So far so good. Ive got some input here for bullets and their power...

9mm

Effective for light to no armored combatants. Maybe could be used with some knockback mechanic?

.380

Could be used as more stopping power/ more chance to stun/knock back?

.308

Very powerful, could set the standard for balance??? From there maybe you can balance out the damage of the 5.56 rounds?

.45

My favorite rounds. Takes out zombies in one hit like the 7.62 and 5.56. fun to burn though and with the FX45 it just feels amazing to let loose.

5.56

Good zombie killer one shot kill to zombies now that hit reg is working great. but i feel like im wasting my 7.62 ammo on a zombie when i could be using 5.56

7.62

pretty good round and common more so in airfields than i would have thought. Takes out a zombie in one round times..feels like im wasting damage or bullets because 5.56 does the same thing.

 

Perhaps the .308 would be king, limited to the higher powered weapons and make sure those who find such late game weapons feel as if they got something good and reliable. Comparing to the 7.62/5.56 and .45, all these calibers do about the same damage, and i know youre looking into damage balance so perhaps look at this please.

.45 will drop a zombie and my zeroed usg45 with zero will drop a player, but has bullet weight and penetration been looked at?

 

Please look at the power of the cartridge being used to balance the damage and please refer to the plate carrier as maybe king tier defense.

a good scale...what exactly are the devs wanting to accomplish with a damage rework?

Also, i really hope they think about penetration and the grain of the bullet and its weight. Its going to be alot of work but i think with this in mind you could find some good balance.
