Weapon Modifications

[Heathcock 2]

I was hoping the developers could take into account the different modifications that are out there for weapons, especially older ones and popular firearms alike.

 

Take for instance the Mosin Nagant chambered in 7.62x54R (since the game was released it for some reason was chambered in 7.62x51(.308) Don't know why but the developers have their reasons. There are so many companies that make different stocks for them and drop in add-ons that require little to no knowledge of the firearm it's self for instance, here's a photo of one of many possible drop in stocks.

 

 

Looking at another, the SKS. It's also a popular military surplus rifle that has many different type of drop in stocks and attachments that would be kind of cool to see in game, even if they were like a 1/1000 chance of being found, there are drop in stocks that have magazines that work for them, which would also be kind of cool to see.

 

 

If you end up adding the Remington 700, or an M14(M1A) into the game, there are so many different ways you can modify them that make them a bit handier or even if it's just for the looks. I know the game is still alpha, but to see things like that implemented would be awesome. Even if it wasn't done til the final release of the game I would still like to see something like this, it would make firearms feel more like "my rifle" instead of something else everyone had, even if it was one different stock per certain types of rifles or pistols. Just like clothing it adds a nice touch to the game, that makes it feel more like your person is unique to your self. Instead of the everyone wears the same thing and uses the same firearms.

I have to agree here

[Heathcock 2]

Remember those are just two examples for two different rifles, those same rifles you can find hundreds of stocks and attachments that can be placed on them with little to no smithing knowledge. I still have the question of why the 7.62x54R is called 7.62x51(or .308) in the game, maybe it was a typo, or maybe for the sake of the alpha they are making easier so the ammo can be used in different rifles when the ammo comes along, because if you inspect the ammo, it's rimmed like it's supposed to be and 7.62x54R is the only rimmed cartridge that's still in use today by militaries all over the world.

How would something as obscure as these parts make their way to eastern Europe.

 

Had the game been set in Farmland in Ohio sure it is plausible.

If people can buy them for hunting, then they can be found. You can in-fact buy these even in European countries, you just need a special permit or the right license. They are cheap ,and can be easily ordered. If you have a sporting rifle permit in Germany, you can do what ever you want to the rifle as long as you let the proper authorities know you are changing the cosmetics of a firearm. I do know about Russians being able to own firearms and what they can and cannot own, they can order parts and upgrades for firearms there if they have the right permits. They cannot conceal carry or own fully automatic weapons though. Just like Americans buy weapons from over seas, so do the Russians and many other countries.

Here's a link to help you understand how their laws work.

 

Sorry for the late edit, but I should also say that not everyone follows the law, and when you have your fingers in the black market, you can find some pretty interesting weapons.

Well actually, yes that could happen, as for as many attachments as you want, literally if you have the parts, you can go full mall ninja.

I do like the idea of more weapons mods and even more stocks for different weapons.  But I would have to agree with Gibonez, I don't really see these being very common in Chenarus.  I would also think that the people who would have these types of rifles would not be the type to spend money to import a polymer tactical stock when they're probably using either rifle for hunting and was probably passed down through the family.  That and I don't think they'ed just have them laying around in a warehouse, nor would I think Special Forces teams (of Western or Eastern Origin) would have them on their choppers.  Now if there was an 'ConMag' or 'BUMPCO' factory or some other local workshop that was making weapons mods I could see them adding similar things, like how we have the CR-75 instead of the CZ-75.

 

EDIT also the 7.62x54r mistake was more of a design choice.  They were adding 7.62x51 rifles, and rather than have just one weapon use the 54r they decided for gameplay reasons to just 'make' the mosin 51.  When more 54r weapons are added (Dragnov, I'm assuming the PKP at some point, even maybe the Winchester 1895 if they want to add another leaver action) they'll 'bring back' the 54r round.

they should add in some unique spawns. maybe one for each major town.

 

 

 

IE weapons factory (spawns new military grade weapons and civ loot),

 

museum (spawns medieval armor and other medieval gear, caveman outfits, tophats, fancy suits, cossack gear, WW2 soviet and german gear, ww2 soviet and german weapons),

 

bottling factory (several of these around the map with different brands of drink),

 

dock warehouse (containers full of random loot, each container is full of one random game item. (there are realistically some places IRL that would have large amounts of THE SAME item stored together, especially in a dock environment in containers.),

 

an actual gun shop (civ weapons),  

 

a sporting goods store (spawns running gear, quickdry clothing and designer running shoes, as well as those "string pull" sports packs,

 

an outdoors store that can spawn anything from specific mountain gear to scuba gear and skis,

I did say that could be very rare, a drop for 1/1000 kinda deal. Also, Russia has shooting ranges that stores a lot of civilian firearms, by law, so that could be added also as a high drop rate zone. Not for the stocks, but for civilian firearms.
