Using Mil Dots on Sniper Rifle Scopes in Day Z

Introduction

• Explanation of using mil dots on sniper scopes to estimate the distance of a target.
• Importance of adjusting zeroing accordingly.

Equipment

• M24 Sniper Rifle
  • Example of sniper rifles in Day Z with mil dots.

Formula for Distance Calculation

• Formula: Height of the target * 1000 / Height in mil dots on scope
• Example Calculation: Standing Target
  • Average height of humanoid: 1.8 meters
  • Calculation: 1.8 m * 1000 / 4.5 = 400 meters
  • Adjust zeroing accordingly.

Practical Application

• Methodology:
  • Identify target and measure height in mil dots.
  • Use the formula to calculate distance.
  • Adjust zeroing based on calculated distance.
  • Example steps:
    1. Identify standing target (1.8m height)
    2. Measure mil dots (e.g., 4.5 mil dots)
    3. Calculate distance (1,800/4.5 = 400m)
    4. Adjust zeroing to 400m
    5. Ensure shot precision by slight adjustments if needed.

Special Cases

• Crouched Targets
  • Assumed height: half of a standing person (0.9 meters)
  • Calculation: 0.9 m * 1000 / 2 mil dots = 450 meters
  • Adjust zeroing to closest available increment (e.g., 400m) and aim slightly above target's head.*

Conclusion

• Summary of steps to use mil dots for distance estimation in Day Z.
• Importance of adjusting zeroing to enhance shooting accuracy.
