DayZ headshot -53k possible?

[Zedertone 378]

So me and a friend were assaulting a base, and my friend paddy got flanked, and shot in the head by a M14 from 336m, he lost -53k BLOOD.. Is this even possible? 1 shot, m14, 336m -53k blood gone.. 

We aren't the only ones who's complained about this guy, so is this even possible? Or does he need to be checked out?

Ignore how it says 3 thousand meters, it's 300.

First of all: It's -539,000.

And yes - it is very possible. You should see the figures when someone blows you up with a satchelcharge.

1 shot, m14 from 336m it wasnt a satchel nor any explosion.

And yeah I see now, I didn't pay much attention to it.

I was the one that was killed, issue is there claiming that they put a full 2 clips in to me but I was killed from a headshot...>_>

[Statik (DayZ) 2695]

Yes. Very possible.

[Zedertone 378]

Yes. Very possible.

It was actually 500k, but oh well.

[Dagwood 680]

Is that because there is a damage multiplier with the headshot?

If so, this guy must feel like a real boss being accused of hacking because he kills everyone with head shots.

[kingochaos 131]

Yes. Very possible.

 Really? seems excessive to me... -20k -30k sure... -500,000 blood from a 7.62? Ive never seen that myself, been head shot enough times by dmr's and m14s.

[terra_young@hotmail.com 12]

He is a good player but that shot questions him as a legit player or not. :/

I think an M14 headshot should usually do somewhere from 17,000-20,000 blood but I haven't tested it. If he did dump two magazines into you it would put your health at a six-figure negative value.

So find an M14 and shoot your mate in the head repeatedly and see if you can reproduce the results. M14 does 8k damage unless the mod you're playing has altered it.

It's Epoch and unless it is radically changed by the owner of the server the M14 does 8000 blood more or less. There shouldn't be a damage drop off at that range and it was a headshot. An 889 pistol shot to the head of a zombie kills them dead every time. Since zombies have 4000 life we know a headshot does at least 4.5 times damage, which would be at least 36,000 damage for an M14 to the head... AT LEAST. Seems likely to me if your friend was low on health.

AFAIK the head is like a module, you don't need to destroy the entire player, just the head, like blowing up a car by destroying the engine instead of shooting at the hull.

His death blood was -539,733 not 53,000... that is suss as! even if it wasnt from the 3000+ meters the server seems to think it was.

What was the server?  Some servers have modified damages.  Also headshots do a LOT of blood dmg.

[kingochaos 131]

I gotta ask, where are these affirmitive responses coming from? Its five times the damage o an AS50... last time i checked, vehicles didnt blow up one shot with a 7.62, sure the head as a module is much easier to destroy, it does seem to have a damage multiplyer on it, but i have never seen over about 30k from one(to the body it was 8k for a 7.62... even with satchels, having a few million damage, but thats spread over the blast radius, i havnt seen this sort o blood loss.) So in these servers with the adjusted damages,i take it you can take a .303, and level buildings?

[Karmaterror 982]

If the server got it wrong on distance.....is it maybe possible it did a x10 on the damage numbers aswell. Like it was ment to be 50k....but that turned into 500k?? like the distance turned from 300 to 3000 Maybe was just having its time of the month.
