What is everyone's preferred general weapon loadout before getting the high end tech stuff ( i.e. Laser Weaponary, Bionic weapon, etc..)

Summarised I enjoy using:

  • Melee -- Loaded Stick ( bludgeon weapon and works nicely with specific weapon martial art) -- Kukri ( Cut weapon, nice with a good martial art and decent accuary for "knife" weapon)

  • Depending on ammo availability I take 1 secondary and 1 primary

  • Secondaries -- Glock 19 ( modability, gun and ammo availability) -- FN Five-Seven ( good penetration) -- Sig P226 (personal preference)

  • Primaries -- M4A1 (ammo and gun availability, good mod profile) -- M14 EBR ( Decent all-purpose Marksman Rifle)

  • Throwables -- Throwing Knives : 3 to 12 ( depends on loadout, silent, reusable and can cause bleeding) -- 2 Molotovs ( Emergency crowd control, building demo) -- 1 Grenade ( homemade or military grade, emergency use)

I do use other weapons and switch it up when situation demands, but for general purpose exploration and loot runs I can rely on the above loadout to handle most situations to my personal preferences.

Honestly, I have probably gotten most of my kills from slings. I really like slinging in real life and it is fun and very practical to use them in CDDA. The staff sling does more damage, but a regular sling takes up basically no inventory space, if you decide you need to use it, just harvest some ammo nearby and you are set.

Most of the time I don't really pick huge fights, so any old M4A1 I find is usually more than enough firepower unless I am totally way in over my head.

I've heard that with enough throwing skill you can destroy a turret with only a stone. Is it true?
