Holy shit I found an AS50... in a Station House!!

[Pro (DayZ) 6]

Hello,

So about 2-3 days ago I started playing DayZ again after a 2 week break and I was looting Electro today looking for a decent gun to go along side my MP5SD6, so I go into a Station House went to the second or third floor (I think it was second) and to my surprise I found a AS50... I was like HOLY SHIT seeing as this is my first High Tier Sniper I've found! (Unless you consider a DMR High Tier) it had 2 bullets already in the gun. Now my question is who is crazy enough to drop an AS50?! I mean even if it did have only 2 rounds with it. Well thanks to the guy who dropped it though. Lucky that I carry around rounds for guns that I don't have, (I had a 10 round M107 Mag that is compatibly with an AS50 ^_^)

Well for players like me, there are plenty of guns i would drop a AS50 for.....the only reason i pick up AS50's/snipers..is if a friend wants them.

Not that it was me, but it COULD have been me.

Hmm I see you're not a sniper, that's actually really surprising seeing as like 80% players on this game are Snipers.

(of course to those who actually find a Sniper)

I allways had/would drop it again when finding an NVG compatible sniperrifle (DMR).

Exactly the reason why I quit Dayz for a while... cause of dupers -.-

Hmm even then I probably wouldn't drop it but I guess everyone has their own opinion/ choices ^_^

It depends on your play style, I have a few sniper rifles, but I still mainly equip an M4A3 CCO everywhere I go, or an M16 variant. Because I prefer them, they are good for close quarter combat and can still be effective at ranges I'm realistically going to be fighting at. I'm not a bandit, so I don't need to shoot 800+ meters away to pointlessly murder an unsuspecting survivor. That's the only reason people need that sort of range. To be dicks. :thumbsup:. Well, that, or to hunt down bandits, which is the only respectable thing to do with a sniper in DayZ.

My preferred sniper is actually the M14 AIM, which again suits my play style. I wouldn't think twice about dropping an AS50 if it was all I had and I found an M14 AIM with a few mags or an M16A4 ACOG or an L85A2 AWS or one of many other weapons that I prefer to snipers. The only reason I keep them is to either give them to friendly people I meet, or to hunt down some bandits from a friendly tip off. And to just stop others having them.

My group has an ongoing challenge to see who can hit a cow the furthest with an as50 at night. I think my buddy Chimpy is the record holder at 400 meters. That strikes me as a respectable use of .50 BMG ammo.

400m with an AS50? That's pretty poor shooting, even in the dark lol.

I'll see if I can get you an item off your trade wishlist if you get fraps of you doing better.
