POLL: best/worst guns in the game

[crazywolf5150 17]

What do you think are the best and worst or your favorite and least favorite guns in the game so far? I've tried out every gun in the game at least on zombies. I've found all of the new guns and tested them on zombies, but I found the Sporter 22 and Amphibia S to be extremely weak unless you get a headshot on zombies. They sound quiet and have low recoil, but they still attract zombies to you like flies on poo. Does anybody know how much damage a .22LR round will do to human players? I had a Sporter 22 with 3 magazines, but I had to drop it for an SKS because the SKS does so much more damage (at least to zombies). I do like the new 1911 as it will drop a zombie in one shot. I found the Amphibia S to be a very common gun, but the magazines for it are extremely rare for me, so I never got to find out how many body shots it takes to kill a zombie with one (I'm guessing the same as the Sporter 22) as it would take way too long to chamber a single round into it. Anyway, I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on the various guns in the game since we now have a decent amount of guns available.

I'm a really bad shot since I don't play shooters at all, but I happen to really like the Mosin.  Love the look of it, the sounds it makes, and more practically the common ammo. 

 

The sporter is a really neat gun but doesn't seem so great.

Can I vote for all of them?

 

Edit: You forgot the B95. I was going to vote for that since it's the only gun that feels like a gun. Also, where's the fireaxe?

Sporter is a perfect gun for those of us who want to defend against zombies without being seen as much as a potential threat, therefore making it easier to help people.

 

I once went through 8 speed reloaders trying to hit some jerkoff with a bat in full view within 5 meters. I didn't hit him once; he got away.

The double barreI shotgun suks. I rest my case.

Speed recorders.

 

Also, if you want to defend against zombies and not appear as a threat, don't carry any sort of gun. They're completely useless against zombies since they respawn pre-aggro'd now, so the only use of a gun right now is for killing other players.

:|  I hate touch screens.

 

Anyways, there's some cases when I'm keeping zombies off my friend's back for a few seconds, or when I need to thin out some zombies chasing me, in which fire axes just won't cut it.

 

Edit: holy mother of god worst pun ever.

The M4 in the game is absolutely horrible. It sprays worse than a worn out old muzzle loader!

Not that it would make a difference if you are armed or not, the only difference is what damage you can do to the guy shooting you...KoS is like the seafood diet...i see food i eat it. ( got it? )

That's what happens to an AR when you give it to a russian...he's not going to clean it until ^this happens...then he will throw it away saying bliad amerikanski vintovka.

M4A1- Great rifle irl, bullet hose in DayZ

[ZomboWTF 527]

Is it just me or is the SKS horribly unprecise?

 

targets beyond 300 meters seem impossible to hit, it's spraying left and right almost a whole meter...

 

i read that the sks would be better than the Mosin for targets up to 300 meter, since it's almost as accurate, a 1-shot kill and spammable, but i really don't think so...

 

pristine black SKS and pristine PSU scope btw

 

Right now struggling to find a new Mosin or Blaze...

[iBane 381]

Depends on the application...

[irishroy 1347]

IMO, the Blaze is the best gun.

 

 

Effecitveness and statwise, it's the 2nd worst rifle, I think.

You're right, I forgot the Blaze 95. I added that one to the poll, so anyone can vote for it. As good as the fireaxe is it isn't a gun and this poll is limited to guns. The Blaze looks like a cool gun and I've killed zombies and a human with it before, my only problem is that it only holds two shots and no scope and I like my rifles with more ammo and the ability to attach a scope.

Speed loaders? So you were using the Magnum? Because the shotgun uses slot loaders. It sounds like you were a terrible shot regardless of what gun you were using. The shotgun has saved my life many times against countless zombies (my legs were broken at the time) and at least once against a player who was trying to hit me close range with a Mossin, so I wouldn't say it sucks at all. It's a very good gun if used at close range.

[Ineedscoffee 464]

My vote is easily the blaze for my favorite. While it only holds two rounds, it's devastating stopping power, when shot correctly, will drop a target instantly. Most forget that you can press "T" to toggle both barrels at once. Same with the shotgun. I hit you with both rounds at once, above the waist, your a hurting unit, if not dead.

Not being able to attach a scope is fine. Only people using scopes are wanna be snipers, with a fanboy gleam in their eye, an image of Vasily in their heart. If your going to throw a scope on, it had better be a long range, and you had better not be within 800 meters. As of the current state of the game, scopes on rifles are more of a hinder then boon. Once fixed however, will be a different story.

SKS owns, it packs a punch and can be fired rapidly. 

IZH-43 is at the bottom for only two rounds and being only good in CQC. 

[So Sexy 259]

Its quite pointless discussing this imo, since there are only a handful weapons in game.

I like carrying a sawed off IZH-43 in my backpack as one of my sidearms while I carry an SKS or some other rifle as a primary. It's good to have guns that are good at close range and long or medium range.

The shotgun is fine within two hundred meters. The standard cqc kill range. Just make sure you toggle T so you fire both barrels. Snap loaders help greatly with the low in chamber count. I can unload both rounds into someone, duck back behind a wall, and be reloaded and ready within 10 seconds. Plenty fast enough to get the job done.

The sawn off version however, only has an effective kill range of 20 meters at most. Wouldn't be so quick to take it over a magnum.

AHAHA Sporter is a TERRIBLE gun and im glade im not the only one that thinks so. XD

 

However i think if magpul parts were more common place for the M4A1 i would think ppl would find it a better weapon. I found 2 of the pristine parts i needed for it and its an awesome gun. However FINDING those parts is a pain. I expect the AKM to have similar mixed reactions considering they want to go the M4A1 attacment rout with the gun as stated in earlier developer trackers post.

[The_Monk 320]

The M4 is as useless as tits on a bull, magpull parts or no.

[enforcer1975 1111]

Attachment shouldn't influence the performance of a gun as they do in game. A foregrip should only give you the ablity to use attachments, a flashlight...obvious...foregrip...slightly faster weapon movement...grenade launcher...makes the front end heavier...etc...this crappy gun in pristine condition is bs and i hope he realizes that.

The sporter is actually an amazing weapon in the right hands. Fast firing mag, close to zero recoil, dampened sound, and you may paint it as well.

All within 200 meters. Aim six inches up from the head of your target for 200 to 300, and you've got a silenced killer on your hands. This isn't call of duty. Good shooting requires patience. Dismissing the .22 caliber as terrible is simply misinformed.

The .22 is also one of the more deadly rounds, as it can shatter off after contact, and ricochate around, causing extra trauma.

well then maybe they should get off there asses and tweak the weapon to be as precise as the real gun.
