Ammo cook off.

[badpr1m3r 49]

Ok so aside from cooking in fire places...  

 

I think the idea of placing loose rounds (bullets) in the fire should be implemented.

 

You can put them in the fire, but what I mean is after a certain amount of time (A few minutes) the rounds cook off and explode.  

 

The rounds should not travel far and kill further than a foot away, due to the fact that there is not enough compression (Or a barrel) so the only risk would be from flying brass casings.  

 

This ammunition cook-off with heat could be used tactically as a diversion tactic upon raiding a point of interest.  

 

False ambush, hoax, mis-direction, Psychological warfare.  

 

i.e - "OH shit dude somebodies firing a lot of rounds to the east!" 

Meanwhile the attack comes from the west.

Agreed.

One time I hit a round with a hammer and it exploded. We should be able to do that.

When I was a kid, I used to hit Remington compression caps with a hammer.

Good times.

How about forceful mischambering? You could trap a high-caliber rifle like a Mosin, leave it in a house, and watch as someone walks over, shoots it, and it explodes in his face. You could jam a round into the barrel of a rifle, you could misfeed a magazine or something.. So many evil things >:D

I absolutely support the ability to create all sorts of booby traps. Provide materials, without instructions, and let the clever heads (potentially few and far between, from what I see on this forum  :rolleyes: ) figure out the ways that folks can be undone. Of course I would only use this to dismember Zed.

Ammo cooking off isn't as hazardous as one would think. Rounds under pressure may bust their casings, rather than propel the projectile. It does make a pretty intimidating noise though.

Pin pulled on a hand grenade, stuffed into a can, and set onto a tripwire, so that when stepped on, it pulls the grenade out? :D

Or just fill a can with a live explosive charge and nails, stick a lit match in it, run.

Yea, but tripwire

[Rigor Mortis (DayZ) 141]

I'd love if they'd implement some kind of IED system, but it might get crazy... bombs all over the maps and shit.

 

If they'd let me I'd make shape charges from old pots and the explosives in grenades/other munitions and turn them into anti-armor land mines.

I'd like to pull the pin on a grenade, place a vest ontop of it holding the spoon and sit in earshot at the airfield. That'd be fun.

Indiscriminate booby traps would be more bad than good, they'd cause a surge in people hopping between recently reset servers etc. Big, obvious to the keen eye [ie those who pay attention to their surroundings and don't sprint about NWAF] traps like bear traps and animal snares that disarm after no more than 1 hour from the time they were placed would be ok, maybe even the odd landmine [rare] that can only be placed in soft ground like say a forest floor once they add loot storage systems like tents etc.

I agree, this would increase the tactic approach to a high loot area and would be a great diversion for confusion.

Or just mine bodies. When someone comes along to loot it, it'll explode.

 

Maybe requiring some EOD on the part of the survivors. Maybe a new option to inspect the body.

Good ideas.
