For all you snipers out their.

[Steak and Potatoes 13480]

Hatchet @ .01 metres.

 

Sex in the city.

[Pandema 352]

In SA, like 750 or so meters.

 

In ArmA 2 I've managed a 1.9km kill with the M107 on ACE

[P0rkchop 31]

I tried to shoot from the hill behind the NE airfield to the school/office building in the town to the SW. According to the map it's about 1300-1400m. The team at the building could not see or hear any bullets and fully scoped I could not see them. 

 

Do bullets even travel that far?

[Mullraugh 1151]

Longest distance kill for me: about 100 meters.

And I'm proud of it because you shouldn't be sniping in DayZ.

[Daemonkid 493]

1500m in Arma 3. Through a concrete building. Was using the .50 cal.

That was so satisfying. Like amg.

[WrecklessMEDIC 129]

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

I use the DayZDB map as well for figuring out range. I can consistently 1-shot targets at 500-600m with an LRS Mosin. My longest is maybe 800m tops.

I can't imagine hitting anything further than that. Then again I've just started sniping in the last 2 weeks. :)

[Windex 13]

With some patience and multiple attempts with the hold-breath key, I landed a hit from 940m last night.  (edited to add - from a standing position)

 

Seriously guys, he was coming right for me.   I had to do it!

[Grimey Rick 3417]

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?

 

pix plz

[Facetentacles 92]

I hit a zombie yesterday at 800 meters but as far as people go, I'm not sure I've even attempted anything over 600. Just recently adjusted my settings to where I could even see people that far

[haven923 65]

I've hit people at the farthest fire station in Electro from the middle crane by the docks.  DayZDB says it is roughly 845 meters.

 

I can pick off zombies from 500m with a Blaze with only missing 1 in 10 shots.  I love that gun!

[sess130 50]

I got a running headshot on somebody in Elektro at about 700m quite a while back, when the LRS crosshairs were still slightly to the left...needless to say I was pretty shocked.

[woots 82]

Longest in standalone was about 600m and target was running (was a headshot cuz only thing ruined in his inv was his helmet)

 

Longest in the mod was 1600+ and the target was also running

[The_Monk 320]

Approx 850m in SA.

 

Chapaevsk towers to furthest balota barracks.

 

Approx 1700 in Arma 2 Wasteland with an AS50.

 

Pik Kozlova to the edge of Cherno.

[Mos1ey 6301]

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

 

In DayZ mod render distance was locked at around 1600m, in DayZ I'm not sure what the max is but the game automatically sets mine at 2.4km so it can definitely go at least that high. I would have thought it would be able to go right up to 10km similarly to ArmA.

[DedicateDdos 50]

400 meters or so, but I don't set myself up specifically for long range shots as mostly I'm covering for me friend(s) so I tend to prefer a distance I know I can hit for certain.

I actually was shooting 900-1000 meters from ostry hill to the atc at NE :D

[Jayz1331 62]

i know i was shooting yesterday from the most south western apartment building laying down on the roof shooting at the airfield, i had my brother down their which is when i finally got my first 1shot, 1hit, 1kill, was lucky as it was just over 800m, 823m i think from the tower to the barracks/tent/bunk buildings against the road to the south. Was unsure of the bullet flight time but he hit the ground about 5 seconds after i pulled the trigger. Also saw a video of a 1300m +/- 25m shot on a moving target, seemed to be a 8 second flight time for a 1 shot down then 1 shot finish.

 

at that distance is it the same as being hit with a .22?

[-Gews- 7443]

At the maximum range of 1850 meters it still has 20% more damage than the .22.

[Buck10489 29]

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.

 

Sorry, but I'm going to go ahead and call bs on the M24 shots.

Zargabad, 1373 meters:

 

 

 

The ~1550 meters I did not record. He was kneeling in the middle of Loy Manara airfield and I was on the hill to the Northeast. I aimed way above him (he was entirely off the screen), fired and saw the blood as the shot hit him. However he just ran away and got in someone's Humvee.

 

Edit: and by the way, about the video, I killed two people in the exact same place. The first one I raged because Bandicam failed to capture it. However another guy ran up to the same spot so I did it again and got it on cam the second time.

[Powell (DayZ) 734]

Fellow Americans, DayZ and every ArmA game is measured in meters

Cause the Imperial system really makes no sense

[Windex 13]

First round hits out to 950 are definitely doable with the Mosin if they stand still long enough.
