Nehefer 3 Posted January 3, 2014 Hello all, I have a suggestion for a makeshift silencer that could be added as a craftable item for DayZ. Simply combine an empty water bottle and some duct tape, perhaps even some toilet paper to stuff inside the bottle, to create a one-use silencer for pistols and (if you don't mind breaking the realism streak a little) rifles. The shot while using this improvised silencer could be a little louder than using an actual silencer and add an accuracy penalty. After it's been used, the item itself would still be attached, but with a slightly different model to indicate it's not going to be usable. It would go from pristine to badly damaged with that single shot, and add further accuracy penalties if its not removed. Just a simple suggestion that I think would not be hard at all to implement. Here is an example of one such improvised silencer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHiBH5J2XxQ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slyguy65 499 Posted January 3, 2014 Yes...so much yes.Buuut doesn't it only work for one shot? I remember that movie sniper or shooter or w/e with marky mark he used that method but i thought it only worked per shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chasieboy317 17 Posted January 3, 2014 I agree with you completely. An improvised silencer would be awesome but I don't see myself using it that much on pistols or semi-automatic rifles. If it was a mosin then yes I would seeing as I would only use one shot anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that movie sniper or shooter or w/e with marky mark he used that method but i thought it only worked per shot. Yeah, as I said it would be a one-use item only. And using that movie as a reference for this isn't a great idea. He used a 30-06 rifle in that to achieve a shot that would be impossible with this type of silencer. I think that caliber is too large for a bottle silencer and it would just send pieces of plastic flying everywhere. But then again, if Rocket wants to sacrifice realism for gameplay, then it's all good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Bean 175 Posted January 3, 2014 I'm not very deep into this but I figure this would do nothing remarkable to the sound, but it probably would influence the balistcs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nehefer 3 Posted January 3, 2014 I guess this could be included too, as a hard-to-craft option that allows for more that one use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Man 393 Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) See my thread here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/159648-craft-makeshift-silencers-poll/?hl=silencer The idea has been suggested but I don't see the harm in making more threads. Shows that the community wants this idea to be really looked into more! I know they plan on putting improvised silencers into the game already but we can influence their attributes!

BelMarduk 169 Posted January 3, 2014 ...note the video e47 shows. You would have ZERO use of optics putting an oil filter on (with the 'econo-can adapter' ) and being that a water bottle is about the same diameter...I vote bad idea... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You would have ZERO use of optics putting an oil filter on (with the 'econo-can adapter' ) and being that a water bottle is about the same diameter...I vote bad idea... Not a bad idea. You just wouldn't be using it for super accurate shots. It would be so useful in close quarter combat when dealing with zombies or players. Yeah it sucks not to be able to accurately shoot with it but then again do we really want to overpower an improvised weapon made from trash? Also, the bottle would only block your ironsights. Not your optics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
