Yeah, it's nice to have something to chuckle at when reading a page, as long as it fits with the tone of the subject (funny captions on, say, the [[American Sniper]] page would be way out of place). My go-to for humorous captions remains [[Far Cry 2]], though.

M56 SKS
I might be mistaken, but the SKS looks like a Yugo M56 with the GL leaf sight and compensator. AgentGumby (talk) 17:07, 6 February 2014 (EST)
- You would be correct, I've updated it. Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 23:06, 6 February 2014 (EST)
Very low res photos
Don't expect those Blaser photos to linger for very long. They are, all things considered, tiny, and are a priority for replacement. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 17:48, 7 February 2014 (EST)
- Obviously, but it's good for the time so anyone who visits the page can have a reference for what they are seeing (Some games drastically change the models of the guns, but it's still clear to some what they are based off of). I was just in a rush to get the weapon added to the page and very few screenshots actually existed when I posted this. Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 19:28, 7 February 2014 (EST)
FNP-45
Man, the FNP-45 Tactical looks waaaaaaaay too small; I have absolutely massive hands, and even then my FNX-45 still looks huge S&Wshooter (talk)
Alphabetization or release?
I'd much prefer the alphabetized system, but some people would find it easier to find newly updated weapons with the release system. Should we do release-based for now and then alphabetize after the game enters the full-version, or use either version permanently? Page navigation seems much better with alphabetization. --Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 19:12, 2 April 2014 (EDT)
- We'll alphabetize on release. At that point, we'll know what's actually in the game, we'll no longer have to tack stuff on, and it'll look a bit neater. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 19:14, 2 April 2014 (EDT)
- Ah, makes sense. They will probably add more content post-release but I guess that's a long way down the road and not a big concern for now. And while I'm at it, this new "P-38" they are seems to be a P-1 variant, not a P-38, but the resolution on the screenshots from Twitter were too low. http://www.dayztv.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/dayz-p38-in-game-model-320x180.jpg --Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 19:25, 2 April 2014 (EDT)
Thanks for the levity.
I always find pages that just list off items very boring. Even if they're really not that great, little stories and such to screenshots lend a personality to a page. Thanks for keeping this up, guys. :) Dannysaysnoo (talk) 18:01, 28 June 2014 (EDT)
- If it ever comes to a vote I say keep the captions - they're hilarious. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 13:02, 17 February 2016 (EST)
Patch 0.47.124641 New weapons added
The newest stable patch has added the following weapons:
- Makarov - Identified in-game as the .380 Baikel IJ-70 version
- CZ 527 - Renamed CR 527 and chambered in 7,62x39mm, currently does not seem compatible with other scope types (possibility of having its own attachments which have not been added).
- AK-101 - Apparently compatible with some AKM attachments (stocks, forends, optics)
- PM-73 RAK - Chambered in .380
Draco122 (talk) 01:21, 31 July 2014 (EDT)
- The problem with these guns being that their magazines don't spawn, except for the CZ, who's magazines only spawn in military zones. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 08:00, 31 July 2014 (EDT)
That is a long ass patch number. Spartan198 (talk) 22:15, 31 July 2014 (EDT)
Mosin 9130 Obrez - Separate Section
Should the new "Sawed-Off Mosin 9130" get it's own section? The Sawed-Off IZH-43 didn't, but sawed-off Mosin-Nagants are pretty commonly known as the Obrez (and this was added in separately to the Mosin 9130), so it may be worthwhile. If not, it should be put under the Mosin-Nagant M91/30 section. --Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 03:25, 14 August 2014 (EDT)
- Don't give it's own section. Just seems like a waste of space for one picture. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 08:39, 14 August 2014 (EDT)
New Info
Needs to be cleaned up - we could use pictures of the Rossi R92 (Repeater), CZ-527 (CR527), RG17 Derringer (Derringer), AK-74M (AK101), AK-74 (AK74), AKS-74U (AKS-74U), both Baikal MP-133 variants, and the static M134D miniguns that appear on the UH-1Y wrecks.--Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 22:28, 26 November 2014 (EST)
- The problem, really, is trying to find these guns. I've found a CZ, but most of these guns are crazy rare, along with the helicopter wrecks. In due time, though. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 20:41, 27 November 2014 (EST)
- Update Storm. Added the Repeater, the Derringer (Which isn't an RG17), the pump shotguns, and I'll have the AKS-74u very soon. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 11:40, 7 December 2014 (EST)
- Another update storm. All that's left is the PM-RAK SMG. Which is basically going to take me forever, as it only spawns at helicopter crashes, apparently. It's been a damn, damn long time since I found one of those. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 17:51, 9 December 2014 (EST)
- Oh, that's why no one has found the PM-RAK. It doesn't spawn anymore. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 18:16, 9 December 2014 (EST)
- There was talk somewhere on the forums of them changing the spawns so that PM-RAK will instead spawn at Police Stations while the MP5K will spawn at Crash Sites, makes it a little more believable for me at least since Police stations are the most likely place to find the .380 Auto ammo Draco122 (talk) 14:27, 10 December 2014 (EST)
- I've gone through about 20 police stations, on those ridiculous broken loot servers, and seen none. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 14:34, 10 December 2014 (EST)
- They did have it on the experimental servers for a time where the MP5K and the PM-73 Spawn locations were swapped but it was removed after the release of the latest patch, although I do still remember that a bug resulted in MP5K attachments spawning at Police Stations. I still don't understand why the MP5K spawns in Police Stations more than the PM-73, it's not like the PM-73 is much of a Special Forces weapon compared to the MP5K. The way I see it, Western or High value guns (such as the M4, AUG, MP5K, FNX45 should always spawn at Western style Crash sites while the majority of the eastern guns spawn in Military Locations. Draco122 (talk) 02:47, 16 December 2014 (EST)
Also more new information on a firearm the latest patch added in is the Steyr AUG as a High value crash site loot spawn. Despite its look as the A1 version with a fixed 1.5x Swarovski Optik scope, it's classification as a 5,56mm weapon in-game means its treated as taking the same STANAG magazines of the M4, so I'd say it's really a mix of the A1 and the A3 NATO (which is a right hand only AUG with a STANAG capable receiver) of which it can take its own AUG magazines or the erroneous 60 round "coupled" magazines of the M4, of which it maybe a bug or a placeholder. In addition, a model render depicts a variant not found in-game (although its possible these could be AUG only attachments in the future) of a H-BAR Variant featuring a longer barrel and bipod. Draco122 (talk) 02:59, 16 December 2014 (EST)
Weapon Update
Figured I'd give this article an update on some guns that are or will be added in future patches.
- Mauser C96 "Red9" with Buttstock attachment, correctly uses 9x19mm and can use it's own "9mm Stripper Clip", currently only available in Expirimental
- IZH-18M Rifle, chambered in 7,62x39mm. Single Shot rifle, apparently can be converted to an Sawn off with the addition of a Hacksaw, cannot currently attach a scope.
- Winchester Model 70, Alaskan variant was added however it is incorrectly chambered in .308 Winchester which the Alaskan model does not support. Currently only seems to accept a x8 Hunting Scope.
- SVDm Dragunov, military version, found only at Eastern Helicopter Crash Sites, always spawns with a PSO-1 Scope and magazine correctly holds 10, 7,62x54mmR rounds.
- VSS, currently only spawns in Expirimental, takes 9x39mm SP-6 rounds and carries a 10 round magazine. Can only be found at Eastern Crash Sites. Again also always spawns with (apparently) a VSS caliberated PSO1 Scope.
- UMP45, spawns only at US Helicopter Crash Sites and can feature most of the sight attachments of the M4 and MP5K.
- PMN-1 Land Mine, spawns mostly at Military Locations, does not detonate when a vehicle passes over it and appears to be proximity based to infantry only as it will explode when your 2 feet infront of it.
- Desert Eagle, yes a Desert Eagle a Golden Plated one no less, found in game files and slated for a future patch release, will apparently be chambered in .357 Magnum and spawn in residential areas (at an extremely rare chance I hope).
- VZ64 Skorpion, chambered in .380 Auto found in game files for the latest 0.58 patch on Expirimental. Is confirmed by Developers to be compatible with the Pistol Suppressor and use two types of magazine, 10 and 20 round magazines.
- Dart Gun, an unknown type, possibly fictional, custom tranquillizer Dart Gun that was found in the 0.58 patch files on Expirimental. Will likely use the same Tranquillizer Dart ammunition released in a previous patch.
Draco122 (talk) 05:03, 26 July 2015 (EDT)
- The C96 and VSS are in stable - DayZ's wiki is just very inconsistent with updated information. The Dart Gun is a Pneu-Dart X-2 (http://www.wildlifeanimalcapture.com/img/content/x2full.jpg) - a real, CO2 powered dart gun. The Vz.64 and Desert Eagle (Called "Golden Eagle") aren't available in-game yet so there's no sense listing them on the main page until they're implemented. --Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 13:17, 26 July 2015 (EDT)
A note to the person who posted the latest images
So, it's been a little while since I took images for this page, but I'm really, really happy to see that people are maintaining decent, funny captions, especially with the silly names for the survivors. Thanks. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 23:30, 19 June 2016 (EDT)
Yeah, it's nice to have something to chuckle at when reading a page, as long as it fits with the tone of the subject (funny captions on, say, the American Sniper page would be way out of place). My go-to for humorous captions remains Far Cry 2, though. Spartan198 (talk) 18:58, 20 June 2016 (EDT)
