taxi driver 9 Posted January 21, 2014 Yes, it`s fully loaded. Are "ruined" bullets the reason? And if i combine "pristine" bullets with "ruined" ones, are they all gonne be ruined?the `45 worked with all kinds of ammo. Or is there something else i missed?

dannynickelov 126 Posted January 21, 2014 Yes, you can't use ruined bullets. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Punkrawks 136 Posted January 21, 2014 I wouln't use ruined bullets. It didn't used to matter but it might now. Also, the gun may be broken. If you picked it up off a dead body it's a good possibility. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Batman 75 Posted January 21, 2014 I'm not sure about the magnum, but I know on the FX there is no "Pristine", "Damaged", "Badly Damaged" or "Ruined" display. However, the gun still has effects. Example, if the pistol is "Ruined" it wont fire. Tested the same magazine in different weapons and discovered this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boonie 216 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) If you split the ruined bullets down you end up with 1 ruined and the rest pristine, chuck the ruined one and then combine the pristine ones, et voila. Ruined Ruined Ruined. Edited January 21, 2014 by Boonie 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kernalpanic 35 Posted January 21, 2014 yeah I had the same thing happen with a fnx45 the other day. I guess when you mouse over the item in your inventroy it does not tell you the status on guns yet. I take it that they are damaged? I picked up another and used the same mag and it worked like a charm. (It actually got my buddy killed as we rolled up on some guys and I had my pistol out. As soon as he took some shots at him I took aim and attempted to return fire... all I got was click, click, click. Had to quickly switch to the mosen but by that time it was too late. My buddy had been taken out. Moral of the story: I now test fire all my weapons the first chance I get. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you picked it up off a dead body it's a good possibility.Yes it was from a dead body, do you also know what happens when i combine "ruined" with lets say "worn" or "damaged" bullets. Do they all get the same status? I just got tons of ruined atm. (should have kept my FX., but i love the .357 Python, preferably in black...) EDIT:ok i`ll try what boonie said, thanks Edited January 21, 2014 by taxi driver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tizzle 90 Posted January 21, 2014 Happens to me, sometimes it happens when i eject the rounds from the magnum to reload, then it doesn't fire after. Usually happens with ruined bullets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deity 54 Posted January 21, 2014 Rule of thumb if you get the pistol off a dead body, better not count on it working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plasma (DayZ) 17 Posted January 21, 2014 Rule of thumb if you get the pistol off a dead body, better not count on it working. +1 at least test it before blazing into the firehouse, happy that you sneaked up on two armed guys, aiming down the sites, pulling the trigger.... only to hear "click", "click".. You are dead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twingunz 308 Posted January 21, 2014 good news is that in the experimental build they've added the condition for weapons so we actually know if they're broke now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you picked it up off a dead body it's a good possibility. That's a damn good point. *Makes mental note*: Next time you find a gun, make sure it works before pulling it on someone.

Nihilum 209 Posted January 21, 2014 ruined bullets work currently -- the gun was broken.i've had it happen a couple of times after firefights with both the python and the fnx45. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canned Muffins 82 Posted January 21, 2014 The weapon is ruined. It is a great booby trap to leave for others if you find a ruined one. Leave it in high traffic areas and it fails the moment they need it the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
