Is there a server with NPC players to test guns out on? (human zombies kindove)

It'd be handy to test out how much damage certain guns do e.t.c
It's difficult mastering any gun without having a way of testing how they work against real players. It's not the same shooting zombies as they can't get legs broken e.t.c and have low HP.
Ideally a server with a row of NPC human players who stand still and all the guns in a pile next to them.

Not that I know off. There is a few things you can do. none of them optimal.

1st is set up a offline server. Hosting your own server you would be an admin, an admin can spawn anything you see in game (mostly) and even things that are in game but are not released. (yes there is even more guns and other things) Do a search online for hosting your own server for dayz and you will see many tutorials.

2nd, If you have friends that own a server, you can get a lot of help from them. If one of our long time players ased me to mess around so he can test things out. I probably would.

3, the work has already been done. {WOBO} he is the GOD of dayz. if you have a question, he has a vid on it. if you wanna see every weapon available, tested for range and for impact etc etc etc. This freak of nature has done a video on it. I bet he knows more about Dayz then any single dev. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEaZAoRquVbDm7-8u1qastw
That is his utube chan.

I will close with,. There is AI mods out there. But you will run into some probs with that route. 1st is you have to find them, Then you have to kill other players in artea while not getting killed by the fairly skilled Ais. They aint gonna sit and let you test ♥♥♥♥ on them.

2nd, is they are random. most are set up to run between areas. or spawn as an event. that event could be cleared out already buy time you get there. So you really could run around all day and not see the AI, even of it is posted in chat that the "event" has spawned.

3rd. Ai are ONLY on modded servers. which means you do not get t carry gear over. So if you wanted to test a certain weapon you still have to go find it get the ammo for it, and then get to the AI. PAIN IN ARSE. Hope this helped.
