slyder73 94 Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) 10 pushups and some cardio. come on. ruck at a 12 min pace for 4 miles. (45lbs + water)thendo 3 sets of max pushups (muscle failure) (your 20secs of rest inbetween sets is flutter kicks.)then30 burpies (without stopping.)thensprint 100 meters and aim at a moving target. no rest in between. get back to me on what kind of off hand sway you have, I've done whats listed above. also, an m4 also weights right around 8lbs with an optic and 30 round mag, though, not as long.It was all I could do in a few minutes at night at home. Kept it to the Mosin as the post started with.I have a scoped M14 that comes in at about 13.8 pounds, an arm burner if you try to hold it after exertion.I would stick to the M4 any day as well though the point I think in this thread is that even at rest there is too much sway. Video would be fun to do as a test but....I'm not THAT interested in forum posting! lol Edited May 22, 2015 by Slyder73 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hekeetsu 86 Posted May 22, 2015 But hey, remember that the characters in DayZ could be just some random guys that have never shot a gun, even if you're an experienced shooter the characters might not be :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excanto 336 Posted May 26, 2015 My experience with the Mosin is standing, lots of sway, kneeling some sway, prone not much sway and a bunch of weeds in the way. It's tough to find a place to prone with nothing blocking your view and your not exposed and there is something to shoot at. Once I was up on a hillside far from anything and I was range finder the distance to a street in a town and using the scope to see how the shot looked at a zombie creeping around a house. I was quiet as a mouse in the middle of no where and a zombie popped up behind me and started hammering me. This was before the new updated zombies. After using most of the other rifles with scopes, I find a mosin with LRS to be super accurate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
