For all you snipers out their.

[Jayz1331 62]

Im curious to find out what the longest shot possible has been on dayz, that wasn't actually set up.

 

I was playing with my brother last night and shot a guy at 926 yards or meters, not sure what the distance is measured in, but was locked on at 800 setting on my scope with the crosshairs raised above the target, the guy was crouched and was their long enough for me to male 3 shots with the 3rd killing him.

 

I have managed a get 1 shot kills above 700m/yards on moving zombies but im just wondering what you guys have done, would it be possible to shoot 1500/2000m/yards on a set up kill?

 

 

ideas?

[Katana67 2907]

Longest I've got in the mod (haven't ever had a need for a sniper rifle in Standalone) was 800m.

 

I think hyper-long-range shots should be possible, but not sure it's worth the effort/detriment right now in moving the fog back or allowing players to dictate their own draw distance.

[TheHuntsMan87 194]

800M for me to think iv badly injured someone on dayz mod from touching the 900M mark

[anothercynicalbrit 166]

I think the maximum view/rendering distance on this game is 1000 yards so i don't think anyone is going to be shooting past that unless they are extremely lucky. My longest kill has come in at around a Meager 600 so not that great, i have recently acquired a mosin and a lrs prized off the corpse of my cold enemy so i will be looking to improve this around berezino tonight, slaughter house server, feel free to come along and help me out.  :D

[Jayz1331 62]

yeah, i know long shots are kinda pointless as you have a 2second+ bullet travel time but in just curious if a 2000m shot would be possible, or would it be like getting hit with a .22 at 400m lol

[blazinone 72]

OP, how did you approximate your distance to target? I haven't spent much time with the long range scope but haven't see any "range finding" devices yet in game.

hit a guy 996meters far with my mosin. he started bleeding but didnt die. he was standing still, and i aimed like 2-3meters above his head. this was a pretty awesome moment :-)

[flygamer1 176]

1200 meters something with m107 in arma 2 dayz mod. Long time ago. It was very satisfying

Average human male takes a 2.5 foot stride, which is give or take 78cm.

Also, My longest shot in the mod was 1310m, But was with an AS-50 on a stationary target on a modded to hell and back private hive which had nameplates, aka Inbuilt range finders.

I did however witness a 1150m shot on a moving target, However I didn't fire the shot.

You can use DayZDB Map http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus which has a range finding tool (just click to put down you're points)

[gibonez 3633]

1200m with an m24 on a takistan dayz server.

 

Sniping is too easy in stand alone and vanilla arma glad to hear wind will be added.

thats what i used, worked out 7-8 locations with ranges so atleast i know the avarage distance to take the shot.

800 meters on Lingor with the Barrett.

Learn to read the map (ingame or out of game) and you can estimate the distance correctly to within 0-50 meters.

 

My longest shot is 2100 meters on Arma 3 on a stationary target with the 50 cal and AP ammunition because the regular ammunition doesn't go that far for some odd reason no matter how high you aim or set your zeroing to.

Maxes out at 1600 or 1800, Can't remember which, Just despawns. I used some API on a house from a weapon/realism pack awhile back, That was good fun.

It despawns? That is so retarded :(

[Frothyboot18 46]

My longest was 835 meters, i set my range to 800 and fired... He was going down a ladder(the one you press f to get up on) at a firehouse... First one missed him, he ran to the ladder and i shot again, i hit him, then he fell... I dont know if he was dead because of my shot or he died coz he did an animation of getting hit and fell... But either way, i consider it a kill shot hahahahaha

[Chucknorris405 83]

in SA i took out one guy at about 900 with one shot (stationary), i dont think this is the norm and it was more luck than skill

 

 

in mod with an AS50 i could headshot you at 1200+

You know if you have a map ( in arma 2, sure SA is the same ) you can just count the squares on the map when you are zoomed in. they are around 100 mtrs each one from memory.

Best way to get a handle on range until we get military scopes/rangefinders is to use this to create range cards for your firing positions.

[rybo 171]

In SA about 800m+ in Arma 2/3 over 2400m easy...

[Buck10489 29]

Ill do it since nobody else has.........**there

[Dawgstyl 51]

In the SA

1085m +or- ranged using the dayz db so it could be a little more or less it was 0'ed at 800 and was just more than half way down the redical line.

(guy was looting the NE airfield control tower) not going to give up my spot but its not where you think it is ;)

 

For some reason I cant render moving targets beond that point, any tips?

[-Gews- 7443]

just curious if a 2000m shot would be possible

 

No. The bullet will only travel 1850 meters.

 

My longest shots were all in Wasteland Takistan. 2442m with M107, 1373m with M24, ~1550m with M24 but no kill.

[Hetstaine 10852]

Hatchet @ .01 metres.
