Weapon modification/disassembly

[unfunny_comedian 0]

I'm suggesting that you be able to disassemble a weapon into its main components: bolt, barrel etc. for a system that causes your weapon to degrade in quality over time if it is not cleaned after use with a weapon cleaning kit. so as the barrel degrades the weapon becomes less   accurate, and if the bolt degrades the weapon will jam more often and may even ruin your ammo.

Additionally i believe you could swap out these components to have different effects on your weapon like a longer barrel will increase accuracy but decrease stability, a shorter barrel would meant your weapon takes up less space in your backpack, or one bolt would increase ROF but increase recoil and the chance of your weapon jamming.

Another idea i have is the ability to change caliber, you may not have lots of 5,56 but 9mm you have plenty of, you could switch out your bolt, barrel and magazine and be able to use a different caliber.

Maybe for Dayz 2, but not for this one, I much rather have them work on all the other necessary and vital functionalities.

I think for Dayz 'weapon cleaning' should be enough to keep you guns from further degrading. A degraded gun should have slightly less accuracy, jams, and cannot be brought to a higher quality state then 'worn' using the cleaning weapon kit. Cleaning a weapon should involve taking off all the attachments, and then a weapon cleaning animation should be shown - so players cannot instantly clean their guns during a fight.
