slippery gypsy 107 Posted June 24, 2014 this is a simple poll to discuss the ideaas most people go for military type weapons i truely dig the little .22 plinksterwe can already cut down the shotgun so why not the .22i am fully aware of how inaccurate the sporter would become probably less accurate than most pistols ... or would it become a small bore OP 30 shot pistol like WMD and if accuracy was you major concern you probably wouldnt be carrying the sporter anyway mostly i am hoping that this thread can rabble rouse enough of you so that some devs see it and consider the idea flipside of it is the realism factor which is a big thing on this forum i highly doubt there is a huge number of sawn off weapons floating around a place like chernarus as opposed to where im from 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibonez 3633 Posted June 24, 2014 What possible benefit could there be to cutting down a sporter ? reduced muzzle velocity on an already relatively weak caliber that needs all the muzzle velocity it can get ? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

liquidsnake 275 Posted June 24, 2014 why cut down a shotgun .... why cut down any firearm ...Cutting down a shotgun increases spread, which is useful in CQB. Cutting down another type of firearm makes it easier and faster to handle in CQB. However, cutting down the Sporter has such a massive effect on its accuracy that only a fool would consider doing it. It's already relatively light and not all too long, so it's fine in CQB. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hombrecz 832 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I'd rejoice if Sporter's mags finally spawned in civilian buildings only.It's crazy they are part of military loot and it is puting anybody trying to use Sporter at disadvantage. Being able to get Sporter's mags from civilian buildings would boost usage of that little beast by a ton. Edited June 24, 2014 by Hombre 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibonez 3633 Posted June 24, 2014 why cut down a shotgun .... why cut down any firearm ... Generally a shotgun was cut down because of concealment. they made for handy weapons you could hide under a small jacket and rob a bank with. There was an actual reason to cut it down. Shotguns are awesome extremely deadly regardless of muzzle velocity or barrel length. no such benefits would come from a ruger 10/22 being chopped down except maybe even less range and keyholing of rounds.

byrgesen 1341 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Unless its shooting buck shots, theres absolutely no reason to cut down any weapon tbh.I vote no, its really not needed, the manpower and time could be spend on other things, which is far more important, such as the tents, vehicles and new weapons :) I feel that if we where to start cutting down the .22, we need to be able to cut down EVERY single weapon, for no other reason, then just to cut it down....Im sorry, but its a complete waste of resources imho.

irishroy 1347 Posted June 24, 2014 why not the Mosin, SKS and B95, too?(Sawn off Mosin aka Obrez is world-wide-known, and sawn off B95-stats are in the gamefiles already) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted June 24, 2014 To be honest I will also say why not if someone chooses to chop their gun down and lose some performance for the sake of maneuverability and concealment go ahead. Better than the alternative you know more rails .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byrgesen 1341 Posted June 24, 2014 why not the Mosin, SKS and B95, too? Agreed, if one gets the option, they should all have it.But this is something they can spend time and resources on developing, after release tbh...Theres much more important things to develop right now, then the ability to saw off each and every weapon ingame.

(IMO, persistent backpacks would be enough storage for the casual gamer. Set up 1-3 backpacks full of supplies in the wilderness and you're set) Edited June 24, 2014 by irishroy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Set up 1-3 backpacks full of supplies in the wilderness and you're set) Sure thats one thing, but basicly every single piece of new item, object, building or whatever, that they want in the game, is more important then creating models and configs to saw off the weapons we have now :)IMHO its nothing but a waste of valuable resources, especially when we consider the amount of work thats "behind schedule" already (looking at the roadmap).

Better than the alternative you know more rails .... Well if those attachments do not magicaly add +30 accuracy, then there should be no harm of adding some rare pieces.In the end, people like to have some kind of goal even in sandbox game like DayZ.I mean I prefer stock looks, for me it makes more sense when talking about poor Post-communistic country, but if it's just aesthetical there should be no problem. Some were hunting helicopters or cars, many went looking for their dream gun, problem is, that none of this is yet in SA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
