Dutch_Cheese 0 Posted May 10, 2016 Hey there, this is my first suggestion and i hope you guys could help me with your opinions :3 enjoy! I have been thinking for a bit and came up with an idea that in my eyes could fit the Dayz apocalypse feeling. After society breaks down, no food, guns, SCOPES, clothes etc etc etc get made it gets harder and harder to find stuff that you need to survive. Scopes for your weapons is one of them, to take out players, animals and just to practice with. Scopes now fit only on certain guns, P-U scope on a sks * correct me if theres more * hunting scope on like the winchester, blaze rifle, sporter, trumpet and others, but sometimes you just need that one scope that you cant find, and you keep finding scopes that you cannot fit on your gun. In my eyes it would be perfect for dayz to add the option that you can ductape scopes to guns. Now before people think, did this cheeses brains melt? No, maybe a bit... Back to the topic: Ductaping scopes to a fire-arm that isnt made for it will not mean that you can go sniping with a akm 1000 meters away like with a winchester, placing scopes on guns that are not fit for them means that the scopes will be extremely hard to aim and shoot with. Lets say we got a akm with silencer and drum mag, and you need to find the kashtan scope but its nowhere to be found. You keep finding PU scopes and you got ductape. You would ductape the PU scope to the akm meaning that you now can go longer ranger with it then just with the iron sight. Doing so will mean that theres peaces of ductape all over the gun/scope, when aiming you will have ductape hanging off the sides, maybe a bit infront of the scope, and the scope will * hopefully * not be 100% straight, making it like 10 degrees turned so the aim points are not lines up, and maybe even you having to aim a bit right or left to aim at the target. This would seem to be not that great of an idea but keep in mind, that over time people will start to learn how to use the scopes, and keep looking for the perfect scope while having a replacement. State your opinions and hope you agree with my idea :) Any additions or so?

Whyherro123 2283 Posted May 10, 2016 Nope. You do realize that "scopes" require specialized equipment to mount to rifles in real life for a reason, right? Bullets don't just magically go where the scope is pointing. The mounting equipment for the scope is there so the trajectory for the bullet matches up with the markings on the scope. Not to mention that the gradation lines/dots are often marked for specific calibers. Taking a scope intended for use with 7.62x54mm and trying to use it on a rifle chambered in 5.56x45mm will tend to fuck all kinds of duck. Sure, you can technically zero in the scope with the new bullets ....after firing off A LOT of bullets. In the post-apocalypse where bullets won't be produced any more, that is really wasteful. Not to mention that you are going to have to re-zero the scope after almost every shot. Duct-taping scopes onto rifles has been mentioned before, many times, and it has been shot down, many times. It is, to be quite frank, a stupid idea. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be impossible to keep any kind of zero on a scope mounted with duct tape so effectively would have no use other than a binocular. There is no advantage to it, the direction of the bullet would be completely unpredictable with each shot. Even iron sights at medium to long distances would give a better chance of a hit. So it's a bad idea. Sorry dat ik je idee afkraak als mede Nederlander maar het is gewoon een idee dat te ver afstaat van de realiteit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tweet doesn't make much sense after the status report, so I suspect the guy managing the Twitter that day was wrong, but who knows. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
