-Gews- 7443 Posted January 17, 2014 I did some calculations on the chance of hitting a head or torso with an unmodified, basic Mosin (no attachments). These are the approximate hit probabilities. Headshot, perfect aim 100% = 75 meters 75% = 100 meters 50% = 125 meters 25% = 175 meters Torso, perfect aim 100% = 150 meters 75% = 260 meters 50% = 320 meters 25% = 450 meters 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Judopunch 523 Posted January 17, 2014 There was already a good redit thread on dispersion based on the game files. Your tests are probably inconclusive because we can not see the quality of the gun itself yet and that appears to have a drastic impact on its accuracy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leviski 2152 Posted January 17, 2014 Look at this wanker ^ Gews always has good facts and tests involving guns and trajectories in DayZ ect ect. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your tests are probably inconclusive because we can not see the quality of the gun itself yet and that appears to have a drastic impact on its accuracy. Which is why I added "basic [...] Mosin". I don't yet know how (or if) gun condition affects accuracy. So far I've only seen one accuracy value per weapon, modified by attachments. So far it also seems to correspond to other tests (http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/160401-mosin-test-effect-of-bipod-video/). If there is some hidden accuracy modifiers based on gun condition, I would assume the standard value would be for a pristine weapon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gsp167 95 Posted January 17, 2014 Good stuff to know about, thank you. Ya' got my beans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted January 17, 2014 Than why didnt you include that in the OP? "basic Mosin""approximate" And if you want the full truth, it's technically not even the probabilities of hitting a "head" or a "torso", it's the probabilities of hitting a 0.25 x 0.1825 meter ellipse and a 0.667 x 0.375 meter rectangle. Oh! Forgive me Father, for I have sinned! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add them to the OP, you'd have one really good post. Instead of a post at face value that doesnt offer much in the way of reasoning or evidence. Like there is suddenly a lot more real information in this thread than some guy posting numbers that dont have any backing or methodology. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your tests are probably inconclusive because we can not see the quality of the gun itself yet and that appears to have a drastic impact on its accuracy. There is no indication that guns actually have a "quality".. As far as anyone knows, the only quality of a gun is the quality of the parts you put on it. There would be a really easy way to test this, to be sure. 1. Find a gun2. Find another gun3. Shoot one gun with the other.4. Pick up the gun you shot5. Load gun6. Shoot it. If it shoots, it's not "ruined", which means the gunshot to the gun did nothing, which means there is no "quality" of the gun itself. Also, you can "inspect" weapons, and all of them look the same. There is no visual indication of wear and tear (as there is on clothing, mags, gun parts, etc.)There are quite a few people ASSUMING guns have a hidden "quality" which simply isn't visible.. but as far as we know that's completely speculation and so far we have no reason to believe guns have any hidden qualities we can't see.

Judopunch 523 Posted January 17, 2014 Next time I'll be sure to put everything in. Sometimes I'm lazy.After looking at your work I greatly appreciate the amount of work you did. There are just a lot of people that claim things they dont know anything about. By being detailed and shairing your methods you can help everyone be more educated and distinguish yourself from the drivel! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
