Tracers?

[Pureevuls 4]

Hi there, me and my friends were playing in Elektro regrouping after spawning all over the place with the new update.

And after a few close calls with people going down, we retreated to the hills to log off for the night.

One of us decided to start taking shots at zombies in the distance, seeing how far we can hit with the lee enfield and CZ, when i decided to run down to the supermarket and grab some supplies. On my way back all three of my clan mates are killed. I see what i can only describe as "lazer beams" or tracer rounds.

I've looked around on the internet and can't find any information on this, nobody was around, and no-one is looting the bodies.

We are all baffled to what happened.

Can anyone enlighten me?

It sounds like tracer fire. I've not seen it in DayZ yet but in Arma every fifth round is a tracer shell. It helps with firefights at night.

M249, M240, MK48 all have tracer fire, i have seen clanmates using them and seen tracers bouce 90degrees off rocks and vehicles.

Yeah we presumed it was an LMG of sorts, the Gunfire sounded really heavy and the rate of fire was definately not a sniper. Cheers for clearing that up:)

i think they should make almost all the weapons have tracer fire m16s you pick up at a military base should be loaded with them but pistols and rifles you get in barns and stores shouldnt
