a Mosin Nagants round. A sniper doesn't need a .50... they need to be accurate. .50s are for extremely looooong distances (mountain to mountain shooting in Afghanistan) or for taking vehicles down. Stop complaining about damage when in real life a single shot to the leg with .308 isn't gonna kill you. (Unless it hits your large artery but even then it takes time to die) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m_mitchell 27 Posted August 19, 2013 In SA with the ability of everything I don't really think there should be any set or specific sniper rifle but rather weapons you modify to make a proficient long range weapon or sniper rifle by salvaging scopes from other weapons or just finding them in military bases. I do still think there should be some rifles with actual scopes but have those to be much rarer. ( And not "rare" like the as50 but rarer like satchels. ) Also taking a shot to the torso shouldn't necessarily kill you in one shot but unless you have a teammate by your side YOU SHOULD DIE. The shot should knock you on your ass while probably disarming you and blood should spill rapidly sending you into shock and unconsciousness. If you had full health then at some point you should be able to stop the bleeding after regaining consciousness but you wouldn't be able to run away immediately. You'd have to stumble a ways but really your going to be messed up for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HazZarD87 166 Posted August 19, 2013 That's 12 people with a high powered sniper rifle. For an average server (usually 30 players), nearly half of them would have a high powered sniper rifle? I'd say at least 4 or 5, no more than 6.The US and other militaries were there in force to intervene in the ongoing civil war. The amount of guns makes perfect sense from that storyline.
