What is the range/proximity for hearing guns/etc. ?

[CaptRandom (DayZ) 5]

Yesterday I was watching out a window in Electro and out of no where I hear an impact and start bleeding. No bullet pop sound. Move spots and start bandaging, maybe 5-8 seconds after the first one, I get hit again and unconscious. 

 

Do all guns have the pop when your shot at? How far away can you hear each weapon? I know the M4 and Mosin have fairly large hearing radii but what about pistols?

 

The more I think about it the more confused I get. I only heard two impact, both were hits, heard no pops like I was being shot at and there was no one else in the room. I can't figure out if someone got some lucky shots off with a pistol or my DayZ decided to desync so bad someone walked into the building, up two flights of stairs and melee'ed me before my game caught up...

About 500 meters.

 

PS.

 

With cranked up headphones probably more.

 

PPS.

 

And for me gun sounds now feels very buggy.

 

Often I hear m4 like if someone would fire it about 50 meters from me, but when I scout the area people ususally are 200-300 meters from me.

 

Definetly something is wrong with gun sounds in standalone right now comapred to DayZ mod.

500? I watched someone take multiple shots at zombies from closer and heard nothing. Strange...

 

I know sounds are all screwy. I constantly hear random game sounds. Every 15 seconds I think I'm being shot at, chased by a zombie, hearing people eat/drink right behind me. Often with probably no one anywhere close.

 It also seems like bullet impacts often drown out the sound of bullets firing, even at close range. This can easily mislead you as to what direction the bullets are coming from, leaving you open when you try to find cover.
