The Community's List of Suggested Weapons for Dayz Standalone (Version: 1.29)

[loudless 2]

personaly i think that it would be nice to see more guns that law enforcement use, A-91, OTs-14 Groza, OTs-02 Kiparis , AS Val/Vintorez, 9A-91, PP-19 Bizon, PP-19 KEDR, KS-23, Saiga-12, Stechkin APS and RG-6.

[sgtpotatoes@gmail.com 30]

I'd like the DayZ equivalent of vendor trash guns in civilian areas, especially farmland.

Old dinged-up service revolvers, heirloom shotguns that have been sitting in a barn, and the saddest old corroded guns you've ever seen.  They could fall apart after three rounds, be completely non-functional, or disintegrate in your hand.  Guns that were produced in a long-gone local gunsmith that don't even have names.  If Chernarus is going to be as severe an environment as I hope, a broken gun with wooden bullets is still useful.  I guess we could also melt them down if we had to, as well.

Here's my suggestions:

 

Chu Ke Nu: The Chu Ke Nu Repeating Crossbow is a standard Chinese medieval recurved crossbow that carries a magazine of multiple arrows (between 3-5 arrows) that can draw back the string, load an arrow and fire it in a single movement of a lever, allowing one shot to be fired at a rapid rate of up to 1-2 seconds between shots. The crossbow bolts can pack a serious punch and the weapon is completely silent, making it an ideal stealth close quarters weapon. It is also relatively easy to aim at a short range as well.

 

X26: The X26 is a handheld "pistol" configuration tazer. It fires a single cartridge that launches two prongs attached to the weapon via wires that lodge into the target's clothing or skin and deliver a strong electrical charge through the completed circuit, incapacitating the target and causing them to experience involuntary and painful muscle spasms, upon which they collapse to the ground unconscious and are able to be restrained. Not ideal to be shot with if you are wearing a pace maker.

Pattern '53: The Pattern 1853 Enfield rifled musket is a muzzleloading percussion caplock rifle that fires a devastatingly powerful .577 caliber minie ball. It is a single shot rifle that needs to be reloaded via the muzzle, taking roughly 15 seconds to do. It's incredibly powerful (should be able to one hit kill even with armour on, or dismember limbs should that be added) and accurate out to 300 yards easily with adjustable sights. However, the slow reload and large size of the rifle make it very difficult to use in close quarters (though the one hit kill ability makes it a great ambush hold up gun.) It's also incredibly loud and leaves a large smoke report when firing, meaning you will give away your position easily when shooting. The firearm is loaded using paper cartridges - these can be created by combining gunpowder with paper, and then this becomes a one round magazine upon which a Minie Ball is loaded into, before reloading the completed package into the gun. Alternatively, a stone can be loaded into the cartridge as well, but it is less powerful and less accurate than a Minie Ball.

 

Saiga 12K: The Saiga 12K is a semi automatic external magazine fed 12 gauge shotgun. It uses an 8 round box magazine for the rifle and is the king of close quarters combat as a shotgun. It can even dismember limbs if a considerable amount of shot strikes the limb, and the semi automatic action allows for a rapid amount of damage to be inflicted in short order on a target or multiple targets. It can also be loaded with slugs to function as a crude semi automatic rifle, capable of firing out to around 200m.

 

PPSh-41: The PPSh-41 is a WW2 era Soviet submachine gun. It has a devastating rate of fire at 900rpm and can be loaded with 35 round box magazines, or a 71 round drum magazine. It has heavy recoil and is only effective in close quarters, and lacks the ability to be select fire. However, in clearing rooms and buildings, the shower of lead is incredibly devastating to targets. It would be chambered for 7.62x25mm (unless there's a .380 auto variant which I am unaware of.)

 

No. 1 MK III: The No. 1 MK III is a WW1 era British military rifle. It has a very smooth bolt action, and uses a 10 round magazine with adjustable sights by default. It would be chambered for British .303. Alternative sights can be fitted, such as a No. 4 Peep Sight and a telescopic sight for long range shooting, or an open volley sight.

 

High Wall: The Winchester Model 1885 High Wall is a .30-06 modern reproduction of a Western falling block rifle. It only may load one shot at a time, and is incredibly accurate and devastating.

 

Model 625: The Model 625 is a 6 shooting .45ACP revolver. It packs considerable stopping power and a double action mechanism, allowing the user to fire multiple times without manually cocking the action.

 

M79: The M79 is a break action single shot 40mm grenade launcher. It can fire a large buckshot blast, a 40mm HE grenade, smoke grenades or flares and has a range of up to 400m.

 

DPM: The DPM is a WW2 era light machine gun that fires a 7.62x54mmR cartridge from a top fed pan magazine with a steady rate of fire. The machine gun is heavy, and is capable of being fired from the shoulder or from a bipod, delivering accurate suppressive fire at any range.

 

Maxim M1910: The Maxim PM M1910 is a heavy machine gun that fires a 7.62x54mmR cartridge from a belt on a static or mounted position. The machine gun fires at a steady rate of fire, and the water cooler prevents the weapon from overheating and the heavy mounting allows for accurate sustained fire, turning the machine gun into a fearsome static weapon.

 

Satchel Charge: Satchel charges are simple satchels containing a large explosive charge inside. The blast is capable of wide spread demolition (capable of collapsing buildings) and can be detonated via a 30 second timer or a remote device.

 

Power Drill: The power drill is a handheld tool capable of putting holes through flat surfaces, as well as screwing/unscrewing bolts into the surface. Keep hands away from the drill tip during operation. Requires a drill battery to use and various drill bits can be interchanged capable of doing different tasks.

 

Yari: The Yari is a Japanese traditional war spear with a straight blade and a bladed collar. It has a long reach and the considerable weight and length also allows it to be driven into a target with considerable force.

 

Kris: The Kris is an iron dagger with a zig zagging blade forged with alternations of laminations of iron and nickelous iron. It is used with a stabbing motion, and the unusual blade pattern allows for a stab that covers a large surface area, causing greater tissue damage. Often believed to also contain spirits that may bring good or bad luck to the user.

These make zero sense. I mean, where on Earth would you ever find one of these in Eastern Europe??? You might find some reproductions here or there but I don't think we should just be throwing in random medieval/renaissance weapons and just calling them replicas in order to justify it.

 

The musket idea is pretty cool with easily crafted ammunition, but it seems like it'd be super worthless. Black powder firearms would likely be less common than even SKS rifles, and that's not to mention that they're far less accurate, less powerful, much louder, and take a very long time to reload even compared to the 7.62x39 IZh-18 rifle, which is a super low tier rifle as is. There's just no real way to make these both realistic and viable at the same time.

 

 

Also, I support the X26 and Lee-Enfield (X26 because of non-lethal weapons and Lee-Enfield because it was a mod classic, although it'd need to be a 7.62x51 version), but neither of them make sense either.

[DURRHUNTER 597]

woot, 100 pages of all weapons ever dreamed of in the world. never would have thought it would come this far! good job Alexei! Keep it up!

[DURRHUNTER 597]

We definitely need some Walther handguns.

P99 or PPK would be awesome.

[sgtpotatoes@gmail.com 30]

All I want is a Makarov PMM.  With one of those 80 round drum magazines.  

[Whyherro123 2283]

Spear: either made from a knife blade or from sharpened and fire-hardened wood

 

The spear is one of the oldest weapons in humanity's arsenal, and in a post-apocalyptic environment like Day Z, an effective multi-purpose tool. From hunting, to self-defense, to fishing, to use as a walking stick, the spear allows you to keep enemies away, while only requiring a minimum of materials to make.

 

Bolas:

 

Another ancient weapon, one that is easy to make and easy to use. When combined with a hand weapon, like a spear, you can hunt even large game animals, like deer or cow, from a safe distance, and bolas can be used to incapacitate a human (or infected) attacker with ease. Essentially, bolas are three (or more) weights bound together with cord that, when thrown at something, extend out to wrap around limbs, binding the legs and arms of the animal. So, you trip up the deer/zombie, then walk up and stab it with the spear. DONE!

Yaris are in common global circulation, both originals and replicas, and Russia did attain many of them through trading with the Japanese in the 19th Century, and also in the early 20th century, and likely acquired some stocks of them during the Russo-Japanese war at the beginning of the 20th Century.

 

The Pattern 1853 is a very common caplock musket across the globe - probably the most popular caplock musket too - and Russia certainly would have come into contact with British stocks of the new Pattern 1853 during the Crimean War, when it was the standard British infantry firearm replacing the P1851 rifled musket in 1855 in the Crimea. Furthermore, it has a muzzle velocity of 430m/s and combined with the heavy weight of the projectile (remember, it is .577 caliber) actually could cause severe wounds that would shatter bones, and generally required to be treated with amputation.

 

The X26 could be argued to have been in stock due to NATO/American intervention in Chernarus (hence the AUG and M4A1 as well) probably as a compliance weapon for handling of refugees and survivors during the initial outbreak. The US military use them for example as the M26.

 

No.1 MKIII Lee Enfield stocks would have been acquired and captured from Allied forces that fought during the Russian Civil War, and possibly American .30-06 Enfields such as the M1917, or British 7.62 L42A1 stocks. It makes sense though to put them in as a civilian hunting firearm just like the M1911 (which in Russia isn't as popular as TT33 and Makarovs) and honestly just to pay some homage to the mod.

In case they add a Museum building or even just improve castles as tourist attractions (Skalisty Island?) there could (some would argue should*) be more medieval/renaissance melee weapons/replicas. we already got a Longsword and a Mace. Now those are only sidearms so it would make sense to find some types of polearm as well:

• Yari - there are actually quite a few similar European weapons (Spetum, Ranseur, Partisan, Swardstaff)
• Naginata - or better: the Russian version which name I forgot
• Bardiche - used in Russian units
• Halberd - those things are everywhere (both Europe and East Asia)
• Poleaxe - the shorter version for fighting in armor
• Spear - simple, quite boring but very practical
• Pike - the probably most underrepresented melee weapon in video games

You're really not going to be finding any authentic yaris in a post-soviet Eastern European satellite state, though. Sure, some of them may still be around from then, but my point is that they'd mostly be in the hands of museums or collectors and only exist in marginal amounts, not enough to justify having them in the game. The flanged mace and sword we have now are acceptable, but if they were really going to do anything else it'd have to be something like a Saber or Konchar, as those were used for a long time in ceremonial purposes. Anything Byzantine/Novgorod/Muscovy related would still make more sense than Japanese weapons, though.

 

There are several reproductions, and even original Pattern 1853 muskets in circulation, however they're really not common at all on the world stage for practical purposes. The only people you see buying these are firearms collectors and re-enactors, not really people in poorer Eastern states, even among those who do collect large numbers of guns. The simple fact that these muskets existed in a small part of Russia during a small war over 162 years ago is not a good justification for implementing them. You're kidding yourself if you really believe there's any realistic reason for these to appear at all. Not that they wouldn't be cool or interesting, but they're definitely not realistic. (And yes, these muskets are perfectly capable of killing people, and are more accurate than they'd seem. However, they're just generally inferior to modern guns in nearly every way, which is why they really aren't used seriously anymore.)

 

 

I've actually looked into the X26 since I posted that comment, and apparently in the Czech Republic (a heavy influence on Chernarus) X26 tasers are used both by their government, police forces, and even many civilians (the police encourage people who feel vulnerable to carry them, too.) So these are actually perfectly reasonable, and could honestly spawn (pretty much) everywhere and anywhere.

 

As for the Enfields, you'll more likely than not see quite a few in gun stores across even Eastern Europe because of how widespread British control was. However, .303 and .30-06 are probably not planned for future implementation so my comment was based on the 7.62x51/.308 Lee-Enfields that were converted by the Israelis. Those are the only ones that have a chance to be implemented because of calibers, and as I said I have no problem with that because of how they'd be a homage to the mod and all. They (and the Lee-Enfield in general) just aren't among the most common firearms you'd expect to find.

yes a museum or improved castles would be nice to spawn old weapons out of service.let me list some that could spawn in a museum or improved castles.

1-maxim m1910(a water cooled heavy machine gun)

2-musket

3-cannon(maybe a weapon if not decoration)

4-dp 28

5-ppsh 41,ppd-40,pps 43,sunomi kp-30(the sunomi would be a captured weapon that after the war was out on display or some other random story)

6-avs 36

7-falchion

8-morning star

9-flail

10-sheild

11-Thompson m1a1

12-mp 40

13-mp 34

14-mp 18

15-SG 33

16-nagant revolver

17-tt 33

18-scaber

19-cutlass

20-nr-40

There could be aloottt more stuff added here I just added stuff I want. I could have added old grenades, prototype weapons, flamethrowers, and other stuff. You can find tonnnsss of stuff in museums and castles converted into musuems the weapons I listed i thought would be a good ideal spawn in a museum. If I want a muesuem building I would want a larger one somewhere no were near the coast maybe stary sobor, lopatino, sinistock, or some other place.

Last night I was looking at the pictures of the upcoming bear. It struck me we don't have a gun tailored to bear defence. Many guns could work for this purpose, but whether these bears are like the H1Z1 terminators or whether they display more authentic behaviour, either way, when faced with an angry brown bear charging at 35 mph one wants something decisive. We are getting the Winchester Model 70 Alaskan, but it will be a fictional version that fires .308 instead of the belted .375, .338 or .300 Magnums. So not much of an "Alaskan", then.

Hence the Marlin 1895G "Guide Gun" in .45-70. This gun was introduced in 1998 and was immediately popular due to its large bore and compact dimensions. Capacity is 4+1.

The devs could introduce hot ammunition such as HSM's aptly-named "Bear Load" firing a 430-grain bullet at 1,750 ft/s from the 18.5" barrel. This load would have the approximate stats hit = 14.5, airFriction = -0.00182, dealing about 1.5 times as damage as the Mosin at point-blank range. With a 100-meter zero this load would, however, have considerable drop at longer ranges, not to mention substantial recoil.

Being overkill for human targets with a relatively slow, loopy trajectory and fierce recoil with the .45-70+P loads, it would be less practical than many other rifles for PVP. The lack of rail and full-length magazine tube like some of Marlin's other models also helps balance it. Yet for taking down a brown bear at close range with one well-placed shot it would beat any other rifle we have in the game. A couple similar arms using the .45-70 are the Pedersoli 86/71 and the Browning or Chiappa 1886 reproductions. However, these are not quite as short and handy (save for the Chiappa trappers) and none are nearly as popular. A nice thing about the .45-70 is that it also opens up the possibility for Pedersoli/Uberti Sharps reproductions and the Magnum Research BFR.

I really hope that damaging these bears (and other predators) isn't just some health system where it slowly ticks down to 0 based on damage taken, but rather takes into account the actual ballistics. You could potentially unload a 30 rounder in an MP5K into a brown bear at close range and not do jack to it if your shot placement wasn't good, but some games just give large game high health rather than actually representing proper ammunition. Otherwise people will just bring an AKM and spray and pray.

By the way check the date ;)

My real choice for Chernarus bear stopper would be something like these 9.3mms. CZ550 and numerous others would be just fine too.

And I agree with your point Chaingunfighter but kinda doubt this will happen.

Damnit... I should've known something was up when you started suggesting lever action rifles. You did the same thing last year with one of those Lee-Enfield variants!

 

But my point still stands on the bear thing - hopefully there will be real incentives to use larger caliber weapons to take them down rather than just relying on raw capacity alone (I'm sure .308 and 7.62x54R will be fine - we're not dealing with remote Alaskan grizzlies, after all.) Then again, you don't see a whole lot of people hunting with large magazines in ARs and AKs not because it's impractical (in some cases it's overkill but they'd work) but because it's illegal in most places to use certain weapon types and carry more than a specified amount of ammunition depending on what you're hunting. I'm sure if sticking a Beta CMAG on your Bushmaster and walking into the woods looking for prey was legal you'd see far more people doing it.

 

Hell, big game poachers in Africa tend not to bother with elephant rifles anymore, instead just unloading AKs into whatever animal they're hunting and waiting for it to die. (This obviously has nothing to do with the fact that elephant guns cost thousands, not to mention ammunition, and most of your poachers in Africa are parts of poor, rogue militia groups who can't bother to buy guns that would be useless to them for anything but what they're already doing.)

[atempleton 123]

A CZ550 would probably be adequate at bears thought if you brought back the 9.3mm model, and be a nice homage to the mod as well. But honestly, the 7.62x51 is probably going to be more than adequate so long as you hit the target.

Hello everyone, there are a few weapons I would like to see added to DayZ. Here is a list of a few of them. I am sure that some of these have been suggested elsewhere in this thread, but I don't feel like looking through the entire thing to find them. So, here they are:

 

 Melee

Kukri: The kukri is a knife of Nepalese origin. It is characterized by its inwardly curved edge, similar to a machete, and is used as both a tool and as a weapon. The shape and balance of the weapon allows it to be used in combat as a sort of hybrid between a knife and an axe. Although it can perform a thrusting attack it is most effective with chopping, with a kukri once being recorded to have chopped through a person's head and halfway down their chest. They are also very versatile as tools, and can chop wood, skin animals, open cans, dig, build, chop meat and vegetables, and be used for agriculture.

Improvised Tomahawk: The tomahawk is a primitive but effective weapon and tool. It was originally developed and utilized by native American tribes for both combat and utility purposes. It's construction is very simple, only requiring a sharpened stone and a stick (and a rope? Personally I would say no rope so that it can be made without urban loot, but it's up to the devs) to create. Items such as feathers can be added to customize it. In combat it can be used as a standard axe to chop at foes, or it can be thrown from a short range. As a tool it can be used to skin animals, open cans, and chop bushes, but it is not strong enough to chop down a tree.

Modern Tomahawk: The modern tomahawk is a modern adaptation of the ancient native American weapon. It is made from quality metals for a higher durability level. Like the improvised variant, it is useful as a weapon to be swung or thrown at foes, or a tool to skin animals, open cans, and chop kindling.

Shiv: A shiv is a type of improvised knife. Usually fashioned crudely out of a stick, bone, pen, or any other similar item, shivs are common in prisons due to their ease of creation and concealment. It can also be used to some extent as a knife-type tool. However, due to its crudely improvised nature, it has a low durability level and is easily broken.

Improvised Club: A self-explanatory weapon. Improvised clubs are crudely-designed blunt weapons, designed to utilize the wielder's strength to cause blunt trauma and possibly bleeding to foes. It can be modified with barbed wire, nails, or rocks for increased damage.

Trench Knife: The trench knife is a close-combat weapon originally designed for use in trench warfare during World War I. It is very effective as a weapon, being equipped with a standard knife blade and point as well as a knuckle duster integrated into the grip. It can be used for lethal or nonlethal takedowns, and it can also perform any utility purpose a standard knife would.

Bagh Naka: The bagh naka is a unique claw-like weapon of Indian origin. The phrase bagh naka translates to "tiger claw" in Hindi. It consists of four to five claws attached to a crossbar. It would be relatively easy to improvise a bagh naka. It can either be worn on the outside of the knuckles (like brass knuckles), or on the inside of the hand. When worn on the inside it can easily be concealed. In either position it is capable of making quick and vicious attacks, causing heavy bleeding wherever the attack hits.

Bows/Crossbows/Slingshots

Medieval Crossbow: The crossbow is a deadly medieval ranged weapon. It consists of a small metal bow mounted on to a wooden body. It is found most commonly in the abandoned castles of Chernarus.

Pistol Crossbow: The pistol crossbow is a small crossbow. It operates very similarly to the standard crossbow, but it is smaller, meaning that it can fit in one's backpack but cannot accurately hit targets at as great a range.

Improvised Slingshot: The slingshot is a simple yet effective projectile weapon. It is easy to craft, requiring only a stick and a string. It does not deal excessively high damage, but one well-placed shot can potentially knock a target unconscious. The supply of ammunition for this weapon is nearly infinite, as it can easily be foraged from the ground.

Sling: The sling is an ancient but very effective improvised weapon. It is very easy to create with items looted from settlements or materials from the wild. It does not deal high damage, but is capable of knocking targets out with a hit to the head. It can launch projectiles very far compared to the slingshot. Standard ammunition is easy to find on the ground wherever the user finds themself in need. However it can also use special types of ammunition, such as fragmentation grenades and bolas.

Sidearm

Colt Model 1851 Navy: The Colt Model 1851 Navy is an iconic single-action percussion revolver. It originally used .36 caliber ball rounds, but it has several variants wich can utilize a variety of ammunition sizes. It is of American origin and is most often known for its roles in American West folklore and legends. However, it was also used by the militaries of many other countries including the Russian Empire, so it is likely that a few people would have one at their homes as a collector's item or a family heirloom.

Apache Revolver: The Apache Revolver is a very unique weapon. It was designed in Belgium, and was named after Les Apaches, a gang of French street criminals which utilized the weapon often. The original was chambered with 7mm rounds, but a 9mm variant was used by British commandos in World War II. The gun itself has no barrel or sights, giving it a very low effective range. However, it has a built-in knuckle duster and small knife, which can be used by adjusting the weapon. Thus, it can be used for lethal or nonlethal melee attacks, and lethal short-ranged attacks.

Rifle

Mk. 39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle (or Mk. 14 Enhanced Battle Rifle): The Mk. 39 Enhanced Marksman Rifle is a rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm rounds. It is used by American and NATO forces, most often in situations where accurate but rapid long-range fire is required. The weapon was designed to replace the M14-DMR rifle as the US Marine Corps' marksman rifle. It is fed from a 10-round or 20-round box magazine, and can accept a variety of attachments including suppressors, long-range optics, and anything that can attach to a rail. In-game it would most likely be found at helicopter crash sites. If the standard M14 was added into the game, this weapon could be added as an "attachment" (would replace the wooden body but keep the internal parts).

SR-25: The SR-25 is a semi-automatic sniper rifle chambered for 7.62x51mm NATO rounds. It was designed for parts commonality with other rifles used my the United States, and can share many parts with the M16 family of rifles. It is used by US marines and special forces and other NATO forces under the name of Mk 11, or M110 SASS (Semi-Automatic Sniper System). It is capable of delivering rapid and accurate shots at very long ranges. It is fed from a 10-round or 20-round box magazine and is compatible with any attachment which can fit on the rail such as long-range scopes, bipods, sound suppressors, and more.

SA80: The SA80 is a select-fire gas-operated bullpup assault rifle of British origin. It uses 5.56x45mm NATO rounds and is used primarily by British armed forces. There are several variants of this weapon including standard rifle, light support weapon, (with a longer barrel and bipod), and a shortened carbine variant. The factory-default version comes with a SUSAT rifle scope pre-attached, but the scope can be detached to mount other optics. It does not have rails by default, but they can be attached. It would make sense for this rifle to be in-game, as UK Assault vests are found commonly in military bases across Chernarus.

Explosive

M79: The M79 is a break-action grenade launcher of American origin. It is most famous for its usage in the Vietnam War. It can use any ammunition type that can fit in a 40mm shell. There are many varieties of special ammunition for 40mm launchers, but the mosy common is a standard explosive. The barrel and buttstock can also be sawn off to be made more compact, but with reduced range and accuracy. Although it was used mostly by the US, it is possible that military or rebel forces in Chernarus would use this weapon (plus it just fits the game's aesthetic better in my opinion).

RGM-40 Kastet: The RGM-40 is a Russian 40mm grenade launcher weapon. It is the standalone version of the GP-30 grenade launcher attachment. It can use any ammunition type that can fit in a 40mm shell. There are many varieties of special ammunition for 40mm launchers, but the mosy common is a standard explosive. The stock is collapsible, allowing it to be stored easily in a backpack. It was originally designed for use by police with nonlethal rounds, but it is capable if using lethal ammunition as well.

Smoke Grenade: Smoke grenades are a nonlethal thrown device designed to emit white or colored smoke. These devices can emit white smoke for visual cover, or colored smoke for signaling purposes. When activated it will cause an extremely small explosion which can be harmful if a person is too close.

Improvised Grenade: Improvised grenades are lethal explosive devices crafted from materials collected by a survivor. They can be crafted from several different materials including paint cans and propane canisters. These can be just as dangerous as military grenades, but can blow up in the user's face if not assembled correctly.
