Eastern and Western weapon balance + weapon ideas

[Gordon Axeman 191]

Chernarus is a post-soviet country. But somewhy we can see m4 and m16 everywhere, with much more variants than ak has in DayZ. And so far we have only 1 Russian sniper rifle vs. 4 American ones. So is this a post-soviet country or an American state?

My suggestions are simple:

1) Reduce the spawn rate of American arms 2x. Some may be even cut out of the game (like m16 acog or as50). But mostly they should remain.

2) Add these weapons:

Abakan: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/91/Izhmash_Nikonov_AN-94_GP-34.jpg

It's the modified AK. Uses the same AK rounds, but is more accurate and less louder.

RPK: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Machine_Gun_RPK.jpg

Everyone knows this machine gun. Very strange that it's not in game yet.

TT: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/Pistol_TT33.jpg

Well-known Soviet pistol, should be common in these places.

MC-116M: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/54/MTs-116M_IDELF-2008.jpg

Sniper rifle. Effective range - up to 600m, uses SVD ammo.

SVL: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ru/b/b8/СВУ_винтовка.jpg

Sniper rifle. Effective range - up to 2km using .408 Chey-Tac rounds.

Saiga 12K: http://www.arsenal-plys.ru/image.php?link=images/glad/izhmash/saiga12.jpg&name=Сайга-12%20исп.%205-1%20дерево

Legendary Russian hunting rifle.

3) Remove Winchester and Lee enfield, replace with these:

MR-18 EM-M: http://www.arsenal-plys.ru/image.php?link=images/glad/baikal/mr18em_ber.jpg&name=МР-18ЕМ-М%20(калибр%2012,%20ствол%20L710)

Hunting rifle. 12 gauge, 6 rnd. clip.

MR-153: http://www.arsenal-plys.ru/image.php?link=images/glad/baikal/mr153_plast.jpg&name=МР-153%20(калибр%2012,%20ствол%20L710)

Self-defence weapon. 12 gauge, 10 rnd. clip.

TOZ 78-01: http://www.arsenal-plys.ru/image.php?link=images/narez/toz/toz78.jpg&name=ТОЗ%2078-01

Hunting carbine. Winchester gauge, 10 rounds per clip.

Thanks for your time!

I think the as50 is UK and the m107 is US

Foreign anyway.

Hello there

if the game is to remain based in the eastern block then the amount of Western weapons in game should be almost nil.

For the standalone they may well be modelling new weapons, but for the mod why not use the OPFOR armoury included within A2?

There's lots of AK variants, suppressed rifles and long range rifles etc etc. The Western weapons and ammo should be uber ultra rare IMHO.

They talked about the weapons for standalone.. There probably will be different ones seen in it. Just right now it was limited by the weapons in Arma 2, or something like that. I agree completely with seeing more RU guns compared to all the other ones.. Also, less high powered weapons. ;)

if you go to a weapon store you find a lot of foreign rifles..and for the army, they have ordenance weapons, for example we italians have italian carbines for our army but you see also battalions with foreign rifles or smgs. and those .50 should be extremely rare, still talking about italy our army has about 5 or 6 of them in the whole country.

but probably in the former eastern block they have all the versions of the ak serie so more of them would fit better in dayz. but probably the more realistic solution is a lot of hunting rifles and big variety of pistols

A big variety of pistols is not necessary. In any country there are 4-5 good models, armed everywhere. No more is needed IMHO.

What about the fuckin Base (NW Airfield) on the map? Why are people saying there should be almost no chance of American weapons when there is a US base on this map?

Let them spawn not everywhere. US weapons in deer stands and stary is really stupid.

Play Arma 2(you know, the game you bought?) campaign and be amazed by the reason for that. Well you don't even have play it just google it.
