jsanchez1230 1 Posted December 20, 2013 Is it just me or does the silencer on the M4 not silence anything at all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruzi 0 Posted December 20, 2013 The silencer will only work if you have the SD type of ammo, which I don't believe is implemented yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swordfish (DayZ) 23 Posted December 20, 2013 I haven't come across any SD ammo too. I don't believe it's in game yet like the other guy said. No point in having a silencer without any SD ammo unless you just like the aesthetics of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jsanchez1230 1 Posted December 20, 2013 So you would need the SD ammo what a drag the silencer should be able to silence regular ammo a bit just like it does in real life haha 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FroztyReaper 46 Posted December 20, 2013 The silencer function alittle from what ive noticed. Not to much though. Just takes the loudest crack of the shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alleycat 135 Posted December 20, 2013 If the game is still modeled after arma2, then the suppressor only masks the gunshot but not the supersonic crack, because you cant mask that, in real life if your bullet flies faster than sound, it will cause a crack.

overdosed (DayZ) 77 Posted December 20, 2013 I just tested it. It doesnt really do anything yet. Just looks cool on my M4 with acog, flashlight and 40 round magazines(or clips, whatever i dont really care so dont correct me). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OfficerRaymond 2064 Posted December 20, 2013 One of the features I really hoped the would have fixed in the Standalone.............. *sigh*. A suppressor suppresses both regualr and sub-sonic ammo. Hopefully this will be changed otherwise I'll be really disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jaycat 10 Posted December 20, 2013 Is there even a silencer yet? all I've found are suppressors, which as people have mentioned arn't supposed to completely silence your gun anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SalamanderAnder (DayZ) 1747 Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) Actually, subsonic 5.56 is basically useless. It hardly has any penetrating power, and at 200m with even a slight breeze, the bullet will yaw. Also, the recoil isn't even powerful enough to cycle the bolt. The purpose of a suppressor is to conceal the shooter's location, not to silence a gunshot completely. Hearing a supersonic crack means nothing if you don't hear the point of origin of the shot. But I'm pretty sure the attachment does not work currently, whatsoever. Others who have done comparisons notice no difference in the sound of the shot. I had similar results. I think it just hasn't been implemented yet. Edited December 21, 2013 by SalamanderAnder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
