GrendelZ 10 Posted August 9, 2012 So I was looting a place when a server hopper appeared a few buildings away, watched him on my binocs I guess he was bleeding because he just keeled over dead. I go next to him and find a FN FAL with a night scope on it.... now I have a m4 cco with 5 sd ammo ... but looking down on a more powerful weapon with one clip.... I decided to take it. I get to safety and check the wiki in case I got a hacked weapon, nope, weapon was legit. Well at least the wiki says so. I logged out and now im thinking.... just how rare is this ammo? I realized that I barely remember finding FN FAL ammo, and if this character finds NV I don't really need that NV scope. Did I make a bad trade? FN FAL AN/PVS-4 20 shots ..... hmmm.

Myth`~ 46 Posted August 9, 2012 You won't find much ammo for it unless you're raiding high-value loot spots all the time.Assault rifles are just a matter of opinion. I have an M4 cco sd and it's the only rifle I'll ever want or need. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hetstaine 10852 Posted August 9, 2012 bad trade imo too..unless you are just using it to scope with and have another primary weapon ? as a stand in for nv it is probably not too bad a deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SP45M 240 Posted August 9, 2012 Just the opposite in fact the gun is useless without nvg as it leaves you blind. Bad choice imo the gun is junk unless you want to only play at night and have nvg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulc 13 Posted August 9, 2012 you better be damn good with that gun because 20 shots isn't very much since you will now need to farm Crash Sites for Ammo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Afgoo 114 Posted August 9, 2012 At least you got to use one? That's a plus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sya 55 Posted August 9, 2012 Or trade for ammo.Forum spontaneously shows 5 recent posts of people wanting to trade FN FAL ammo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeHeHe 38 Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah, i'd hope to make a trade on the forum with a trusted source. I think you could get a solid AK with a few mags for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrendelZ 10 Posted August 9, 2012 Awww crap. Well.... at least it will be fun looking for another gun. I WAS looking for the sd version of my m4 cco since I had so much sd ammo, but its been almost a week so i gave up. And at least I've got to see what this gun is and stay away from it in the future. BTW, DAYZ BS, that optic CAN be switch to a "daytime" mode, what happened? Switch break off when the Helicopter crashed? derp :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But then again, we have an L85 that can see through walls and grass, so I dunno. Maybe a gun with NV is too overpowered? <_< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrHellNo 11 Posted August 9, 2012 Despite how uncommon the gun, and espcially the ammo, is, it is incredibly mediocre.It has a lot of stopping power but the recoil is just way too much .Also despite there being a scoped version it's fairly inaccurate and ridiculously loud.IMO the FAL is a weaker version of the AKM. Larger clip, about the same range (only slightly less than the FAL actually), more accurate, not as crazy loud and the weapon itself is fairly common, as with the mags.

AKM is an awesome gun though and with coming ammo logging will imo become the AR of choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrendelZ 10 Posted August 9, 2012 Well I got alpha bugged, oh well. Logged back in to replace the Fn Fal AVS, but instead I open my back pack and find the m4 cco I dropped along with its SD ammo. My old mp5sd is gone along with other items I picked up after I looted that server hopper, I really liked that mp5sd. To get around this bug in the future is it better to log out with the primary you prefer in your hands? Or do bugs like this always happen when looting server jumpers?

Banicks 55 Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Bad trade as said.FN FAL + ammo will only drop from heli-crash sites, so basically to find ammo for the FAL you have to find crash sites.The best possible combo IMO is the DMR (barracks/hanger/crash site) and M14 (crash site) - they utilise the same ammo (DMR) so you only have to worry about carrying one kind of ammo. I had this combo and it was great for long range sniping and mid/close range with the red dot scope that was attached to the M14.It's not really a bug, moreso a revert from lack of server to master server communication. I think you're better off now. Edited August 9, 2012 by Banicks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrendelZ 10 Posted August 9, 2012 I actually like the m14, very nice weapon. But in DAY Z, it is just too fricking loud, I like the grass/tree effects in the game and the mp5sd is just soooo quiet, perfect for the dense woods. I'd trade the fal/m4 for it anytime. Except when people use that f****** e****** to see through trees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
