DevilDog (DayZ) 455 Posted January 8, 2014 So just another thing I have noticed about the M4 today. The bipod can attach to the 'regular' hand guards but not the flashlight. If you look at both attachments they have the same attachment system that would attach to any picatinny rail system. There are rail attachments you can connect to the 'regular' hand guards to allow these to attach to it, but if one can then both can. I am not a game coder but this can't be too tough to fix. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
irl-calibre 744 Posted January 8, 2014 Gotta agree it was the same in the mod, dunno why they proper handguards are as rare as hens teeth given the abundance of weapon lights you find. think more people would play at night if it was easier to attach the light, or even duct tape it on..

TedZ 424 Posted January 8, 2014 Yeah, i've got this problem too it's really buggy, picked up a m4a1 with a flashlight, put on bipod, later i took flashlight off and bipod to switch it to another gun and they would go on I wish it could be fixed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCalyx 78 Posted January 8, 2014 Pretty sure you have to get a M4 Handguard Rail and attatch the Flashlight to it and here's an M4 without the altered Handguard with a Bipod :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copgun 2 Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Does the flashlight attachment even work? Everytime I get it it never works, prestige condition with a battery and everything. Edited January 8, 2014 by Copgun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DevilDog (DayZ) 455 Posted January 8, 2014 Pretty sure you have to get a M4 Handguard Rail and attatch the Flashlight to it and here's an M4 without the altered Handguard with a Bipod :) Very nice. You see that piece attached to the hand guard? They make small picatinny rail sections that do that. Then you attach the bipod to it. BUT the flashlight can attach to that rail as well, because the attachment system is the exact same. I actually said this in the OP"There are rail attachments you can connect to the 'regular' hand guards to allow these to attach to it, but if one can then both can."

wartzilla 182 Posted January 8, 2014 I agree that the dedicated weapon light should only fit the RIS, but it should be possible to 'craft' a weapon light by using the light you spawn with and a roll of duct tape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funky_mish 75 Posted January 8, 2014 I thought duct tape was in the game for exactly this sort of thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soulfirez 901 Posted January 8, 2014 will the flash light go on the fnx ?? honestly cant say i have tried it i only ask because i just watched the video of Dean Rocket Hall doing a stream video at night and they get attacked and killed but he has an fnx with the red dot scope on it and well it has a torch on the gun aswell...(well it seemed to be the fnx and it definately had torch light coming from it???)

flygamer1 176 Posted January 8, 2014 you need RIS handguard to attach the flashlight, bipod don't require RIS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kingochaos 131 Posted January 8, 2014 Maybe the bipod is one o those flash ones that has the duel rail and sling swivel mounting systems :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soulfirez 901 Posted January 8, 2014 hmm not the video i was looking for but in this video you clearly see a flash light on the pistol its the video prior to release maybe it was changed??http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O6VAyq8GQY#t=0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
