Winchester Revival Thread

[deus_drone 98]

Yes. That Gun was amazing. I do love the B95 though, that is a sexy weapon.

 

What I want to do is for you to imagine the following.

 

Winchester 1866 in game,

With the new DayZ SA animations of you using the leaver action and feeding the rounds in one at a time.

Mind = Blown

 

 

Just thinking of all the other Civilian guns being in the game is making me wet, maybe a .44 Colt Anaconda.

Maybe another CZ,

Maybe a Over under shotgun,

Pump Action shotgun

Even though there is heaps of weapons to choose from and only maybe another 1 or two that have been confirmed I cannot help but let my imagination run wild with excitement.

 

Is DayZ SA not the game you have been waiting for, for a very very long time?

 

Yes this deserved a thread :P not like I am hating on the game now am I :P

[byrgesen 1341]

It was my favorite weapon in the mod, and i would love to see it in the SA :)
+1 mate.

[Dchil 829]

I suggest a more russian version than the 1866 in the mod.

That thread was me putting out what i think should be in game.

[Etherious 907]

The Winchester was a wonderful one-shot gun. :D Although that was before they patched it. >.> 

[preacherlr 614]

Im fairly certain the winchester is coming back, There was something in the dev tracker about it..

[Deity 54]

I want a level action rifle in this game so badly. I have a 30-30 lever action IRL and it made fall in love with them.

[Rudette 435]

Might not make a lot of sense given the location, but damn it all, I can't say no to a lever action! Too classy.

[BadAsh (DayZ) 1513]

The Winchester would be a highly unrealistic find for this game setting. But since realism regarding the types of gun found in Chernarus is already pretty much out the window, then why not? It is a very nice gun, and better still, it is not a highpowered military sniper rifle. The more civilian guns the better.

 

That Russian lever rifle mentioned by Dchil above would be even better, though. As it would be more probable to find one of those than the Winchester.

Thanks guys I am loving the support!! I too would love the Winchester and I wouldn't say no to the Russian version but I don't want it to be a one or the other decision..... I want both LOL
The Winchester is definitely not native to Chernarus but as you said, who cares ;)

[Judopunch 523]

Hell yes.

Only if we can cock it like this

 

[irishroy 1347]

i added Dchills suggestion to the big summary-suggestthread, too.

 

And chris Torchia told us, that SMGs are in the making.

So even when SMGs will come, the Winchester, too, for sure.

I mean, c'mon. It was in the Mod, so the chance of seeing it here is pretty good.

[okiimatsu 56]

The Winchester had the most satisfying report. A nice solid thump. In the mod, I would gather my pack full of ammo, then coral as many zeds as I could and have a shoot-fest.

[Deathlove 2286]

Id be down with the Winchester.

Iv never heard of the Blaser gun till now its rather a weird gun anyways, Just fancier version of the shotgun if you ask me cause if you miss with both barrels your screwed.

I could see the Winchester being good for tight spots.

[kumando 199]

Please no  that rifle has nothing to do with the russian setting.

[GrappleX 354]

I'd say no to the winchester specificaly, but a 30-30, 44 magnum or even a 45-70 lever action would be awesome. Hell, id even take a 22lr lever action.

Leatherjacket + Cowboy hat + the Winchester. Let me introduce you to the new sheriff :P

[DMentMan 707]

I loved the Winchester but at this point we're at risk of being over-run with western guns.

And what's bad about it..?

 

 

 

 

Nah, srsly.

Seems, like most civilian guns seem to look Western (Shotgun, Blaser, Revolver..)

The only "western gun" currently in the game is the double barrel, and while it was used it is not exactly iconic nor were double barrel shotguns in anyway an American invention/exclusive to America, they were far more popular in Europe, heck my double barrel shotgun was made in Europe.

The cheek piece on the Blaser is thoroughly European, as it should be on a German gun.

 

The izh43 is actually Russian made.

 

So an American lever gun would be the first "western" gun, we are hardly overrun by them.

.357 Colt Python is in the game. Please tell me more how the Winchester is nothing to do with the Russian setting.....

The FNX-45, Colt Python, M4, Blaze 95, and Ruger .22 are all western. I give you that the Ruger is an exceptionally popular weapon worldwide, but as it stands not even half of the weapons are Russian or eastern European.

Context, learn what it is.

 

In this context I am using western to describe the classic American west.

Yes, but please make it use proper ammo this time.

Originally it was chambered in .44 Henry but there is no way in hell you'd find an original 1866 in Russia or anywhere near it so there can only be a modern replica in game, which are made in .38 Special if I am not mistaken, probably other calibers too. Maybe it could use .357 Magnum.

 

 

EDIT: I actually checked Russian online gun stores so now I can tell that carbines of this type are certainly available in Russia and even not very expensive, they cost around $1000 which is not a lot here because weapons generally are expensive in Russia. There are many variations available but my personal favorite is ofcourse the one chambered in .454 Cassul.
