Left handed weapons

[Raptor05121 32]

For us southpaws. Because 30% of the world is left-handed meaning $7.65 million of Rocket's income came from left-handed people.

Asian people also play DayZ but its not an Anime.

Heh.

I like the idea of being able to select the handness of your player; it would tie in nicely with a suggestion I made on another topic about adding additional injuries such as broken arms. Breaking your shooting arm would mean having to use your other arm to fire a pistol, and doing so would have quite an effect on your accuracy.

I'm not sure whether the handness of a player would complicate things for the devs in terms of animations though.

LoL Gotta love your logic...920k sold copies..30% of the worlds population are lefthanded and that totally means 30% DayZ copies were bought by lefthanded ppl :D

Theoretically it would mean just that. His logic is just fine.

[onty 109]

''Theoretically'' yes. But if its 30% out of 7billions and you move the same numbers to 900k thats just erm. stupid.

 

Also he already did count what money lefthanded people made for BI. So yeah, stupid.

30% left-handed?

According to Wikipedia (which is fun to quote 'cos it may or may not be accurate), 10 % of men and 8 % women is left-handed.

why?

[IkaikaKekai 1957]

Well if you want hot brass on your cheek every time you shoot lefty that's fine.  Yes they do make left handed guns and conversion kits, but that's a very small minority.  Some things it won't really mater (break action shotgun), but your standard AK/AR15 will eject the brass on the right side.

[irishroy 1347]

Lefthanders, yeee-haw.

AFAIK, da Vinci, Vincent van gogh, genghis khan, Caesar and also Obama are left-handed.

Why not? :D

[gregor (DayZ) 95]

Yep, as heard rumours, IZH 43 (double-barreled shotgun) will come into game. (Though Standalone Wiki describe it as WWII era shotgun, which is nonsense, it was constructed in 1984.)

Also i hope to see in game a rare MP40. It too fit good here and uses 9mm Para ammo. I guess, for lefthanded shoot from it wouldn't be also no problem.

[irishroy 1347]

ou man, the sawn off 2ble barreled shotty :3

[Old_Crow_Whiskey 119]

I can shoot ambi, would it account for that? Do you really want this game to get that technical when there are so many unresolved issues?

[stielhandgranate 480]

A better idea would be to make left handed characters at the customization screen. I shoot my weapons left handed and its not too hard. The M4 has a brass defector for this reason, the AK series of weapons are very easy to use left handed and it would help make an attachment to your character.

The suggestions being made would be implemented much later in the development. Obviously the dev's priority now is fixing the major bugs and getting the core of the game stable.
