Toggle weapon = cock revolver

[Dchil 829]

The toggle weapon button is only really used on the M4 as of yet (i think) to switch between full auto and semi auto. How about we add to it's functionality by using it to cock the hammer on the revolver. I mean what says "Get the f*ck away" than the sound of a revolver being cocked while it's pointed at you. Also this could increase accuracy a small amount as a single action trigger is often easier to pull(and keep on target) than a double action pull. Similarly this could be used on a Pump action shotgun if we ever get one for a similar effect by pumping it, however this will eject a shell onto the ground which can be picked up.

 

 

Think about it, you are searching a barracks and all you hear behind is the *click* of a gun being cocked followed as you desperately search for supplies. Though it would probably end with your brains all over the floor but an interesting element none the less. Or you see some one running away who has stolen from you, you pull your magnum, cock the hammer and aim the shot carefully. The sound of the shot followed by the body dropping to the ground and you slowly walking up to get your supplies back would make you feel really badass. 

 

EDIT: Just remembered some things. The cocking would slow down the fire rate (therefore balancing the increased accuracy) and pressing the toggle button while it is cocked should lower the hammer, because who runs around with a cocked revolver in their pants. There could have a possibility added that you accidentally let the hammer slip (while decocking only) and the gun goes off, which can happen in real life,

This is what dayZ needs in my opinion.

Any realistic weapon handling elements are needed to make dayZ as expansive and as sandboxy as possible.

i like the idea but with the pump action and bolt action it sould be left click to cock, as it its in red orchestra it works really well and give a great felling of operating the gun

 

plus it is easyer to acsess as you will NEED to do this to fire while with the revolver it is you're choice

 

and this should be aplied to other pistols too

The FNX is an SA/DA IIRC, which means it would have to be decocked first. Not something that is usually done unless it is holstered or you want to just cock it for teh lulz.

 

 

EDIT: if you want really relistic weapon mechanics then look at a steam green light game called Reciever. There are mods for shotguns and such.

Yes, that is great. The double action pull seems to just instantly fire right now, but increased accuracy would be good.

Like the idea, love the idea of a click-clack warning, even though it's mostly for effect.
