SAFETY for your weapons

[wallace71 3]

I can't be the only one whose middle finger tends to slip off the middle mouse button and onto the left button, equating in death? also I get a stupid glitch where whenever I climb deer stands with my M16A2 raised I fire off a shot in triumph (without clicking the lmb) of finding a deer stand :dodgy: (probably a mouse thing but eh)

ACE had a simple safety, it was in your fire modes. hit f until you see SAFETY in caps. then you can click and click and nothing will happen. most guns have safeties, so maybe only include safeties on guns that have them IRL? (military weapons and pistols, dunno if the 1886 had it although it probably did)

sorry if there is already a thread about this, but thought it needed to be said

Double-tap Ctrl to lower your rifle, press fire once to raise it, press fire again to shoot.

Or press G(gear), look in the left window of your inventory and press the left arrow at your magazines <STANAG> untill all are dropped on the ground, press the right arrow and pick all the magazines up again. Your ammo count in the corner should show 0/6 instead of 30/5, now you need to press reload before you can fire.

I am aware about the Ctrl system, I'm a veteran Arma player, but this does take time, and a simple press of the f button to include a different "fire mode" if it were. appreciate the post though

Although I've never personally had a problem maintaining trigger discipline (either in RL or with a simple mouse), I can see the attraction to this for some people, especially for finnicky alt-tabbing (can open the menu to prevent mis-fire, but still). I think it'd be nice, so long as it isn't overly difficult to impliment, although in my opinion other features should be put higher on the priority list.

Not overly necessary.

But it could be a nice simple addition later down the track because raising weapons or fiddling with ammo can be a pain in the ass.

Agree with WWWallace71. Essentially an application of the ACE mod (or a specialized DayZ ACE mod) would be nice. Other features there would be useful too.

who rests their finger on the left mouse button? Any time you're not shooting the thing you're gunna want to use is the action menu. Rest it on the mouswheel... and lower your weapon.

How is it that people think a fire mode would be less fucking around than lowering your weapon? Say you're carrying chemlights and flares, and a grenade or two. Have fun pressing f like 5 times before you can fire.
