[Steak and Potatoes 13480]

Great work :beans:

[triage 117]

Nice

[Deity 54]

I can't wait for the double barrel and the sks.

[dayzintel 39]

I think I'm most excited to see the chainsaw in-game, it's going to add some really interesting situations and I'm sure some hilarious videos ;)

[Sgt_Slaughter 49]

Explosive Trip wires will make any military installation a total deathfest

[meat pie 632]

Nice list!

[tumek 4]

Great article - I've never been to the site before, I like it. TAKE MY BEANS!

[karbiner 29]

AK-74 is 5.45 :O

[-DMG-Jonesy 226]

The mosin and the SKS use different ammo.  

 

Not all 7.62 is created equal.  

[dayzintel 39]

Thanks for the info :) Updated the post.

[-Gews- 7443]

Sawn-off shotgun has "about 4x the spread of the full length @25m" according to Chris Torchia. They'll have the same damage (according to me).

 

I could have sworn your page said something about 5.45mm last time I read it. I don't think they'd give the AK-74M the wrong ammunition.

[gregor (DayZ) 95]

The AK-74M uses 5.45×39 cartridge.

[-Gews- 7443]

The AK-74M uses 5.45×39 cartridge.

 

Yes.

 

[weedmasta 784]

Would make sense if the regular would be a main weapon and the sawn-off a sidearm that you can store in your inventory. Would be even more awesome if we could put it in the holster.

This is great. Looking forward to the SKS and the improvised bombs.

If the supplies are not in abundance it could work, assuming of course they can be deactivated with pliers and have a decay rate(maybe)

[dayzintel 39]

I believe I've fixed the ammunitions.

 

Ruger - .22

SKS - 7.62 x 39

AK74M - 5.45 x 39

 

It's too late for this madness :)

[Byzan 20]

really like the SKS, actually almost got one IRL last weekend! I have a feeling it will become my go to gin in SA once its in.

[Celt (DayZ) 30]

Don't think a .22 is going to be very effective in terms of damage at 300 meters, or that it can be used to hunt deer (at least, not easily or quickly).

Otherwise, great guide! Thanks

"However, most players I talk to all have the same feelings on one thing. There are not enough ranged weapons."

 

lol fix the goddamn desync and add vehicles thats what most players feel

Where's my pump shotty? I need my pump shotty!!!!

 

 I need to re-live my experiences in 'Nam!! 

[dayzintel 39]

Pretty sure the Remington is in the works, dickflip :) We're just not sure how long we'll have to wait before we see it, so we've elft ti out the post.

 

Was never really a fan of shotguns in the mod, I'm hoping they feel much better in SA, not found an IZH yet :(
