Weapons also includes ammunition, attachments and magazines used with firearms or other ranged weapons. Most weapons in DayZ Standalone are closely modeled after their real-world counterparts and behave as such. There are several types of weapons, organized by their primary combat use. Stalingrad's guns were designed in 1948, while most of the first 356, 381, and 406mm naval rifles were being developed before and around the period of 1914-1918. Of course, newer guns were better - Iowa's 16'/50 Mk.7, designed in 1939, were far superior to Colorado's 16'/45 Mk.1 - but the Mk.1 was designed in 1913, a full quarter-century earlier.

The 5'/54 caliber Mark 16 gun (spoken 'five-inch-fifty-four-caliber') was a late World War II–era naval gun mount used by the United States Navy, and later, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. These guns, designed specifically for the Montana-classbattleships, were to be the replacement for the 5'/38 caliber secondary gun batteries then in widespread use with the US Navy.
Design[edit]
The 5'/54 cal gun turrets were similar to the 5'/38 caliber gun mounts in that they were equally adept in an anti-aircraft role and for damaging smaller ships, but differed in that they weighed more, fired heavier rounds of ammunition, and resulted in faster crew fatigue than the 5'/38 cal. guns.
The ammunition storage for the 5'/54 cal. gun was 500 rounds per turret, and the guns could fire at targets nearly 26,000 yards (24,000 m) away at a 45° angle. At an 85° angle, the guns could hit an aerial target at over 50,000 feet (15,000 m).
The cancellation of the Montana-class battleships in 1943 pushed back the combat debut of the 5'/54 cal guns to 1945, when they were used aboard the US Navy's Midway-classaircraft carriers. The guns proved adequate for the carrier's air defense, but were gradually phased out of use by the carrier fleet because of their weight (rather than having the carrier defend itself by gunnery the task would be assigned to other surrounding ships within a carrier battle group). These mounts were then installed in the Japanese Akizuki-class and Murasame-class destroyers in 1958–59.[1]

Chosen by U.S. special operators as the next generation assault rifle platform, the MK 16 provides the range, reliability, accuracy, safety, ergonomics and modularity to meet any operational challenge. A selective-fire, semi-, and full-auto 5.56x45mm rifle using a short-stroke gas piston, the MK 16 can be quickly configured by the individual operator in just minutes for close quarters combat (CQC), tactical, and long-range engagements. Unlike many currently fielded 5.56x45mm rifles, controllability under recoil is a hallmark of the MK 16, allowing the operator to readily engage targets with multiple well-aimed rounds. The MK 16 has been tested and fielded with U.S. Armed Forces. It adds the same innovation, modularity, and adaptability as the MK 17, only in a smaller caliber.
