Some gun suggestions

[Dchil 829]

I like some of what the op is asking for but the super shorty actually holds 2 in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber, making it not much more practical than a double barrel as the game never includes the round in the chamber meaning it is a 2 shot gun, though i would like the option if you have a double barrel and a toolbox for you to saw it down. The striker is too rare and unused by anyone military and most likely not going to be common in the area the game is set, the aug is only really used by the ADF and maybe Austria, none of which are are close to the setting and wouldn't have been used there as they only really came into service after the cold war. Flare gun seems good if it were to be the default spawn gun [it is almost like you wash up from a shipwreck so this seems reasonable to me], the uzi is in origins but it is having a few graphical issues so it seems logical that it could be introduced easily and it was used by many people.

 

As much as i like the idea of a massive calibre revolver i don't think it should be the 500 S&W as they are quite rare and unlikely to be seen outside of america, though a 44 magnum may be more reasonable, either the S&W M29/629 or Ruger Redhawk or Colt Anaconda would seem to be an okay choice, I also think it is in either in DayZero or Overwatch already so it may be easier to be included. The CZ IMO should be already in the mod but not as an automatic, as the semi auto should be fairly common in the area it is set, it is already in origins also.

 

I reckon the OP played a little too much Blackops.

S&W 29 would be cool :)

One thing I always wanted to do is make a double barrel masterkey, sawwed off handle and all, gun mag can be handle.

Then when you break the barrel to load you stick a shell in from each side of the gun.

Grab a piece of wood or something for spacing and a whole lot of duct tape.

Then we could have 12g frags and have a makeshift underbarrel GL :D

Only on the DayZ forum would "flare gun" get the most votes.

I'd just keep it separate, I don't see the point in having a shotgun mounted under a rifle except for the lulz. I mean, seriously, if i were to have an sawn off for door breaching in a zombie apocalypse i would have it separate from my rifle and I would just shoulder the rifle before blowing the lock/hinges with the shotty in my right (i'm a lefty) and my pistol my left leaving me with a weapon in my dominant hand allowing me to clear the immediate area while holstering the shotty. The only reason i would shoulder the rifle though is the fact that my only rifle is a full length bolt action .22 which isn't exactly the easiest thing to manuver indoors and fire rapidly and any pistol I get in an apocalypse is most likely to be a Glock 22 off of a cop [after they become a zed of course] as I don't own any at this time.

 

Though in game is a different story but I don't think it should be a hassle to have 3 weapons on your person in the standalone without having to go into your back pack every time.

I think that a masterkey would be applicable so long as it's not a 'craftable' one, but a rare one that's only available as an attachment to certain weapons.

This actually looks confirmed for the standalone. Looks.

 

 

 

 

I like how it gives a nod to the Kozlice of Operation Flashpoint.

I agree with this, because unless you are an engineer you are most likely not going to be able to build a bracket to handle the recoil of a sawn off, meaning when you try to use it, it will break off. But a dedicated master key is more likely except for the fact that they haven't been used very much recently AFAIK by the military with normal shotguns being used.

 

And to the post above, that is called a Combination gun. It is basically a double barrelled rifle/shotgun with one barrel being a shotgun and the other being chambered for rifle ammo. This, I believe, should be the only exception to what I have been saying as they are quite popular with hunters for the simple reason that if you see a animal far out that you could get cleanly with a rifle but you have a shotgun then you are out of luck (not including slugs here) and if you see a animal, such as a rabbit, that would have the meat ruined if shot with a higher powered rifle or if you find it hard to use a rifle up close and you have a rifle then you are still out of luck. The combination gun, just like its name suggests, combines this allowing you to hunt multiple types of game from multiple ranges, good for if you are hunting for dinner and you are looking for anything that will fit in the freezer. And i only make that exception because i forgot about them when making the above statement.

Seriously, I think guns should be rare enough for cutting up a shotgun to be a bit of a sacrifice.

It's not gonna be like it currently is with every fire station spawning with an AR, every farm a lee Enfield, every house a Makerov.

Besides I would like a Macgyver feel to crafting.

Sorry to go off topic but, where are you getting your information (not doubting it i just want to know) as the DayZdev blog seems to be dead. And that is one beautiful weapon.

I don't like this gun because I have no idea what it is trying to be.

It says hunting rifle but it's breakbarrel and looks like an under over shotgun.

It is a drilling or a combo gun, a rifle/shotgun as outlined in a post above.

Here is the wiki on them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_gun

 

A well known version is the Springfield armory M6

If we're gonna have combo guns I want the LeMat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeMat_Revolver

It was my favourite on Red Dead Redemption but it didn't let you use the shotgun :(

[AP_Norris 1018]

P.S that M6 is ugly

[Dchil 829]

I know but many drillings are actually quite beautiful. The lemat is also a very rare firearm, making it unlikely to be found unless it is in a collection and AFAIK only availible as a reproduction in the USA and isn't sold much elsewhere.

Yeah i have a habit of crushing dreams or ideas with logic, sorry about that.

But still, it is just too rare and most are muzzle loading, which would be impractical from a combat stand point, even against a colt single action army because after you have used the 9 shots and shotgun load it is gonna take ages for you to reload and that guy with the SAA has already emptied his revolver (and i don't mean fanning the hammer old west style but single handed) into you, reloaded and emptied it again by the time you have loaded 9 shots, not including the shotgun load.

Your right :(

[Dchil 829]

Your right :(

As i said before my logic is often right and dream crushing.

Though i wouldn't say no to other black powder weapons as it makes alot of sense from an ammo standpoint as lead is almost everywhere [wheel weights for example] black powder is basically charcoal, saltpeter and sulphur mixed to the right ratios, charcoal can be a by-product of campfires and saltpeter and sulfur can be found in a pharmacy or science lab or supply store but caps are a different story. Though apparently caps can be made [i don't know how] but are found in gunstores and other places where functioning BP guns are used. I'd suggest a Colt walker/1851/1860 but if we go with the architecture in place already where magazines seem (to me) to be a necessity I'd suggest a Remington 1858 with the easily removed cylinders, so you could carry the components for the ammo and cylinders loaded already. You should be able to make paper cartridges as well which is basically a piece of paper containing the powder and the bullet which is then loaded, this makes reloading easier as it all you have to do after making them is insert into the chamber, ram it in and cap the nipple (if you just giggled or are puzzled then you should probably look up "loading a black powder revolver") then fire. Making these cartridges is also the subject of some youtube vids.

[AP_Norris 1018]

I know what a nipple is, it's basically a primer.

I was thinking since saltpeter is a type of nitrate or fertiliser they should have sacks of it loot able from farms.

Maybe a sulphur cave?

The nipple is what the cap goes on, the cap is the primer. I just added the thing in brackets in for those who are uninformed, not for you as I believed you were fairly clued up on firearms.

I saw a thing on reddit that was a revolver with an oil filter on the barrel and a flashlight on the handle.

Obviously an oil filter suppressor wouldn't work on a revolver but its the kind of customisation I would like to see in the SA.

Oil filter suppressor is a 100% American thing. They got the special little threads you can put on the filter and then screw it on the barrel.

I doubt any post soviet guy in a very small village has ordered one of those.
