Who the fuck?

The point is that this is a military simulator and the change was due to the ballistic range that affected ArmA2 and completely affected DayZ in a different way.

If you're trying to argue that this is realistic, then you should dip out of this forum and take your 1/10,000,000 theory to a Philosophy major. Nobody on this forum cares about your ridiculous circumstance.

The statistics show that it is not really 1/10,000,000. Someone trained in firing a gun is much more lethal than someone who is untrained. I am willing to bet that most of the gun shot wounds obtained in the US are by people who don't really know how to shoot a gun.

It's an interesting balance. This game doesn't take grazing bullets or flesh only wounds into account. In ARMA I've killed people instantly just by shooting them in various spots of the leg. A simple damage change wasn't a good idea but it is probably preparing people for a much more realistic damage system in ARMA III. It won't be as easy. This is preparing the DAYZ community + ARMA!

As long as your heart is still beating when you get medical treatment, you have a 95% chance of surviving gunshots.

The person in the above link was shot 20 times in close range with a rifle, and he lived.

^ Survived 37 separate bayonet, bullet and other wounds.

In fact, even getting stabbed in the heart still means you have a 1-in-3 survival chance.

Just because you see people fall down and die in the movies from a single shot, doesn't mean that happens in real life. Sure, a single bullet can kill you, but you have a pretty good damn chance of survival.

Stop watching movies and learn more about the resilience of the human body.

Ok lets fill your examples full of holes.. as it were.

#1. If you read the story fully it states firstly it was a 22 caliber rifle. This does not compare to a 45 slug or a 7.62 round. Secondly, it clearly states every shot missed vital organs. 2 rounds missed his heart by 2 inches.

How can you compare this to what we are talking about? Had it been a 45 or god forbid larger caliber.. his chances of survival were like 100million to 1. Also if you read it, it incapacitated him after the first round hit his leg. The rest was just trying to finish the job. How does this compare to emptying a m1911 clip into someone and them skipping happily away within the game?

#2 and #3. Even by the statistical average you gave, only 9.7% survived a single heart shot. How does that justify your claims of "in most cases".. sounds like 9 out of 10 times you are screwed. Also, any basic person with understanding of ballistics or wounds will tell you a knife wound is very different than a high impact round. hense why 30+% can live from a stab to the heart. The wound patterns are nothing alike.. not even in the least. The kinetic energy alone is off the charts different even in the smallest calibers compared to a knife stab. A stab in many cases closes somewhat, or just enough to prolong the life of the victim. Hense higher survival average.. just still pretty far from "most people live" as you seem to try and convince us.

Your arguments are invalid by your own admissions here.
