What i'd like to see: Clips/bullets distinctions, Shotguns/Revolvers/Bolt-actions

[edg 1]

I'd like to see guns that do not use clips have 'Piles' of ammunition.

These could still be in stacks of 20 for example, in regard to shotguns or a bolt action hunting rifle, or 30 for a revolver.

And rather than any magazine being attached to the weapon - the ammo is fed in, one at a time.

If appropriate to real-life, it'd be nice to be able to LMB or something to interrupt the reload to fire if needed, with only as many as you have reloaded in the chamber.

This distinction could lend to more realistic and interesting pump action shotguns, six-shot revolvers, bolt action Karbiners (which use strip-clips of 5 but can also be topped up with individual shells) and scoped bolt-action sniper-rifles.

Thinking of the dayz's 'splitting' of 8rnd stacks to 2 for the double-barrel - You could lend this 'stack' feature to the modding of more realism in 'ww2' or survival style mods, with the ability to perhaps form 'strip clips' of 5 or 'speedloaders' of 6 for bolt-actions or revolvers, depleting from the 'stack' - and the stack being able to be depleted further via 'topping' up mid-mission shell-by-shell.

The pump-action could always be topped up, with no speed-loading options being available besides perhaps loading some shells onto the side of the gun on a mount.

I didn't even know there were any guns in Arma 3 that used "clips"

He was referring to shotgun rounds coming in stacks, from what I gather he was stating it would be better if it was done in some sort of "pile" rather then "clips" to quote him.

yeah frikken heck. Sure. there is a distinction. but if the distinction between the word 'clips' and 'magazines' matters to you, why arent you all kicking up more of a fuss about the cruddy system that was in arma2? the revolvers, m1014 shotguns, anybody? total sucks. it's bad enuf that we couldnt and still cant combine our half spent MAGAZINES (cough was bout to write clips) into full ones.

There has to be a more realistic system in arma3. not only i guess to be in match with the new visual clips and inventory, but also to encourage ww2/ww1 mods (realistic bolt-actions) or even cowboy shooters etc (realistic revolvers and winchesters) and remington pump actions that actually pump and reload similar to real life. hell, in "s.t.a.l.k.e.r" you could load your shotgun as such, 1pellet,1slug,pellet,slug,slug,slug,pellet,pellet. if you so wanted.. just like in RL..

Have you ever played Red Orchestra 2? I think you would be quite happy with its system.
