AS50 TWS Legit or scripted?

[dannyboy92 (DayZ) 36]

Hello, just found an AS50 TWS of a guy we shot out of a chopper who were raiding our base.

Original thread: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/37287-hacker-norway-4/

Is this a legit weapon? Or may this be my proof of hacking?

I have never seen AS50 TWS in DayZ and I asked my friends who played the game a long time and they have never seen it drop or looted it off anyone ingame either.

Sounds to me like someone used a hack/script to get items unavailable to others. Which, sadly, isn't too uncommon in the game.

It's hacked, don't pick it up. Hide body.

Already picked up i am afraid : /Dropping it again onto the body. Its an AS50 with an thermal sight

Put my primary weapon M4A3 CCO in my backpack when picking up the sniper, and ofc its gone. Damn. Oh well, finding a new weapon shouldnt be that hard.

Do i need to submit a ticket to DayZ Developers about this incident? Or do they read the forums etc?
