Mosin and PSO Scope

[darksteeljorge 96]

Hello there! I was checking out some PSO Scopes and suddenly .....

 

 

What do you think ? Amazing isn't it ? 

[Katana67 2907]

Not the most elegant looking thing... but, neat?

 

Although I don't mind the Mosin being able to mount the LRS at all, I do think it should be at least somewhat limited to the PU scope (given how common the Mosin is). But until we get another decent bolt-action, I think it's fine as-is.

Jesus, mosins arent prom queens to start with, but... My god.

[gibonez 3633]

Mosin should only take the pu optic if that.

 

We don't need no bubbaed mosins running around chenarus.

Karabiner 98k? in .308?

There was a Mauser screenshot from early on in the SA, probably just a placeholder... let me find it...

 

 

Honestly, I'd rather a CZ 550 or Remington 700. I'd even take a SMLE over the Mauser, too aesthetically similar to the Mosin (even though I recognize the differences).

Mausers are the best,

 

Mauser, represent, yo.

Mauser is already made but won't be in the initial release of SA. There will be assault rifles. As for the Mosin...

Shhh...don't tell anybody I showed you these ;)

The Chernarus of DayZ is a fictitious creation that’s "generic country with significant Russian influence in its past" that more recently has had a great influence from the West. Its not unlike Czech Republic in that regard and so when myself and Ivan Buchta (our ambassador to Chernarus) created the wish lists of weapons, gear, and player clothing, it was done with that in mind.

I even went so far as to gather gun ownership statistics in CR, which, incidentally, has some of the most accommodating gun laws for civilian ownership in Europe. What I found was that CR is ranked in the top third of gun owners per capita. There's approximately 300k registered gun owners who own ~700k firearms between them. This doesn't include those with illegal guns and you can bet there are a fair number of those too. This contained the greatest variety and can include anything from AR15s to civilianized AKs (such as Vepr), Glocks, Desert Eagles...pretty much anything you can think of can be found in the country. Next is the police - there's ~42k police officers in the CR and they seem to use both western and eastern weapons. I've found pics of SWAT-style units in Prague with MP5k and MP5s, Glocks, Benelli shotguns, and an assortment of CZ pistols, SMGs, and rifles (of course). Last comes military and there's ~23k soldiers. These guys use anything from your assorted CZ arms like the police, as well as M4 variants, M60s, MP5SDs, SVDs, OP96s, some tricked out Sako rifles, etc... and I think this type of model (although we can embellish the selection of specific things with specific ‘types of things’) is a good one to follow.

So I'm looking at these stats and I read comments on the forum and I wonder "do people think DayZ is set during the Cold War era". Then I would understand why most guns need to be Eastern-ish, historic peculiarities. But if DayZ is set in the present day (or slight future), then it’s totally appropriate to have an eclectic mixture of things.

There will be some older, historic firearms from the East, like the Mosin, and some newer ones from the West, like a customizable M4. If I recall, the weapon list is ~50% "eastern stuff" so its not exactly a Russian gun enthusiasts wet dream but I hope that which was chosen will appeal to a broad range of people.

I like how CZ is the inspiration for what weapons get added.

I need a SMLE, Bayonet and my red wool coat for when we're forcing people to sing "God save the Queen" at gunpoint.

 

SMLE must happen.

I don't see why not at one point the SMLE was one of the most popular military surplus rifles in the world and it has seen combat all throughout the globe. It was especially notorious in Afghanistan when used by the Taliban.

I am missing the Commonwealth weaponry, SMLE and L1A1/FAL need to happen for sure.

That Mosin and scope is something,I like it!

 

Bring it on,thanks for post

I would like to see ALL these weapons available some day,as for I also would think this map is more from the future or should be than from a time earlier>

derp, let's put thermal mosins in the game, there's a real life video of one with it. derp.

[eskamick 20]

I...uhhh...wtf? That thing is making my brain let out little sharts of derp.

Lee Enfield yes but  No. 4 Mk I version. Higher rate of fire plus 10 round mag makes it my favorite bolt action.

[Katana67 2907]

Do we have any idea of what magnification the PSO scope will be at in DayZ? I mean, I think 4x would be bang on for the AKM, but a bit lacking for the SVD. I think a 6x or 8x version would be ideal for the SVD.

[irishroy 1347]

Damn.

Mosin + PU(with real magnification of 3.4x)

and

B95 + LRS

would be a good change, I could imagine xD

 

 

 

If the PSO fits on the AKM, I'm not sure, how useful it is, since AKs and accuracy... :s

(just a thought^^)

I want a PPSh

I never suggested it that's why it's in general discussion just you know to inform :)

Akms are plenty accurate the stereotype of them being inaccurate is completely false and is the result of people who have little to no training using them in conflicts .

[Capo 323]

I'm all for the LRS being removed from the mosin, and added to the blaze. Once the PU scope correctly zooms to 3.4x of course. 

 

That being said, it is imperative that the zeroing is extended for the PU if that happens. 300 meters isn't enough.

They need to extend it to 1000 meters anyways. It should go further but the zeroing stops working after about 1000.

Is that a bug or purposely inaccurate zeroing past 100mm.

 

 

On that note I really hope they fix the zeroing on the weapons.

 

I would like the mosin to be able to zero to 2000m like it does in real life, although good luck hitting anything past 800m with irons.

 

That being said a skilled player with a good shooting position should atleast be given the option of being able to tag people from extended ranges with iron sights, if only the iron sight zoomed a tiny bit more to accurately simulate our vision.

[-Gews- 7443]

It's a minor bug, it would be difficult to fix so it doesn't concern me. In my opinion they should offer more detailed zeroing configuration options to avoid this problem for long range weapons.

[akafugitive 244]

If they add in the wind factor I certainly hope they change the way zeroing is done. Tuning like how ACE handles it would be favorable
