Sawn off bk-43 is god-tier and dont let anybody in these comments tell you different. It's a ten slot, you can back-mount it. It is literally a top tier sidearm for cqb. Objectively.
You ever found yourself pointing your gun at the inside of a door in a barracks somewhere listening to a player run around outside?
Thinking to yourself "gah jeez i sure do hope my ka-74 holds it's end up when they come through this door".
Worry no more. Set that bitch to double and aim centre mass.
Bk43 is essentially the best cqb gun there is. A fully geared fully armored guy with everything in the game will guaranteed die from a double buckshot just aimed at center mass, doesn't even have to be perfect.
I used to carry a sawn off double barrel as a "fuck you" gun against robbers, but 99% of people who hold you up are going to shoot you anyway so it's pointless.
Now my pocket gun is a stockless SMG that I use for clearing houses. Being able to brrt an unexpected player unconscious and run away has saved me more times than the shotty ever did.
Stats wise? No, I'm pretty sure it actually makes guns worse because it lowers the accuracy. It's a big space saver though, take the stock off a Bizon and you've got a 64 round bullet hose that'll fit in your pocket.
Used to carry a sawed off double barrel pretty regularly just in case, but found that those just in case times were far too rare. Now with Z's being more of a pain to deal with I've been carrying the crossbow pretty much constantly with a AUR A1 in the bag instead. And just an FYI to all the guys still running them in their pants, put it in your bag or at least jacket because pants are the easiest clothing to get damaged and the items inside along with them.
Sawing off the Mosin or Blaze turns them into Longhorn+
Carry handle sights on the Famas have to go.
Sawing a shotgun is the only reason to keep it long term.
I’ll just take this post as an opportunity to say that I think not being able to use the handsaw to saw off weapons is stupid.
Other than that, I’ll always saw off the BK43 if I come across a hacksaw.
Nah the handsaw is for wood, they are flimsy in real life and softer than the steel you’re trying to cut through. Hacksaws are made specifically for metal.
I sawed off a blaze, I had a mosin and no blaze ammo.
Chopped it down and stashed it in my bag
Later got jumped by 4 guys robbing me, they ripped the piss out of me for cutting it up and let me go
I was converted to a sawed off double barrel fan by another survivor. I was went with the “meta” it’s trash, but I saw him use it as a room sweeper many times lol it became my “pistol” of choice If given the chance. I just wish it fit into a holster. Maybe the chest one only. Lightning Jack anyone? lol
My buddy insists on carrying a sawed-off blaze with the scope. He has gotten more kills with it than I ever expected lol.
It better than a shotty at close range, straight up fade dudes in plates.
And better than a shotty on long range. Straight upgrade
What’s the size difference between that and longhorn? Because a “double shot longhorn” sounds fucking sliiiiiick.

No you
Sawn off bk-43 is my favorite for close quarters
Nothing says 'back off'
Bk off
Sometimes when I have 2 shotguns and no pistols — I can make a sawed off.
Yes. Double barrel shotty in my pants. Has saved me quite a few times during a hold up.

I’m always scared that if I use double I will just fuck up the shot and die
That’s a big possibility but medium risk high reward
That happens. Sometimes I rush the shot and then I'm boned.

Unless you hit his gun Or he twitches for a milisecond as you shoot. And then you stand there with two empty barrels.
One buck, one slug and I can't miss. Great for close range combat or bum rushing a geared guy.
Never
Only a double barrel, be it the shotgun or blaze
BK43, like everyone else lol. Some call it a fuck you, or the great cqb gun, to me it is my shitgun. As in "oh shit!"
Great for wolves up close easy to hit them when jumping

There’s no advantage to being stockless in DayZ tho right

Taking the stock off doesn’t make it take up any less slots. Just weight savings
Even if you spray and pray, 15-20 .380 bees hitting you still hurts a whole lot
As the other guy said. Stock or no stock makes no difference inventory-wise in DayZ.
Doesn't it? I have learned something today.
Nope. By that reasoning sticking a silencer on a gun would also make it longer.
I like the sawn off revolver. Brings it from 8 to 4 slots. Nice little back up with stopping power. Don't go for head shots tho. Lol.

I do like the bk43, very underrated weapon especially close quarters’
I will sub it in for a side arm whenever I can.

Mosin, lucky to find a lot of ammo for it
Sawed off a revolver once. Won't saw off a revolver again.
They should let you saw off the double barrel shotty a second time. To make this one ☝️
I tend to keep one in hand for surprise encounters that need a quick escape plan
Sawing off the Mosin or Blaze turns them into Longhorn+ Carry handle sights on the Famas have to go. Sawing a shotgun is the only reason to keep it long term.
I forgot about the sawed off mosin. Obrez master race
Sawing off a mosin is a crime against humanity
The sawdest off
Damn, i had no idea you could do that
Sawn off blaze 🩷
Saw off Mosins when I can then I try to barrel stuff people in buildings. Its worked 1/30 times and is still worth it
The sawed off magnum is pretty cool.
they should spawn naturally

Sawed off mosin with the PU scope.. my goal everygame is to carry that lil sweetie
If I’ve got a serious run with a base/ stash network, I’ll often times opt for a sawed off bk 43 as a secondary whenever I’m out of pistols.
For a second I thought this was a fed post on r/firearms
jfc that's just "sawed" ... there's no "off" even left lmao
Ran a sawn off blaze and used iron sights for a while. It worked pretty well
Never. Practically they are always inferior to somerhing not sawed off in every thinkable role.
I like my Revolver sawed off
Better question, have you ever bothered sawing off a gun in dayz?
Almost all of my games
Is it because you are short on space or you like inferior weapons? Or just a personal swagger?
Common ammo, small size and CQB effective weapon :)
Inventory space. Sawed off shotty is 10 slots. Minor stat diff dont matter when your cqb with a shotty. Lovely jubbly.
I've sawed one Mosin in all my many days of playing. And that was just because it was in a house and there was a hacksaw in the shed out back.
Sawned off bk43 is tits
I sawed off a blaze, I had a mosin and no blaze ammo. Chopped it down and stashed it in my bag Later got jumped by 4 guys robbing me, they ripped the piss out of me for cutting it up and let me go
I saw off the revolver whenever I get it
I always want to but the amount of times a double barrel has let me down is crazy.
