0only1 4 Posted July 16, 2012 +1 This exactly what I was thinking would improve the gun fights and make them last longer considering you ll be able to fight for your wounded team8s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorgold 91 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Defibrillators are used to revive people from cardiac arrest caused by heart attack, electrical shock, or blunt trauma interrupting a normal heartbeat.Gunshot wounds do not cause death by cardiac arrest. They cause hydrostatic shock, which literally explodes the brain with overpressure waves from the force of the bullet propagating through your bloodstream. The reason the heart stops is because your brain stops. The other way your heart is stopped by a bullet is hypovolemia, which is quite literally running out of blood to pump.The only case in which a defibrillator could save you from a bullet would is if you went into hypovolemic shock and your heart stopped. The defibrillator would restart your heart, but you'd still be on the cusp of death and dangerously low on bodily fluids.But once you're dead, you're dead. A defibrillator will not bring someone back from brain death. This isn't BF3 or L4D. Edited July 16, 2012 by thorgold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lightnings0ul 19 Posted July 16, 2012 People still arguing about realism in DayZ are so nice - making me laugh all the time.Please get that there are only gameplay decisions - so if a freaking zombie dragon would make the game better THERE SHOULD BE ONE... (btw. I am not saying that it is - just that arguing about realism in videogames is like arguing about god) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyrog 10 Posted July 16, 2012 Saying " But there are all other kinds of things that ain't realistic so my idea is valid " doesn't make any sense.Making stuff more realistic is the way to go. Adding some more unrealistic stuff isn't helping. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0only1 4 Posted July 16, 2012 Since when morphine makes you been able to walk and run like nothing happened ? It's the same with defibrillators, it's not such big deal if they would be rare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0only1 4 Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) The other option would be not getting killed after just one shot to the body. You should be able to stay down under some cover after taken the first few bullets and start bleeding with broken bones and in shock or unconscious and stay there until you bleed out, while m8s got the chance to revive you and carry you away while clearing the war conditions as much as could this be possible. Cause right now you either get one shoted to the body ko or you spent like a whole magazine of mp5 and they don't die.
