GaryWalnuts 1680 Posted October 27, 2015 And which rifle/pistol is best for knocking someone out and has the least risk of one shot killing them ? Probably a .22 but all of the .22's have slightly different stats, the Amphibia wiki mentions knocking-out unarmored players http://dayz.gamepedia.com/Amphibia_S But if the all of the wiki stats are accurate I'd say the Trumpet is probably the best choice.It has the same stats as the Amphibia minus the 200% bleed chance.

q.S Sachiel 470 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) AFAIK all damage from fire-arms is based on the calibre. I believe that the calibre / shot dictates the damage, so a SKS should do the same damage as an AKM with identical calibre ammunition. 1hitkill will depend on portion of body impacted by round, and sometimes even what clothing items the bullet travels through, and what items may be in that clothing. I was of the opinion that a headshot is pretty much game over 99% of the time (for players). Second, while I believe all melee weapons do 'shock damage' (the factor which influences knockout), there is also a factor to do with health/state. So a person who is dying from thirst, hunger, cold and sickness should be easier to knock out than a person with All-systems-green. So i don't actually know any values, try the search engine, or check some youtube videos, keeping in mind these values can change from update to update, and take my words with a pinch of salt because I don't have a real understanding of the systems, just hearsay.

atempleton 123 Posted October 27, 2015 Stun batons and king hits are roughly 30 seconds. Haven't tried a cattle prod though.The best gun for knockouts is the Sporter. They will have to be wearing a helmet though or it will kill them as will any gun with unprotected headshots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
