VuRaL 46 Posted January 8, 2014 I just had my first automatic rifle and took some shots with it, i might have even killed one. I definitely felt the power of gunpowder! But today it came to my face and I had to share it here. Why do i find a M16 instead of an AK47? IMO even today if we try to find a weapon in Russia, I am sure you can find hundreds of AK47 and if you are lucky one or two M16... Aint that weird? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

r4nger 17 Posted January 8, 2014 I would like to see an AK-47 in this game, 7,62 is IMO way better than 5,56 :)))But as everyone says, this is just an alpha. There will be definetly an AK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soulfirez 901 Posted January 8, 2014 yeah its much discussed what weapons will go into the game ( maybe try that thread) but now you have opended this one i agree with you i am sure we can find american weapons in russia but im even more sure we would find russian weapons ( its in checoslavkia sorry for butchering the spelling really i am to lazy to look it up you know what i am trying to say ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fluxley 2228 Posted January 8, 2014 The ak's are coming, they used the M4 first because its the best gun for testing the new attachment system. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
r4nger 17 Posted January 8, 2014 Ya, AK don't have much improvements to implement. Why would Russian upgrade something what is perfect like an AK is :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mutonizer 78 Posted January 8, 2014 You're never in Russia, Russia's in you. That said, all items in DayZ are custom made FOR DayZ, not using previous ARMA models. Give it some time, there will be more item variation.Chernarus is also not Russia, it's an ex-Soviet bloc country like Bulgaria, Czechie, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barrett_killz 229 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Czechoslovakia? LOL.Look at this map from the ArmA 2's official trailer (at the moment where it zooms). It's somewhere near Chechen Republic (which is a part of the Russian Federation). Edited January 8, 2014 by Barrett_killz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GrumpyFragger 67 Posted January 8, 2014 The lack of geografical knowledge from some of you is really depressing, I recommend less new spawn killing at the coast and more geo lessons for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mos1ey 6301 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Well in ArmA 2 singleplayer campaign you played as a Us marine part of a UN intervention mission in a ex soviet country called chernarus. Indeed. Chernarus is its own fictitous country. It's neither in Russia, nor the Czech Republic. Back on topic - like someone else said, the M4 was the best weapon for testing out the new attachment system so that was the first weapon that was completed and the others just aren't ready yet. There was an AK-74 in one of the closed test builds, so I would assume that it will be back a long with a lot of other weapons.

TheCalyx 78 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) DayZ is set in the Czech Republic in the area of Povrly :) Indeed. Chernarus is its own fictitous country. It's neither in Russia, nor the Czech Republic. Edited January 8, 2014 by TheCalyx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Durnit! Send the R&D Team back for more idiot-proofing solutions! :) Joking aside, check the elevation, forestation, overall border lines, etc.For glaring similarities, check just a little east of the NW airfield for the "green lines" both vertical and horizontal. Then have a look in the overall same area on the real life map... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThePieKing 17 Posted January 8, 2014 In a few of the videos they have said they used the M4 first since that gun is one of the most modable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) ( its in checoslavkia sorry for butchering the spelling really i am to lazy to look it up you know what i am trying to say ) Yeah you ment former Czechoslovakia which in 1992 split and formed two countries = Czech republic and Slovakia.EDIT: I see this was beaten to death already,sorry for late post :). Anyway Czech Sa vz.58 firing 7,62x39 (so AK47 round) will hopefully get in SA ! Edited January 8, 2014 by Hombre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Griaumedis 14 Posted January 8, 2014 DayZ is set in the Czech Republic in the area of Povrly :) The map is based on this area of the Czech Republic (or rather its topography). However everything else is fictional. For instance the Czech language uses the latin alphabet, yet all the names of areas (not to mention they don't match the real names) and all the signs are in kirilica.

Pandema 352 Posted January 8, 2014 Chernarus is BASED on an area of the Czech Republic. Not set there, BASED. Chernarus is a fictional ex-soviet state in the fictional Green Sea region. It's reasonable given the story and the language everything is written in that we are in what is/was a part of Russia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
