Suppressor for the Mosin and Other High-Caliber Rifles?

Recommended Posts

Live with the bottle suppressor or wait until dedicated sniper rifles are implemented, because real suppressors for the Mosin rifle just don't make sense. It acts as the current sniper rifle because no alternatives exist but it's definitely not going to stay in its position forever and eventually you'll have real platforms that are more than capable of using suppressors, making the Mosin a mostly obsolete choice in terms of sniping.

 

It definitely doesn't need any more aftermarket attachments, and personally I think it shouldn't even have the LRS at all; the PU Scope is the only sensible scope attachment.

 

personally i prefer the sawnoff version because i like to carry as many guns as i can fit into my invent. i've been trying the LRS and PU more often recently but the sawnoff version is how i think you'll see the mosin more often when SVD and something like an M40 is added. 

 

i'm really looking forward to the new IZH rifle that fires (7.62mmR?) myself. it might be one-shot breech loaded, but it's model looks damn nice in both sawn and unsawn. i'd like to see if that gets any attachments. hopefully there's some attachments/sawn versions for repeaters and the blaze soon too.

At the end of the day I am hoping Suppressors do not really get added in mass for most weapons in the game.

 

They are very niche things and are not used extensively even within the military. They are seldom issued and would not be very common especially for Russian federation weapons.

I think what we have is fine, although it could use some adjustments.

 

Assuming we keep the current generic "Suppressor East", "Suppressor NATO", and "Pistol Suppressor" archetypes (plus the improvised suppressor), it would sensibly go as follows;

  • Suppressor East: AKS-74U, AK74, AK101, SVD. (I hate the caliber difference we see with these, but the 74 and SVD series do sometimes use suppressors, so I think supporting them is fine. The AKM does not need one.)
  • Suppressor NATO: M4A1, AUG. (Just as it is now.)
  • Pistol Suppressor: FNX45, CR75, MP5K, UMP45 (Again, mostly the same, although the 1911, Makarov, and P1 should not be using this.)
  • Improvised Suppressor: P1, LongHorn, Sporter 22, Trumpet, CR-527, SKS, Mosin, plus the weapons from above that use East/NATO suppressors (Not the pistol ones, though)

It's not entirely realistic to have these multi-caliber suppressors but if it stays that way I think it'll work fine. People should be grateful for the fact that they can use an improvised suppressor on a large arsenal of guns anyway, because long lasting (i.e. machined) suppressors are very high end loot and making them universal removes the point of looking for compatible weapons.

omg facepalm to the max, where do you kids come from ? COD land? console world? suppressing a mosin :lol:  funniest thing ive ever heard of! please go research your weapons before suggesting such things.

You clearly didn't read a word of what I said and if you did, you understood absolutely none of it. Leave and post your ignorant replies elsewhere.

First guys, the mosin has to have a custom barrel end (which it doesn't) and it was never suppose to have one attached since its a old and collectors type gun now.

 

I am sure many still use it around their place of residence in good old Russia etc.. but I doubt anyone really cared to add a suppressor to it.

 

 

but here is what one sounds like after they threaded the end.

I just really like this gun, and plan to carry one in dayz for a very long time.

 

 

Jump to 5.0 to see what it would really look like with a scope. So we are lucky the dev.'s gave us one.
