nikom7 19 Posted May 22, 2014 I just read in the wiki, that the rounds the Mosin Nagant is chambered in, are 7.62x51, weren't they the x54. Because the the x51 are the NATO version, and there were no x51's back then. Did they change the x54s to x51s for some new weapons, and then add new x54s?

FrostDMG 398 Posted May 22, 2014 I think they want to keep the number of ammo types to a minimum. So 7.62 for AK, DMR and mosin would all be the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the flagship ammo they originally had was 5.56x45 and 7.62x51 since there are the 2 most common NATO rounds, making the ammunition usable in a plethora of weaponry. Rather than adding in a 7.62 rifle that should be controlled by a central data base (which we dont have yet), they just made the Mosin use the ammo. Eventually, they will add in the appropriate ammunition (most likely whenever they release the SVD as it uses the same ammunition).

nikom7 19 Posted May 22, 2014 Good, if DayZ is going to teach people who know nothing about guns and calibers, then at least teach them the right calibers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
randomspawn 215 Posted May 23, 2014 Good, if DayZ is going to teach people who know nothing about guns and calibers, then at least teach them the right calibersHere is what people want to learn. Does it go boom? yes, then I will shoot it. I think the majority don't care about ballistics and whatnot. They just want to find guns, magazines/clips, and ammo. If they match, all the better.
