Little damage question

[fewwdragon 2]

So last night, I was wondering fairly aimlessly well most south/ south west along the cost. I am still trying to get use to landmarks and navigation. This was a very low population server ~5-6 players. I encountered another players near a gas station after leaving a city. I wave and try to look non threatening. That player starts to sit down and I see another player running up on me I figure I'm screwed so I start to run they both pull their mosins out. and I ready my splitting axe... I turn around and they are aiming at me first shot misses and I charge them I'm ducking and weaving and I actually make it up to one of my attackers and I seem to get a solid hit on the shoulder (sound effects and visual effects) but no blood effects.

 

My question is wouldn't this cause damage at least bleeding? does a splitting axe take a few hits against a person? Zombies it takes ~ two hits. I was hoping to some how make it thru the fight ha ha.

 

Additionally, I am curious  why they handcuffed me after I was shot a few times and crawling only to cap me a second later? Is there some game reason behind that or is it just personality?

 

And you guys are jerks for kos someone in such a low pop sever...(Waaa Waaa;))

Since you seem to be new to DayZ...expect almost every player, and i'm talking about 99.9% of all players to be jerks. They do that because it's a game, even if the rocketgod tells them to roleplay they roleplay assholes...

clothing will take damage and items in clothing will take damage

clothing can provent a bleeding chance when hit/shot

buggy and sometimes doesnt register damage or registers too much

will get better though, eventually

I do and did expect it (kind of at least that first shot scared the crap out of me). But I'm still gonna whine like a baby bout it though :).

So clothes and gear helps stop melee damage, which makes sense. Do civilian clothes stop/slow projectile damage too? (this wouldn't make sense to me)

Don't think so. Unless you have a very thick leather jacket it won't dampen the shock, at least that's how it is IRL. If they wanted to make it as real as possible in the game they have to take that into account. Even if you wear a helmet if you are hit hard enough it will have the potential to knock you out if the not absorbed power is strong enough. A lot of players think just because you have "armor" between you and the hitting item ( bullet, bat, hatchet ) you can just walk away unfazed.
