Gun additions? Degradation? SA/Mod

[kingbritain 63]

OK, so if DayZ, the mod OR the standalone, were to be more realistic, it would need more guns, ammo, and real-life degradation.

                                                          ========Guns=========

-An SKS, it's the precursor to the AK-47, it's already in SA, but the mod would benefit from it. Uses 7.62x39 millimeter in real life.

-FN SCAR. Already in the mod, but the SA would benefit from it. Altogether a pretty awesome rifle.

-Sig Sauer P226. Nice pistol, really powerful, would probably kill a zed in one shot.

-Harpoon gun. More blood loss over time than initial damage, but it'll stick 'em and they'll eventually bleed to death (unless a buddy bandages them, or they go to a hospital).

-M24. Already in the mod, but in the SA it would help a lot.

-AR-15. Imagine an M4, but scale the ammo down to .223, which is a little less powerful than 5.56 but more common.

-M1 Garand. Imagine a Lee Enfield, but with a bit less powerful (but more common) ammo.

-Remington 870. In the mod, it sucks, so make it better in the SA.

-M249. In the mod, it's great, so PLEASE put in the standalone.

-Desert Eagle. Okay, nobody would use it because it's so loud, but man, it's powerful.

                                                          =====Degradation======

In real life, when you use a gun for a while, the firing pin, retention pins, barrels, and basically every part will get some wear-and-tear after prolonged use. But in the mod, none of this happens. I've been running the same MkII SPR for three or four weeks straight, and it shoots perfect. In the SA, degradation is pretty well simulated, but I don't have the SA. (Rats and rubbish). So maybe add the game files from SA into the mod?

 

Thanks for reading and considering, and I'll catch you all in the field!

A lot of the weapons you have mentioned will never be added as they are trying to go for a former soviet block country setting.

Therefore would not have many of the guns stated in your original post unless there were some left from operation harvest red or something along the lines of that.

Also please explain how these weapons would "help" or "Benefit" the SA?

Well, remember, characters start on the coast, therefore are probably not residents of Chernarus to begin with. Also, I was going on the assumption that they were indeed left over from Harvest Red. They would benefit the game by giving it a wider range of weapons, more guns in the hands of players, giving more variation to each individual encounter.

Anything's possible. Don't judge the Chernarussians, man! Haha

what about my crossbow?

what about my crossbow?

Yeah, I didn't say anything because I think it's already being added. Is it?

i think it would be added in the next patch! :)

They're not gonna add any of the stuff you wanted to the mod. This is because they don't support the mod anymore. The reason they don't support the mod anymore is because standalone's out and they want people to pay for it.

While this may be true, you don't know for sure. I sincerely hope not, because nobody should abandon their roots to move on to greater things. Saying this, you and I don't know. Only rocket and the rest of the devteam knows.

Garand with more common ammo but less damage? This isn't the US dude. And they would do the same damage. Finding a Garand outside of America or Israel is pretty much impossible, and ammo even harder.

The P226 fires 9mm Parabellum. It would do EXACTLY THE SAME damage as other 9mm's ingame.

.223 is 5.56 but they differ in loads. The bullet is exactly the same size and would do the same damage, and they would be interchangeable in an AR. It isn't "Scallee down"

 

There are no Scars in vanilla dayz either and they don't fit the setting At all. 

 

But anyway, i don't think we'll see anymore new guns in the mod, besides maybe some from Arma. Maybe M4SPR as AR-15?

The P226 is actually able to shoot 9 millimeter, 40 S&W, and .45. I will admit, the Garand is a bit outlandish, but it uses 7.62x39 (confirmation?). The Lee Enfield uses .308. Yes, there are no SCARs in vanilla, but the Mk 16 is pretty close. And maybe we won't, but it doesn't hurt to suggest it. If it never happens, then it never happens.

Even so, .45 isn't a one-shotter anymore.

The Garand uses .30-60, which is one of those early 1900s cartridges, original used in the Springfield 1903. Its not to common even in the US, and costs well over 1$ a round usaully.

The Enfield uses .303 british, At least the ones you will find commonly, which is even rarer than 30-60 becuase it wasn't used in a ton of Civilian guns, and any surplus ammo left is unusable after 65 years. (In the US, atleast)

The Mk16 isn't in vanilla, either. Some servers added it, but it's not a legit spawn.

It's called the 30-06 "thirty ought six" and it's very common. It's the go to hunting cartridge for deer and stuff for a lot of people. Maybe even the most popular for deer and other big things, not squirrels or birds. Just because the round is expensive does not mean it is rare. You might still be able to buy milsurp stuff, idk, but I've never been in the market for that because I like well made domestic ammo.

 

Edit: There are enfields that shoot 7.62x51, BUT NOT .308. Ishapore made them. Also, there were some fancy pants enfields made in asia a few years back. I wonder whatever happened to them? I didn't have 1-2k lying around for a super fancy enfield.

All bickering aside, this is just a list of guns that IN MY OPINION would make the game better. Thanks for reading!
