Ok, so I think we can all agree that beyond the gear you have on your character, there is really no reason to care whether or not you live or die. When/if base building, or something similar to the tents from the mod appear this problem will only get worse. Ive been thinking...and it doesnt make sense to me that every random survivor that shows up on the coast just needs to find a 800m scope and all of a sudden they are a proficient sniper. I doubt most people even know how to sight a scope in, never mind hit a moving target from a standing position with a rifle they just found in some house. I think there needs to be some limitation, perhaps limiting accuracy, or reload times, or even how steady your rifle sits when you first handle a weapon. Considering only one book in the SA has any use, more books could be created to "teach" your toon how to do these things. I know there are a lot of people who think "I am so awesome at shooting! Why u make guns bad? Artificial difficulty!", but I believe that building your character up to be a proficient sniper, or mechanic, or whatever, is far more immersive and adds value to your characters life. No longer would your 1 way ticket to the coast be a mild inconvenience that only slows down your killing spree. Instead it might have actual meaning. This could be used for other things as well, such as cleaning animals(when hunting is introduced), or with the weapon cleaning kits(how many new survivors actually know how to clean a weapon properly). I know most people dont want this "anti-game" to become like skyrim or the like, with skill trees and such(I dont either), but being able to fire and reload a mosin(without stripper clips!) in less then 5 seconds with no training? While under fire? I just dont see that happening. Whats more, is I think that these books, or training manuals or whatever, should be exceedingly rare. As it stands now I think Chernarus has a few too many spetsnaz members running around. Of course, I would also like to almost never find ammunition in this game, so maybe my ideas only appeal to a minority of forum goers.

What book is useful in this game ? I searched a bunch but got too bored to see if any did anything . But this would be a good idea for semi auto military snipers (ones with lots of recoil and meant for extreme ranges )when they come into play but right now people don't wanna learn to shoot civilian rifles , new players find it hard enough to find the guns haha .
