jdotjdot7 6 Posted July 15, 2012 I traded it to my friend for his M14 AIM :) ... I suck at snipers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syndicatefaction 118 Posted July 15, 2012 FYI, M14 Aim is essentially a sniper rifle. 1 hit kill and effective up to like 400 meters with accuracy. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monstrous Treachery 7 Posted July 15, 2012 It's not hard. Use range-finders to get range, set your zeroing in, aim at target with the mil-dot. Win. One shot one kill, 140,000 damage with one bullet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katana67 2907 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I stuck with an M14 AIM for a long time, great all-purpose weapon.I think we need more mid-magnification recce rifles.I used to use a CZ 550 as my recce rifle when they were common spawns, but have just opted to keep an AR as a primary and a sniper rifle in my backpack.Include the Mk 12 SPR!ACS modifications for the win! Day Z needs this! Would help to alleviate some of the balance issues if we just found bone-stock weapons and had to scrounge for the modifications!

jdotjdot7 6 Posted July 15, 2012 Well, im more of a Sneak up behind them and take them out kinda guy, not the hide way up in the tree line and snipe them kinda guy. ALthough i did kill 3 snipers by running up behind them with a crossbow and a revolver... Somehow they all had NVGs Range FInders and GPS... with patrol packs (obviously hacked in....) But it was funny to take on people with CZs M24s and M14s by dancing around them witha revolver :). Dont worry though guysThe M14 I traded for had ~200 shots :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KField86 237 Posted July 15, 2012 M14 is a great weapon. My favorite battle rifle. It can reach out and touch something as long as you can acquire the target with the CCO optics. Would I take it over an AS-50? No way, since I'm pretty skilled with a sniper rifle in DayZ/Arma II and have been practicing with them since before DayZ was even out. I'm comfortable with my M107 out to around 1000m and I've hit targets at that range many times. Furthest I've hit was a shade under 1200, and it was a very hard shot. Bullet took almost 3 seconds to hit the target. They were looting. If they weren't, I would of never hit them. The chance for someone to move slightly left or right in those 3 seconds it takes to reach the target is very high, so your shot window is very small. It's almost a "Must be looting" situation. If I was gearing up and found an M14, I'd be a very happy man. It's a DMR without the scope, and it packs a punch. But with my current kit I have no need for one. I have my weapon for long engagements, and my weapon for close quarters engagements where I need to keep it quiet and also for dropping a zed without alerting a player to my current position.

nuclearaddict 15 Posted July 15, 2012 AS50 isn't worth it, anyway. I'd rather use a CZ550, to be honest. Whenever I've fired it I attract aggro from MILES away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gruelius 16 Posted July 15, 2012 id take AS50 over CZZ but id take DMR or M24 over it. I usually carry a M24 for sniping and a M14 AIM for close range.we lost 2 m107's and an AS50 when we got robbed. my response was MEH. i was cheesed about the NVGS though...
