New bolt action rifle coming.

[gibonez 3633]

Hopefully when the new bolt action hopefully of modern design comes out they go ahead and remove all of the accessories from the mosin and keep it a proper iron sight weapon like God intended.

Bubbaed mosins make baby Jesus cry.

The PU scope is a perfectly acceptable attachment for it, and I doubt they'll take away the compensator since it was made specifically for the Mosin. The ATLAS bipod will probably stay as well.

The only attachment that they might remove is the LRS, but they haven't really removed attachments from any weapons, save for the LRS from the SKS, and that happened almost immediately after the update.

We have a civilian bolt sniper already, we need a military one, the SVD is confirmed, so I would guess that will be the military answer to the mosin. Most likely it will be an m24 or some type of scopeless hunting rifle.

 

Edit: the bipod on mosin is already gone on the experimental.

Don't be too surprised if we get trolled with bolt action pens...

S V D dragunov

Though not bolt, this would still make an excellent addition.. and very good with what is already in game (scopes) 

 

But since we already have the Mosin, Im going to guess M1903 Springfield. Yes, I know it will require new ammo.. but thats my guess and what I would want.

The SVD has been confirmed some months ago (further and more recent info to be found here), so that is a given.

[a_ruttle 199]

he thinks we dont know which ammo goes to which weapon!

Or he's lazy, Different calibers and realistic ballistics make ArmA combat great, that's why I never played vanilla arma after ACE came out, arma, and even more so DayZ are the best games out there for emmersive combat.

[PhillyT 554]

Why is torchia such an arse about different ammo types, make a bloody realistic survival game, the mosins one is likely to find in chernarus would be firing 7.62 x54r

 

You want a realistic survival game?  Then remove almost all the long guns (since most wouldn't be in Chernarus), all of the current pistols (not a single one would be in Chernarus), zombies (not real), and restrict it to like three total rifles (mosin, some sort of .22, and a shotgun).  Oh, and bullets are useless unless found indoors.

 

Weee, bet that would be a blast!

Actually. DayZ is meant to take place after the events of Arma II. So military gear should be pretty abundant,,,

Maybe that way we could focus more on survival than to hunting each other :)

So that means what, the AKM and maybe the M4 are a bit more common.  Doesn't help any of the pistols I mentioned.

 

And that also runs counter to the other great complaint, made by you on more than one occasion, that military loot shouldn't be on the coast.

[liquidsnake 275]

It'd make the most sense to add a modern(ish) bolt-action rifle which mounts all of the sniper attachments, so we can finally bid farewell to the terribly unrealistic  Mosin options. My guess is a CZ, but it could be anything that can mount the LRS/bipod.

That or they daftly decide to add yet another ancient bolt-action and leave the bipod/LRS useless still.

But since they removed the capability to mount the bipod to the Mosin, it almost HAS to be a modern rifle

[PhillyT 554]

Did they remove the bipod in experimental The End?

[liquidsnake 275]

Did they remove the bipod in experimental The End?

I read that they did, in Experimental. Haven't checked yet, tho

[PhillyT 554]

Makes sense.

 

I think we will see the mosin become the Lee Enfiled.  Starter gun with no options.  As it should be.

 

It was a place holder for all single shot gun variants anyway.

Yeah. But map has to be also balanced... Loot should never respawn and if you die you shouldn't be able to play DayZ again. Realism.

The mosin should be the dayz Enfield.

Simple firearm with good iron sights, readily available ammo, OK accuracy, good versatility, reliable but has a lack of firepower.

In this role I think the mosin would be even better since it is less accurate than an Enfield and holds less rounds.

[PhillyT 554]

The mosin doesn't lack fire power.  It fires a .308 round.

[DemonGroover 8836]

I found a bipod.  Haven't tried to use it yet though.

It's got firepower simply for being a .308 and having 5 rounds, which is a good deal more than the Longhorn and Blaze 95.

Again, I doubt they'll take out the PU Scope, Compensator, or ATLAS bipod for it, since all of those can be mounted to the Mosin realistically. Hell, even the LRS can, but whatever.

Firepower is a term usually describing not a guns stopping power but it's overall capacity and round power.

An m4 would thus have more Firepower than say an mosin

It a gun that shoots lightning bolts.

No, that would be an Arc Cannon. Try again.
