Suggestions for where weapons spawn.

[Izaac Howe 4]

I think that the static gas zone loot is very strange at the moment. I think the best weapons should be in the gas zones but there are many mediocre weapons that spawn within these gas zones such as the K-AM and VSD. I am not saying these weapons are terrible but they should replace some better weapons that are found out of the gas zones. Such as replacing the DMR with the VSD. The DMR is better than the VSD in almost every way but is much more common. Also the KA-101 could replace the K-AM. This would make sense as I believe the KA-101 has higher damage and better recoil control. At the moment it is very hard to high-loot areas without being met with a face full of 308s from a DMR. This is just my opinion. Thanks for reading.

nah, I think it would be cool to add pistols on gas zones

Gas zones are such a dumb idea, i think 70% of DayZ players have never even been there because it is so much effort. What they should do is make it so it is guaranteed a high value gun however make it very rare for it to spawn in the millitary bases. The most popular dayz server literally has them turned off, which should tell the devs something.

Given that I'm a little behind on the tests (there must be some patches that I haven't done new tests) and specifying that I do them against bears, which are my main "problem" (I don't do "man hunting")... since what I understood a few patches ago, the 7.62x39 (KA-M) is a little better than the 5.56x45 (M4-A1), but they could have changed with the latest patches.
But even if they were the same, with the 7.62x39 you have the advantage that it is considered a hunting ammunition, and you can find it everywhere, while the 5.56x45 is a war ammunition, and you necessarily have to look for it in military areas with all the "problems " that follows.
Lately I've also started to consider the 5.56x45, but only because the AUR-AX (exchangeable sight and silencer) can be found in military convoys, while KA-M & M4-A1 are very rare and can only be found in gassed areas ( too difficult and complicated for little and rare loot). The M16-A2, LE-MAS and AUR-A1 I don't even consider them.
The best as "anti-bear" is undoubtedly the Vaiga with buckshot (when they work well) and you can find the 20 round magazine in military convoys. But even with the 8 size one, if the bear doesn't catch you off guard, you can take it down without major problems. Better to have another spare, ready and on the quickbar for on-the-fly changes, anyway...
The KA-101 only mounts the Soviet sights which I don't like. The best one I always look for is the ATOG6x48, too bad it can't be mounted on Soviet weapons (without mods).
