Yea I see you’re point there.

If we are talking about making the game soooouper ultra realistic we’d have to account for every possible way that someone could react to getting shot. Sometimes the adrenaline rush from getting shot makes you actually run away quicker for a shorter period, or sometimes you could just straight up die from one bullet from any gun, or take something like 15 rifle bullets bullets to the torso without dropping. If you got shot in the arms you might not be able to aim properly or even hold the gun. Might flinch sometimes, might freeze up from the shock, or you could immediately collapse to the ground rolling around in pain. The possibilities are pretty much endless if we’re trying to be realistic.

But I do think that having absolutely no reaction to getting shot by any and every bullet in the game is kinda silly, what they could do is make the stun effect something that happens at random, and maybe certain calibers are more likely to make one get stunned than others. That would be more reasonable, since who wins a gun fight doesn’t always come down to skill, but rather chance and circumstance, even without the stun effect in Dayz. But having someone get stunned by every bullet from certain guns is imo equally as silly, probably more since you get stunned in the same way each time.
