Real-World Ammo & Ballistics
This mod aims to completely overhaul all of the ammunition calibers in DayZ, adding more variants for each caliber, and making all bullets behave in a realistic manner, as well as adding additional calibers for use with existing & future weapon mods.
The goal is to have this weapon mod be a foundation to be used by most weapon mods out there, and any future weapon mods, so that all weapon mods can use this ammunition, making it vastly easier for server owners to utilize different weapon mods without having to worry about having 10 different 50cal types, each only compatible with a specific weapon from a specific mod.
The types.xml and classnames list can be found in the extras folder. All classnames are prefixed with "DLT_"
- 33 Ammunition Calibers
- A total of 130 unique ammo variants
- Real-world ballistic performance
- Compatibility with the most popular weapon mods (with the corresponding compatibility pbo)
Each of the 130 ammunition variants is configured to match as closely as possible the expected performance of the same round in the real world. This includes:
- Penetrating power
- Ballistic Coefficient (air friction)
- Projectile weight
- Muzzle velocity
- Accuracy (MOA Accuracy)
- Damage drop-off
Furthermore, with the addition of the Delta’s Ammunition Info UI mod, players can gain a visually appealing & easy to understand insight into the specific properties of each ammo variant, such as health damage, shock damage, armor damage, speed, and more.
Each of the calibers and variants have new models & textures, made to match their real-world equivalents as closely as possible, creating a more immersive overall experience, and allowing players to visually distinguish between different ammo variants.
Included in the mod are additional compatibility PBOs (found in the "extras > !Compatibility PBOs" folder) that allow the mod to integrate into 17 of the most popular weapon mods:
- SNAFU Weapons
- Morty’s Weapons
- A6 Weapons
- RevGuns (including JebsGuns)
- EDO Weapons
- APES Arsenal
- Buca Weapons
- IMP
- MMIO (Mass’s Many Item Overhaul)
- Tactical Flava
- UAV Weapons
- Paragon Arsenal
- MWP (Modular Weapon Pack)
- KR Weapons
- Fox Weapon Pack
- JD’s Animated Weapons
- VHQ Weapon Pack
I’m always looking to make it compatible with more weapon mods, check my discord[discord.gg] for a more up-to-date compatibility list and PBOs.
You are free to re-pack ONLY the PBOs within the aforementioned "extras > !Compatibility PBOs" folder, and NOT the main "Delta_Ammunition.pbo". Feel free to create your own compatibility PBOs to make the mod compatible with other weapon mods 🙂
There is also a "Delta_Ammunition_DoubleStacks.pbo" file, which as the name implies, doubles the max stack amount of all of the ammunition.
The mod is compatible by default with all vanilla firearms.
Each of the calibers are split into 4 "Tiers" (with the exception of 5.56, .45 ACP, and .408), based on their overall performance and capabilities. These variants can range from Hollow-point, soft-point, armor-piercing, or even sabot projectiles. Certain situations may favor lower tiered hollow-point ammo better suited at delivering maximum energy to the target, rather than going full balls-to-the-wall ultra armor piercing rounds, which trade off their overall health damage for more penetrating power.
I have balanced the damage values for all of the different ammo types to work best with Forward Operator Gear. So performance may vary if you are using a different/modified armor mod.
The current calibers included in the mod are:
- 22 LR
- 45 ACP
- 9 x 19
- 9 x 39
- 380 ACP
- 5.45 x 39
- 5.56 x 45
- 357 Magnum
- 12ga
- 7.62 x 39
- 7.62 x 54
- 308 Win
- 338 Lapua
- 300 Blackout
- 6.8 SPC
- 8.6 Blackout
- 408 CheyTac
- 50 BMG
- 45-70 Govt.
- 300 Win Magnum
- 12.7 x 55
- 20 x 102
- 30-06
- 5.7 x 28 Tokarev
- 7.92 x 57 Mauser
- 50 Beowulf
- 7.62 x 25 Tokarev
- HK 4.6 x 30
- 500 S&W
- 6.5 Creedmoor
- 277 SIG Fury
I do plan on adding more calibers, as well as ammo boxes (eventually).
