What are sandwiches and fairy cakes weapons wise?? :D

What about single-shot disposable LAW launchers? They're more compact, give you one chance to use it, and usually something like an RPG would be used in ambush situations against vehicle convoys if things ever progress that far (find a bottleneck, take out the lead vehicle with the launcher then pepper the other cars with assault rifle rounds)

The ammo system was the same since 2001, maybe due to balancing reasons, maybe due to limitations in that time but somehow they are still using this old and unrealistic system until today. Every launcher needed to be loaded with a rocket in able to be shot, like a magazine with one shot.

A.C.E. refined it by letting disposable launchers have a built in magazine instead of having an external one that occupied your slots. Those which could be reused were able to reload and you had to carry ammo with it.

I hate how everyone makes out like in a DayZ scenario for some inexplicable reason there would be no high end military gear around.. I mean seriously, in that scenario the military would without doubt throw everything they had at the infection, then when they've failed and all died where would all the weapons be? Exactly where they fell whilst using them ie major cities and military bases, which is exactly where you find them in game so what's the problem?

That aside if the something like the RPG was ingame with HE rockets and say me and my mates are snaking through a major city, start taking fire, which escalates into a full blown firefight and suddenly the opposing team opens up with an RPG and buildings start falling, zombies start swarming etc you won't catch me whining even on the receiving end of it I'm just gonna be like mashing my fraps hotkey to catch some footage of the huge cinematic win taking place around me!

Should have been a remove all together option.

I would like to know how many people have achieved a vehicle kill with that thing. A HMG to replace it would at least be better than the options.

Oh boy..

You do realize that rocket launchers are extremely heavy, that due to the nature of the ammunition you can carry maybe 2-3 shots.

That a single shot will explode, only killing zeds in a small area while attracting at least 10x more zeds in the process because it makes a ridiculously high explosion.

Let's not forget it means you can't really hold anything else on you and that it's also not practical against vehicles ingame.

A few bullets at the right spot is more than enough to take out the average vehicle and those and the gun are easier to wear and a lot more practical to use against zeds and survivors.

Those launchers were pretty much made to counter heavy armor/vehicles and airborne targets.

And expect for the odd helicopter you wont be seeing those, so unless you go hunting for helicopters which is kind of a weird fetish they don't seem useful in zombie survival situations.

The m72s and m136s are lighther than most 7.62 rifles..
