DayZ ballistics

[-Gews- 7443]

Yep ;) alright, here are the damages folks.

 

 

 

 

5.56mm = 3555

 

.45 ACP = 4179

 

7.62mm = 8267

 

Shotgun pellets = 3555

 

Shotgun slug = 15125

 

Please note these may or may not correspond to actual blood loss. Just a method of comparing relative to each other.

 

 

 

 

 

Will be updating this later with damage drop-off at range, zeroing and bullet drop figures. Placeholder post!

 

 

 

Also, I have some comments on improving the fidelity of the external ballistics (for example, .45 ACP currently loses too much velocity compared to IRL figures). However that will wait for later! :lol:

 

 

 

 

List of stuff that should be fixed

 

1. Slugs and pellets appear to be fired at around 900 m/s. Impossibly fast. Should be 430-490 m/s for slugs, 365-400 m/s for pellets (buckshot).

 

.2. 45 ACP has an airFriction of -0.0018 (taken from ArmA 3) but the value should actually be about -0.00072.

 

3. Mosin-Nagant has a muzzle velocity of 930 m/s  (same as 5.56mm) but the value should actually be about 850-870 m/s.

Already? :o

 

I did this stuff before I even fired up the game

 

One-track mind ^_^

Revised a couple values, added list of things that could be improved.

Hello there

 

Interesting stuff, keep it coming.

 

Perhaps use spoilers for folk who wish to be involved but dont want to see the detailed figures?
