Locations of Mags, for the sporter.

[sneakydudes 278]

"I used to carry a sportster due to abundance of ammo and mags i found.

I can not rememeber where i found all the mags (i even dropped a 30 and 2x10 round mags to make some space) but you could be right i visited some mil loot spawns (office, police, barracks...)."

 

Posted from searching.

 

This is what is happening. I am trying to use the Sporter .22 with the hunting scope. I want to hunt with it, and find how effective it is.

This is the only gun i have been able to find 1 mag, and 1 clip in the whole time since returning to the game. (which I threw away to make room)

 

All i want to do is test it out, how effective it is with hunting etc.. I carry an empty rifle around with a worn hunting scope. I am unable to find the mag, or .22 clip anywhere on the map again.

 

Where exactly have you found them? Houses or the above posted from my forum search.

I have not been able to find one since i threw them away as a fresh spawn. I have been going through barracks, police and most military spawns, unable to find a decent spot.

Houses are searched most times. Still unable to find a location.

 

Suggestions please?

 

Thanks

Deerstands can be a solid source for civilian ammo/mags. I also think those might spawn in barns.

Ok thanks ill try those locations more.

[q.S Sachiel 470]

Used to find many in the large city bars/taverns.  The two storey guys with the upstairs room with overturned tables and boxes upon boxes.

That was some time ago though.

There's only 1"S" in the word, "Sporter".

 

A "SportSter", is a Harley Davidson motorcycle.

Thank you.

[sneakydudes 278]

Bingo!!!!

 

First dear stand and i found a "Sporter" 30/30 mag. Unbelievable !!!!!

 

@biohaze thats what i get for copying and pasting someone elses error. I had to look twice and sure enough it said "Sporter" not "sportster".

 

Good catch.

 

Which i should have known better, sportster was a famous name without looking at the link supplied.

 

barns normally carry weapons in them? - found a repeater there too just now.

 

Thanks everyone for the help, now i can test the .22, Happy Hunting :beans:

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

I really enjoy the Sporter.

 

Once you get it kitted out it's a fantastic .22.

 

Cheers!

Hunter scope, 30/30 mag, amazing gun. I like it already.

Wait till you use it against players, plinging away at them :) Takes a lot of patience. I'm finding 22. mags the hardest to find at the moment. I have a good 140 rounds .308, a Winchester, a Blaze, MP5 with 2 big, two small mags and 160+ ammo, Skorpion with 3 mags and 100 shots and a CR75 with 4 magazines. Have some more guns, but these are what I use. I found 80 shots .308 today, they are not as rare as people make out. The best place for ammo (for me) is the trunk of cars. I didn't look in cars for a long time and was surprised to see they spawn quite a lot of ammo again.  I also found 2 magazines for the Amphibia ONLY in those corner houses/pubs in cities; haven't seen them anywhere else and the last mag glitched away when I tried to load the amphibia while inside a barrel. 22 Ammo on the other hand can be found anywhere, but is also quite rare. I think I find more .308 ammo than 22 cal. 9mm is definitely what I find the most of. And almost always stacked, rarely boxed; come to think of it, I actually find more .22 than shotgun shells - which is weird!

 

I used to find a lot of CR527 mags, but no more. I was running around in the far north when I found several magazines for it, before. I might go check those northern villages, starting in the east again. I'm a CQC guy, so most of these guns have no meaning to me. I don't like switching guns in combat. If you are a lot in cities and looting, a scoped rifle can really become a death sentence. Sure, you have a sidearm, but that's not what I usually have drawn. My best advice is to take off the scope when you enter a city and use it as binoculars. The lag when looking through the scope and the second it takes to adjust to it is the time an opponent needs to fire half a mag of 9mm at you and knock you out. I really don't know why I am digressing this much, I'm sure you can hold your own ^^ The sporter is fun and all, but if you like scoped rifles you should go for a Winchester. Internal magazin makes it easy to load  and if you get close enough, use your sidearm. The Sporter on the other hand is a bit of a jack of all trades. It does some sniping, but is more of a marksman rifle. It can be used to assault, but the small caliber make it less of a threat. I don't even know if it can penetrate a vest in one shot. We should really do some shooting trials to visualize how powerful each rifle is. Both the Blaze and the Winchester have range and caliber on their side. The CR527 has the best ironsight in the game. It would be great, if it weren't for the 5 shot mag. You can switch them out really fast though. I recommend the Winchester. They spawn in civilian buildings, even in schools - that's where I got mine from ;)

 

I also wanted to add that the single file barns with one open door are a good spawn for Winchester rifles.

Yeah, I realised the same thing with cars too. Not sure if it actually spawns more, or if players just check cars less.

I have only found one Amphibia mag and it was in a piano building, upstairs, on the table. This was in 0.59 exp. 

[sneakydudes 278]

I found many .22 amp clips in military, and in houses. Its random it appears.

The Sporter 10 and 30 round magazines can easily be found in most residential spawns and deer stands. The Sporter is an amazingly versatile gun. If you're using the scope, stick to 100-200m and just plink away at enemies. If you're within 100m, I would recommend you stick to iron sights. I'd also advise that you do not rush targets because the damage per second is far too low to make the gun viable for short ranges - even though the irons are only zeroed to 50m, do not get that close to your targets with a Sporter. Also try to go for headshots, because with the sheer weight of fire you'll be putting down range on targets, much like a shotgun you're going to ruin all their gear.

 

The gun is amazing at medium range and so economical when it comes to ammunition (50 round stacks and they're very easy to find!) but it isn't for the faint hearted. I generally prefer to stick to the Mosin or SKS with a PU scope if I want to engage at medium range.

I found a Sporter and a mag for it on the same day...finally. This past Sunday. I've rarely ever found them the same day. Spent hours the day before playing and getting supplies only to get head shotted in the middle of nowhere on a low pop. Ahh, the world of DayZ.

[sneakydudes 278]

i found another mag, off a buddy of mine :) but i went to grab it and the admin restarted the server at 13:44 like usual.
