7.62x51 ammo - Useless ammo?

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

Search Berenzino today i found a box of "7.62x51."

My first thought was, new gun!

But nope.

So basically we get a use for shotgun shells, and another useless item is added?

 

Two bright sides to this though. 

1: Probably means theres also 7.62x54 and 7.62x39

2: We now know a NATO Battlerifle or Sniper/DM rifle is upcoming.

 

I really don't see why they couldn't wait till after that gun was added to put it in, though.

That ammo is for a Mosin Nagant, the closest thing to a sniper rifle that is currently in game. Hold on to them and if you're lucky, you will eventually get to use them :thumbsup:
EDIT: Though in real life a Mosin uses 7,62X54

it is the real ammo box the the mosin , no longer the brown placeholder.

The dev team decided that ridiculous amounts of dispersion and faulty copy/pasted Arma 2 ballistics were not bad enough, so they made the Mosin use the incorrect ammo type.

 

It's like they think Rust has a higher PCU because of its lack of authenticity or something. Very bizarre.

Oh come on, it's not like they can not fix it in no time.

Plus there are a lot bigger fish to fry, then mess with ammo boxes.

 

Edit: I hope you guys filed bug report for it.

I too got my hopes up for a NATO-rifle when I first found this ammo-box :(

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

Isn't it the ammo for the forthcoming SKS?

The SKS uses 7,62x39mm, so no :P

 

The 7,62x51mm is a NATO-round used by the Norwegian army among others. AG3, MG3, HK417, etc

calm down freckers, probably the guy who made the model+description isn't a gun guy himself

I don't think you can call the useless items useless because they may be useless to us but not to the dev team. They put items we cant use as place holders for the future and to cause massive speculation in the forums. (one of those is not true.)

Also if you take the ammo out of the box guys it is definitely ammo for the mosin. I think its just a typo for the box or something like that. I know people said that before but it still seemed some people didn't try to take it out of box to be sure.

Side note, ruined box of ammo still unwraps into pristine rounds ;p

Zon my current life (started fresh after patch) i'm yet to fnd a mosin to use it with.

Seems kinda odd though... it says x51 multiple times in the description.  So its no typo

Maybe if you saw how many posts i've put you'd see i've been playing this game for quiet some time.

I put this here becuase no other section is suitable.

Exactly, it could be fixed in Notepad in 10 seconds, yet they don't.
