sawn off .22 sporter poll ...should we be able to

[King Raptor 191]

Really don't see a reason as to why you would want to do that. I can't even find a clip for the weapon.

Well, I guess I could leave a trail of ruined .22's...

Rocket just tweeted that he saw this post and is including this change in the weekly maintenance tonight because it's so much better than the stuff they have been working on

yes because how ever many people it took to have the sporter make it in game wasted there time on something that is rarely used so there good at picking the best thing right ?

Why not?

I dont think it takes much effort from the devs side, then anyone can fkup their gun if they like to... its not away from anybody, dont cut yours if you dont like it. You should be able to  cut your m4 in half if you liked to, use it without necessary attachments etc etc.

 

I think the only real problem with this for Devs is, that they would have to go and and redo every gun model to sawn-off version.

Since Scubaman already stated, that duct taping flashlight to rifles is no go, because of the time the graphics would have to spent on making these models, I doubt they will devote this time for sawn-off models of every rifle.

and that completely stands to reason and most valid point brought to the discussion .. majority try to bang on about bullet ballistics and so on ... thank you for an informative constructive answer .... and with that it makes complete sense that this will most likely never happen so no real reason to continue with this thread ...... +1

why cut down a shotgun .... why cut down any firearm ...

because that damn shorty is as long as a musket if you don't cut it down, the Sporter is nice and compact as it is already.

Exactly. Better focus on ideas that are actually game changing.

But maybe later guys!! Remember, devs said DayZ SA should be supported several years, so after they've added the majority of weapons, why not go back and create sawn-off and dusct taped flashlight?  :)

 

Tbh I like anything custom, since this should be apocalypse, so I would love even AKM or M4 magazines duct taped together and such makeshift improvements.

or more like every weapon you come across will be cut in half so if you had the only fuctional firearm in the server you would become the pre reset feudal lord of sorts 

Fair enough, good points.

If crafting gun with duct taped flaslight is no go I start to wonder, how no go is something even more important and tasking..

Maybe later, sure they have more important stuff to work on now time wise... sure duct taped flashlight is great addition to gameplay and should be done, Im quite sure they could do it by just simple flashlight with ductape on its model when crafted.

I really dont mind about if anything is sawn off, but everything that bring more to the gameplay should be considered.

Perhaps it isn't an immediate priority, but I really think that the game needs as much customisation and crafting as possible in the long run, even if it doesn't always 'improve' an item - we should be allowed to make mistakes.

 

It's the little details that make a game environment believable, which is pretty important in my opinion. For the game to tell you "you can perform such-and-such an action on this item, but not to that item, because it's the rules" is just bad news, I think.

I rather would like to see this option for the Blaze Rifle. If you fire both barrel at the same time in a close quarter combat situation, this will pack quite a punch. I do not really see a purpose to implement this for the Sporter, it lacks the damage potential to be of any use as a sawn of version (and we already have the Amphibia...)
