Searching for the 1000 m shot with the RV1 RDS Optics package

[hotcakes 348]

i thought m4 bullets do almost no damage past 400 meters (in DayZ, mind you xD)

 

We were shooting this one gal's group at 400-600m and she would not bloody die. Later found out she was a streamer and that she got shot close to 10 times, mostly near the legs.

Naw, I've had multiple kills over 600 m.

[cpo1bishop 44]

true, but they can and will start running toward you. They might stop halfway to you though

 

I've had that happen and I lost him in the trees.

 

Really anything under 700 m, and you can see them pretty clearly, you can see them getting hit and falling. I have had one get back up once and I shot her again, but for the most part the cause of death is pretty clear.

 

I suppose I should shut it till I get fraps or something, but I really have no motivation to exaggerate. I mean, if you're comfortable assuming the m4's range litmitations (not that you specifically are) you may be surprised, by someone else.

Sidenote: I really really can't wait until suppressors function.

What's really scary is when you think they've killed themselves but they're really just glitched and haven't played the "Get back up" animation so you suddenly die of fright in the middle of the dark woods at night after being hit by a zombie that was speeding across the ground the whole time. True story.

weeeeeeak. Yeah, I've stopped in the middle of forest a few times, start rifling through my pack, pull out the ammo box to organize.... a zombie growling accompanied by the sounds of the thuds as he beats me. Get up, run away, kill zombie, spend 5 minutes trying to find ammo box in the dark before admitting defeat a couple hundred rounds lighter.

 

Yesterday I spawned in, was greeted by the text "I feel warm blood on my clothes" wait forever.... hear a zombie beating me, fall into a blind run, the video slowly comes in, shoot the zombie, discover I left my first aid kit on the last server cause it was in my hands. The lucky part was the first house I ran into in a panic actually had a shirt.

I didn't hear any zombies at all when it happened to me, that's the weird thing.

with all magpull parts on the m4 and a acog on top u can smash zombies up to 700 m easy ! 

 

btw can it be that the bipod doesnt really help ? because i dont notice any difference ( deployed/undeployed )

I always have it out if I'm prone, never out when I'm kneeling, just out of habit, so I don't know, I'll give it a try. The only major difference I've noticed; while standing accuracy is greatly reduced for anything over a few hundred meters.

Ugh.. lost a drive on a raid 0 array, reinstalling from steam right now. Are characters server based?

Hello there

 

Yes.
