Items destroyed by shooting

[vesmo 21]

Just as the title says: make items randomly destroyed when you take bullet hits. If you were in a real firefight, soda cans would burst in your backpack, precious electronics like GPS and NVG would be broken beyond repair etc. This might make bandits and other survivors think twice before firing their gun for your supplies. Sure it would suck if you get shot and manage to escape only to find something destroyed but hey, it's the end of the world, it's not supposed to be easy and convenient. This could also enable robbery without murder, though I doubt the game would evolve to that point for the majority of users. Anyway, just my two cents.

I made a post about this already in the thread "The ONLY Realistic Way to Prevent Deathmatching: Make DayZ a Living Hell" (http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=23578), but I thought the idea deserved a thread of its own.

i wanted to post this myself. i think it's a great idea. i think the backpack should have its own hitbox though, and obviously if NVGS/whatever were being used at the time, they are destroyed with headshots only blah blah

i was thinking in a slightly different direction just this morning:

how about parts of your equipment get destroyed when you are killed (let's say 30%). this would both limit the kos and make the game much more intense as it would be much more profitable to actually rob a player rather than just killing him. and thus promoting teamwork among both bandits and survivors.

in addition running lonewolf would become even more intense as you would encounter much more groups of players and not be sure what to make of them.

that's a sweet idea. it would be cool if you could knock people out with a melee to rob them..
