M107 taking up backpack space?

[matthew-wang@sbcglobal.net 0]

When I equip the m107, it takes up my inventory space. Is this supposed to happen? Does it categorize as something similar to the rocket launcher? However, if put the m107 into my backpack, and then take it out of the pack, i keep my pack but can't access it. :O

Yes, it's supposed to do that. That gun is BIG.

Intended. The ability to easily 1 shot people 1000 meters away doesn't come cheap. Too bad there is a lack of such opportunities in chenarus. Perhaps if we were in takistan it might be more useful.

I found one of those suckers before the latest patch. I picked it up and hoofed out of the NW airfield a few kilometers. Then I realized I lost my pack.

Oh well, at least I have Bertha; the Giant slayer.

Id drop my pack in a second for one. The group of people i play with gladly support the players who find them. If you are playing solo, it might not be the best decision to go for it. Especially considering how easy it is to spot a player from long distances who has one.

It'll all be worth it if you ever see a hovering helicopter though. Hell in that case, it is almost worth it to buy a second ARMA account as a dedicated anti-vehicle sniper.

Yeah, the gun is massive. One can easily snipe everyone in Elektrozavodsk from a mile away if you had binoculars and a good eye. Some people might already do it now.

I guess it does make sense. I keep getting a weird bug though where I sometimes keep my backpack if I take out the m107 from my backpack. The backpack doesn't show up in my inventory, but if I look behind me, I can still see my pack. If I find out more of this bug, I might take advantage of it :D. lol

Its a bug actually, it shouldn't take up secondary slot. I believe rocket fixed it by adding alternative version on M107 but forgot to change it in loot tables. I'll post about this on dev-heaven.

As far as realism goes I would love to see anybody lug a m107 around for over a click without being a actually trained sniper let alone have a heavy back pack also. I had to carry one up 3 stories in a building in Iraq once...

Never again.

Roughly 15kg arent they?

30 some odd pounds or 14 KG.

Still heavy and would never want to carry one over a distance of 100 yards. But sooooo awesome when they are fired though.

Also, each full box mag is @ 4lbs/1.85kg.

Oh, so sometime in the near future, it will stop dropping my pack whenever I use it? :D

It takes up your secondary slot in vanilla Arma2 as well. The only one that doesn't is AS50 from BAF DLC. Although why one does and the other doesn't is strange :) (both in their newer versions weight about the same, m107 is slightly longer).

And I beg to differ, a heavy sniper rifle like this should take up secondary slot just like a MG does. These are squad level weapons, and best stay so IMNSHO :)

If you haven't got any ammo left, you should be able to drop it on someone's head.

m240 doesn't take up your secondary slot though. :O That thing is huge too.

A good solution is to find a vehicle and put it in its trunk, because then you can store more beans in your backpack, good sir.
