Rifle Wraps for all Long Rifles

[DaedalRogue 83]

A rifle wrap for those that don't know, is a cloth or tape covering that goes over a rifle to obscure it's hard lines. Or even the color of the wood used.

 

This is sometime that sniper adopted by snipers and hunters the world over to make it so they blend in better with their environment. During WW2 the russian snipers were known to do this with strips of their uniforms, or torn burlap.

 

 As seen with an example from Enemy at the Gates.

 

While there are also modern examples going anywhere from cloth strands to ghili mesh.

 

 

The basic example I'd like to see is more along the lines of the Burlap sacks wrapped around the rifle after being torn to strips.

 

The method to do this in game could be to have multiple rags from torn clothing, or have the ability to tear up burlap sacks and then just drag those onto the weapon to treat it as an attachment on all long rifles. This will then just apply a new skin on the weapon as if it's been wrapped.

Simple,yet a very good idea,suprised noone mentioned it before.

Yup, burlap should be the ingredient for crafting anything ghillie-related. +wan

I think Rocket said something about camo or something like that.

[hozzdutch 49]

I do like this idea, another use for a torn up t-shirt!

[AP_Norris 1018]

Great idea, I would far prefer this to the current spray paint camo.

It should be done with rags/ burlap sack and rope.

Yes, but camo =/= Wrapped cloth.

Here is the million $ question: What would it achieve in dayz?

 

We already have painting.

Painting =/= Cloth

You could hang things to the cloth.

 

but tell me:

What achieve the Leather Slippers in DayZ?

What achieve the raincoats in colors like yellow and orange?

What achieve the schoolbags?

... the hard hats in bright geen, white and yellow?

..the beanie-hats?

...

 

 

you see? :)

Things don't always need a special purpose, meaning, use.

Some things are just there, and exist.

 

So why not add something different than painting? ;)

Now this is something that fits the theme and not black carbon paints on mosins.

[irishroy 1347]

[AP_Norris 1018]

Should be able to put some rags on M4 stock and grip too.

If Dayz wants to go far. Get the basics down. Then add all the little nuances like this. 

It's there for the people who want it, and you don't have to use it if you don't.

 

It's the little things that count.

Yes great idea, this plus a craftable ghilli suit and a hunting we can go ; )

[santa 10]

Ghillie suit could be made out of fishing nets (could be found on shore) + leaves from forest. Some rope and duct tape = GG.

[irishroy 1347]

BUMP

[StekWAR 4]

fine!

[DaedalRogue 83]

Roy, you're fighting to keep this near the top more than anyone else. It's appreciated.

[irishroy 1347]
