DMR = Advantages - Common Ammo

20 Bullets per mag

Can combine ammo into 4, 5Rnd M24 mags and back to get a full clip

Easy, Self-zeroing using mil dots

Can use the scope with NVGs

1 shot to the legs = Broken Legs

Common weapon spawn in military spawns (If you die, it's easy to get back and not that much of a hassle)

Disadvantages - Not a 1 hit kill (Approx Dmg - 8k per shot)

No PgU and PgD zeroing method (Not really a big deal, I like the mil dots on the DMR better than the PgU and PgD zeroing anyways)

AS50/M107 = Advantages - 1 Hit Kill

Insane long distance zeroing (M107, 1.2km AS50, 1.6km. Not that you can even see that far in DayZ)

Good against vehicles

Good zoom (It's a toggle zoom on the AS50)

Disadvantatges - Loud as FUCK

Ammo not that common besides on other players who have the gun, or heli crashes which could be (Most likely) already looted.

Can't use NVGs

M4A Series/M16A Series = Advantages - Fully auto/Burst fire

Ammo Common

Ok DMG

Decent range (300m w/o bullet drop, can shoot farther with. This is excluding the M4 SD and M16 ACOG)

Silencer (M4 SD version)

ACOG/Holo sight (M16 ACOG/M4 Holo)

Grenade Launcher (M16 M203 and M4 Holo)

Common spawn chance (Not M4 Holo/SD/M16 M203/M16 ACOG)

Disadvantages - REALLY bad bullet drop (M4 SD)

Not good for CQC while scoped (M16 ACOG)

Can't hit targets at 700-800m+ without difficulty

CCO Scope (Sucks)

Other Snipers (M24, CZ 550, M14 <- Not a sniper with CCO scope but still good with range)

Advantages - Good range plus can use mil dots for farther range than the 800m zeroing (M24, CZ 550)

Decent range and 20 Rnd Mag (M14)

Can combine rounds to DMR/M24 mags (M14 and M24)

Semi-Auto (M14)

Good power (Approx same as DMR)

Disadvantages - Scope is awkward, for me at least (CZ)

Bolt action, can't fire shots quickly (CZ and M24)

Not 1 hit kill

Melee weapons (Hatchets, Crowbars)

Advantages - Silent

Can disorientate enemies

Able to be put into tool belt for cutting wood (Hatchet)

Disadvantages - Weak

No ammo (Crowbar)

Shotguns (M1014, Remington, Winchester, Double Barrel)

Advantages - Good CQC

Selection of ammo (Slugs and Pellets)

Combination of ammo (From Double Barrel to Remington/M1014 and Vice Versa)

Disadvantages - Not so good power

No far distance combat

Has a flashlight (Remington)

Pistols (M1911, Revolver, Makarov, G17, PDW, M9 Variations)

Advantages - Common Ammo

Good for zombie killing

Quiet

Can use any 9mm magazine (PDW)

Flashlight (G17)

Can combine magazines (M1911 to Revolver and Vice Versa)

Disadvantages - No power what so ever VS players

Inaccurate at long distances

LMG (MK 48 Mod 0, M249 SAW, M240)

Advantages - Powerful

Clips are 100-200RNDS

Good range

High rate of fire

Disadvantages - Loud

Long reload time

High recoil

Other rifles (MP5, L85, FN FAL, Lee Enfield)

Advantages - Uses stanag mags (L85)

Thermal and Night vision scopes (L85 and FN FAL (Only NV))

Good power

Good range

Medium Noise (L85/MP5)

Disadvantages - Ammo not common (MP5, FN FAL)

Loud (FN FAL, Lee Enfield)

Dimmed down power (Lee Enfield)

Terrible power (MP5/MP5 SD)

Misc (Crossbow)

Advantages - Silent

Disadvantages - Basically everything

This list is in MY opinion and from what I have experienced both in and out of DayZ (Out of DayZ being ArmA). I haven't listed everything in terms of disadvantages and advantages because it's 3 AM but hope this helps. Tell me if I missed any weapons so I could add them whenever.

I'd personally go with the DMR (My favorite and most enjoyable weapon to kill with) but use whatever floats your boat man.
