[Trubs (DayZ) 0]

Hey guys i'm looking to trade my FN FAL which i got today from a heli crash site for a sniper rifle other than the CZ 550. Please post here and add me on steam as Trubs if you are interested!

Thanks

I'll give you a rock, it works well. You just aim and shoot. 1 hit kill. Does 49k blood damage. My fav weapon but im looking for a better one.

On a serious note, have fun trading this thing, it has very limited ammo.

I should have mentioned, I have 40 shots for it. It isn't bad when it is a 1 shot kill to survivors

2 shot* 8.2k damage per shot. But yes it is a nice gun and those 2 mags will make the gun very trade able if you find the right person.

Only two mags? Next time, try getting more.

Also, why not the CZ550? What's wrong with it?

dayZ wiki disagrees with you but i'll take your word for it :)

20 shots, is 10 kills on average, it is more then necissary

I know, I love the FN Fal, but 2 magazines does not go that far if you intend to kill anyone.

Also, 20 rounds means 10 kills against unmoving, or close range targets. In a real firefight, you will probably open up on a moving target. That means missing. As well as distant enemies (Iron sights on FN Fal, terrible for extended ranged combat) and what happens if they show up or try to retreat in a vehicle, will you just not fire?

10 kills for 20 rounds on average? No. Average players might get 3 or 4. Above average might get 8. Only perfect shots, or well placed headshots will net you equal or more than 10.

You obviously aren't any of the above :) A real bandit, only fires when he knows it's a hit, if not a hit, he will hide.. an wait, ever weary. Edited August 13, 2012 by MOTOCROSS

The FN FAL is a terrible weapon to be honest...Draws crowds of zombies from everywhere. Worse than the Enfield. The M16 and the AK 74 seem to be the best (common) assault rifles.

I find FN FALs at just about every crash site and wouldn't even touch them. Good luck trying to use it as a PvP weapon. It will notify everyone in the area of your position when you fire it. If you fire it in an enclosed space, prepare for infinite waves of zombies after your brains...blocking all the exits.

only 8k damage a shot. 2 hits on a full survivor

I'm not a bandit, and I don't believe I have ever said I was. Also, at close range you don't fire two rounds and wait to see if they die. And don't forget the burst mode.

Here's a little story. I had an FN Fal, and found a person running around on top of a hill. I stopped, aimed and fired 5 rounds into him. Then I died.

He died no less than 15 seconds later. Either by lag, server desync or whatever, he lived long enough with 5 .308 rounds in his stomach to kill me. My buddy secured the area, and it turns out he was alone and got 1 round off with his AK74 Kobra. 5 rounds from the FN Fal is a hell of a lot more than 12k blood. But he managed to get that one round off, and live another 15 seconds.

At first, I thought he was a hacker. But when he died, I decided he was just lagging. And if you fire once and wait, you'll almost never get a kill with only 8k damage per round. They'll DC, run away or fire back and kill you. And I don't camp on hills overlooking loot spawns, so people don't usually sit still for me unless they are trying to snipe my bait.

Ak74 and variants do less than 3k damage per round, with terrible recoil if you even attempt full auto. Single rounds won't net you a kill very quickly. Do you mean the AKM? It does 4555 per round, and has better recoil control.

Also, the Lee Enfield now does 6.7k damage per round, and compared to the same effective range and iron sights as the FN Fal, as well as less fire rate and less ammunition per magazine, it isn't a better weapon. Sorry. I, too, miss the old Enfield.

Yeah..i either leave them at heli wrecks or pick them up just to waste the zeds around the heli and then throw them away. Ak74 kob any day of the week, shit i would even take the akm and i dont even really like it that much..hell damn..i would rather have two maks! WELL SHIT ME..YOU COULDNT GIVE ME THAT DAMN THING IF IT WAS COVERED IN LESBIANS!! ..hey ..wait up_..

i have this sweet yellow flashlight! lol wow all this bitching about the FN FAL, that gun is a beast. I dropped so many fools at the NW airstrip with it , so have no idea why you all fail so hard with it. if you shoot people in the face they die faster.
