Excessive military loot

Recommended Posts

 

 

It was at a crash site.  Not too far from another crash site that had a M24.  Actually, there was something weird about that server - it was on the public hive but there were crash sites everywhere, I think I passed like 7 of them.  

 

 

Probably just means the server hadn't been restarted in a long time. crashsites keep spawning over time.

Adding onto this, caliber is just the diameter of the bullet.  The length, weight, and overall size vary.

 

The two rounds in the above example may have the same bullet diameter, but the bullet size isn't the same and one of them has a larger case than the other.  The "39" and "51" are the length measurements.

 

Take the following image:

The three on the right are effectively the same caliber, they're all considered "30 cal", which is to say 0.3" in diameter. 

(The conversion for inch to mm is 25.4, and you'll note that 0.3 * 25.4 = 7.62)

 

But, you'll notice that those three rounds are very different from one another.

On top of that, the 9mm round on the left is actually the biggest caliber of any of them but has the least amount of powder propelling it.

 

Nice, thanks :)

I went into the barracks the other day and they were full of makarovs!!!

 

However, looking around, I could only find a single bullet.

 

Then I heard a chopper coming.

I found a crash site on Sunday. I was heading towards a string of Deerstands I knew were in the area because I STILL need matches( I have found duplicate maps, binoculars, knives and such but can't find one box of matches). Clear a rise and there in the middle of the field is a bonfire of color in the middle of a rather dark night. I immediately dropped my glow stick and extinguished it. It shouldn't have been visible too far away since I was using blue, but that becomes a high risk away. I did a quick search of the area with binoculars(wish I had Range Finders with their NV mode) but it was too dark to really be sure so I decided to just go for it. 

I was in a more remote area, very few players on at the moment, and there were a lot of zombies so out came the AK and I took them down as I approached the wreck. It was worth it, I got an M14 Aim and DMR mag was well as a Main Rotor and some other sundries. Hear that? Legitamate M14 not one looted from glitched spawns. :)

A main rotor from a crash site? lol

 

If I hadn't found an M14 and other decent items I would have believed it had been looted and someone dropped it there to pick something else up.

Outside of my DMR and an ammo box, a main rotor is the only thing I've found at a crash site since 1.8.

 

/edit:  and the M24 I didn't pick up, in favor of the DMR
