I think they need a different sniper like a Remington model 700

The Remington 700 is 7.62x51mm and holds 5 rounds. The Mosin-Nagant holds 5 rounds, and is 7.62x54mmR, which is a good deal larger. 

 

The R700 is also very popular, even in Europe. If the R700 irks you so much then you must hate the soon-to-come SVD which is still 7.62x54mmR, but is semi-automatic.

I want hand grenades. As an extremely rare spawn of course.

I also realised just now that the more different guns there are, the harder it will be to find the right ammo, the right magazines for a particular weapon and so on, and I kinda like that.

Amazing how I haven't thought of that until now..

The Remington 700 is 7.62x51mm

It comes in a multitude of calibers actually.

5.56mm X 45mm (.223 Remington)

7.62mm X 51mm (.308 Winchester)

not sure what this one is in metric (.300 Winchester Magnum)

7.62mm X 63mm (30-06 Springfield)

6.9mm X 64mm (.270 Winchester also my favorite caliber as it is flat shooting and virtually no drop out to 400 yards)

6.2mm X 52mm (.243 Winchester)

and a few others i think.

They probably won't add alot of different ammo types - Indeed, the Nagant 1895 was passed off as "Not likely" becuase it uses a unique cartridge - because they want to save on loot spawns. So you'll see 12 Gauge shottys, 9mm Parabellums, 9mm Makarov, ect.

 

 

Here are two rifles that I've become very keen on, these are both Czech rifles and fire the soviet 7.62*39mm rounds:

VZ 52/57

VZ 58

They are basically like very superior versions of the SKS and the AKM respectively. Have a look into them, they are both really interesting and underappreciated rifles. They are considerably more accurate than their soviet counterparts and the VZ 58 (known as the Czech AK) has a rate of fire 200 rpm greater than the AK. The VZ 52/57 particularly looks really nice.

I used to suggest these all the time (Vz.58 being my favorite AR, planning to pick one up) but in game they wouldn't be much of an upgrade over the AKM/SKS. Higher RPM with a M43 gun isn't exactly an advantage, and they aren't much more accurate than the Soviet guns (Especially the Vz.52, since the only variant that would be added is the Vz.57, which is less accurate than it's predecessor). The only real difference, performance wise, is quality, and you wouldn't notice that ingame, besides better iron sights.

 

Btw, the Vz.58 was in the mod, where it was exceptional, becuase it mounted either an ACOG or CCO.

Btw op, you may want to remove the M1911 from the poll when you get time.

Don't worry, I plan to next week :)

[General Zod 1114]

This might come in handy. 

Soviet small arms from around 1900 - 1990. Includes experimental prototypes.

Could you elaborate on the idea of adding the Galil variants in the game? Want to know what you think of it.

[Garberro 10]

In game should be more hunting civilian guns, and rifles. Like:

Express Baikal

BAIKAL SILENCIEUX

Saiga IZ-236

Saiga IZ-137 

Winchester  YellowBoy

Henry Rifle

 

And more types of rewolwers.

vote and comment the W1895 thread(s) :)

[alexeistukov 272]

Things I plan for next week:

*Getting most, if not all, the weapons on the list right now added.

*Finally inputting the suggestions of organizations made by several people here

* Giving credit to more people that inspired the weapon

* Create a new list of weapons to be added a the end of the week

*FINALLY putting up the shotgun poll results

These are just some of the features I plan, I will do my best at keeping this community weapons forum alive, but I could use help with the weapon descriptions if anyone is interested :)

I myself do like the IMI Galil because it looks like a heavily modified AK variant rifle, but it has so many unique designs to it. If the United nations is involved in the story, then I do not know if Israel sent soldiers in to help clear the infection. If they are one of the countries then I will be all for adding it. I want to have one of these rifles one day...as well as a Wildey .475 Magnum Semi-Automatic Gas Operated Pistol with the engraving of an American Eagle on the barrel... heh just a dream though.. sorry I trailed off there for a minute. Thank you and God Bless

[Garberro 10]

Other similar weapon is Polish carbine.  

 

Kbs wz.96 Beryl. 5.57

 

 

wz.96 Mini-Beryl 5.57

 

 

And new, in army since 2014r full modular combat system:

 

MSBS 5.57 Radon

You know what's getting old?

 

People complaining about how this or that gun wouldn't be in Chernarus because it's not native, wasn't there in real life blah blah fuck off.

 

The more guns the better. I want every and all gun in existence, in all my games. I am fine with saying no to certain guns because you want the devs to put time into other, better guns first.

 

But everyone who keeps saying certain guns shouldn't be in the game because they're not in the FICTIONAL land of Chernarus in real life (oxymoron?) are idiots. And I hate them.

[Garberro 10]

Poland is closer to Russia than Czech, and Polish soliders fight in Kosowo, Bośnia (NATO: IFOR, KFOR).  And remember DayZ is future not past, then all modern guns should be abble... but not ammo.  max 5 bullets on all weapons, and full magazine should be like mercy.

 

But M107, AS50, G36 and others this type of guns is nonsens. Not real, killing immersion. G36 shold be not able but AK12, AN-94 yes.

 

I want to see guns like Carl Gustaf M63. Kodiak 1886 45-70, Hunting Mauser K98 kal.308 Win, Luger Navy 1906.

Most modern guns hold more than 5 rounds...

The only real exceptions to that are hunting rifles or productions of pre-existing models, and a few revolvers that hold 5 rounds. I'm assuming by modern you mean essentially 2000-present.

How about the suppressed M134 in Rome: Total War?

Hold more than 5 bullet ok, but where you find ammo to magazines after half year, shoting day after day (when nobody make ammo)... (world in dayz look like this time i more than half year)

Considering the massive and sudden depopulation and the sheer amount of ammunition in circulation, I don't think ammunition would be a problem for a very long time. Sure, you have to find it, but considering how often I actually have to shoot in this game, the ammunition I currently have in real life would take me through to old age.

[Garberro 10]

No its not, in first day/months 4/5 of ammunition will gone... why?   Because all f... humans will shot, tons of ammo day by day... and no one will make new, sometimes shoter die before shot's 30 times from his M4 and you will find his gun whit 5 bullets.    In WWII Germans lose all ammo when invades Poland and need one year to make new... to invade France. Just use logic.

Doubtful. I think you underestimate just how much ammo exists in the world. If that many rounds were fired, there wouldn't be any zombies left.

I garentee there are more G36s in russia than AK-12s, which weren't adopted, btw.

An-94 isn't much more common.
