Gamer11795 3 Posted July 5, 2012 I would like to hear people's experiences with 12 gauge slugs in PvP, because so far my experiences are terrible! :(Yesterday, ambushed two dudes at Balota leaving the main road, clipped 2 rounds into the first guy @ 180-ish meters and he goes prone (I assume I broke bones) . His partner advances up, I shoot a cleeeeean shot at 50m he tanks it and flanks my tree to kill me. I didn't have really good gear on me, and it was my first time dying in a while that wasn't from suicide because of spawning on the debug plains so I wasn't too angsty.But just now, I got 2 clean shots at some dude on the hospital on top of Cherno, around 120m-ish distance and my partner also got an M1911 shot on him, but he doesn't die and is able to Alt-F4 out... At this point, I'm thinking it's just me, but I'd like to hear other people's experiences with 12g slugs before I ditch this M10. :huh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red_orchestra@msn.com 112 Posted July 5, 2012 Yeah, you should drop it. Try Lee Enfield if you like slow but powerful guns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gamer11795 3 Posted July 5, 2012 I killed someone with Revolver and took his AK-74 kobra with no regrets lol. Not going to risk it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Denuth 21 Posted July 5, 2012 I shot a buddy in the leg with my revolver and he almost died, had 2k blood left. Try that instead lol. Oh, and don't shoot your buddy in the leg, they get mad lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qla 0 Posted July 5, 2012 1 shot killed 4 players from 40-50 meters with an m1014. The effectivity of an slug drops drastically when the target is more than a ~75 meters away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gamer11795 3 Posted July 5, 2012 Ah I see, it didn't take long for me to start doubting DayZ wiki's claim that 12g slugs are effective up to 250m... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheDraken 19 Posted July 5, 2012 slugs are awesome up close. suck at range.just like IRL? der. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Q 3 Posted July 5, 2012 At about 100 yards, you've got to do so much compensation for the gun's range that you can't do it with the iron sights. However, the slugs *can* still kill, albiet you need to hit the target more than once. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red_orchestra@msn.com 112 Posted July 5, 2012 Well a lot of this game takes place in big outdoor areas. makes sense shotties aren't going to be so cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdz (DayZ) 238 Posted July 5, 2012 I've killed someone from over 200m away with the Winchester, wasn't hard but took a few shots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cureforyou@gmail.com 0 Posted July 5, 2012 I've only used a shotgun with slugs in pvp a couple of times. But it drops people real good if they are fairly close (100-200 meters). Actually, 200 meters may be pushing it. I've had good experiences though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
