Civilian Weapon Damage
I was looking over the stats for the some of the weapons in dayz, and realized the abnormally low damage of the CZ 550 for the round it fires, the 9.3x62 mauser. I could have sworn that the gun did more damage than the 7.62x51mm. I did some digging, and found that the 9.3x62 mauser round carries arround one third more of the kinetic energy of that of the 7.62 round. Then I looked over the stats of the Enfield and saw that the damage of it was significantly low Sitting at 6700 ish. The 303 British it fires is only slightly more powerful than the 7.62 round.
Would be cool to have a little skill gap in place for those looking for the most damage out of their rifle by buffing that CZ 550 damage up to 9200 or around that. As for the Enfield, maybe pull it's damage to around or slightly less than the 7.62 round (for balance purposes) but have the damage stay more steady out to longer ranges, so those long range marksman are rewarded a little better for their dedication to this skillful rifle.
