Lee Enfield
The Lee Enfield is a commonly found rifle, available from residential and farm loot spawns. In addition to being one of the loudest guns, it is also one of the most damaging, able to kill a player with just two shots. However, it suffers from a slow fire rate. Lee Enfield magazines are fairly common to find as loot as well.
Following the release of the ArmA II 1.62 patch, the audible range and damage for the Lee Enfield were significantly reduced, making it safer to use, but less powerful against players.
Usage Tips:
- The Lee Enfield is often referred to as "The Dinner Bell" due to the high audible range. When choosing between guns early in the game it is preferable to have the Winchester 1866 rather than the Lee Enfield.
- On most occasions, the Lee Enfield will knock out players in 1 shot, as long as they are within a reasonable range. This makes it very effective for PvP, as long as you hit on the first shot, or before they see you.

Capable of one-shotting a full player from 100 meters, a perfect gun for a beginning bandit. Good ironsights, nice accuracy, the only downside - low rate of fire. A missed shot in CQB can cost you life.
Oh, and it's loud as hell, too.

Incoming non-constructive comment: I really wish they would reskin the Enfield into the Mosin Nagant. I know it's just me being a firearm hipster, but it bothers me. The Russians decided to manufacture enough Mosins to arm the entire nation if it ever became necessary. While the British made Enfield has no reason to be in Russia. Furthermore, they are both huge, loud, slow, and equally powerful rifles. Someone change this so I can stop complaining about it, please!

The best use for this gun is when you're working in a team. The survivor with the Lee sets up on one end of town; the rest of the team sets up on the other. A single shot from the Lee-Enfield will get every zombie in town heading that way - the survivor can try to take out a couple, but mostly just needs to start running into the hills. With the zombies cleared out, the rest of the team can go in and make a quick sweep of high value buildings.

I don't really understand why this gun spawns in residential areas....
Were the civilians expecting to have to fight off hoards of Kevlar-clad zombie elephants?

It says on the comparison chart that this weapon has a 30 round clip; in reality it only has a 10 round one.

A very useful weapon for outside fights. Commonly found in barns, good sights, 1 shoot kills zeds, common ammo and 10 bullet clips. Though it's not advisable to use it for close encounters because of the slow fire rate. Also as people mention it is really loud so if possible moving longer distances before shooting is a good idea. A good thing is that Lee Enfield audible range has been reduced so maybe the weapon will finally lose its notorious nickname "Dinner Bell". If you have a few clips to spare it's quite easy to take out a big number of zeds making it one of my favorite beginner hunting weapons.

Advantages: One shots zombies and you find more ammo for it than Frank' and Beans.
Downside: After ne shot every zombie of the map starts running towards you

This weapon has a bad rep, but it is not deserved. This is the most powerful unscoped rifle in the game. It's accurate and the iron sights are easy to use. It will attract a lot of zombies of you fire it in a city or town, but you shouldn't do that with any weapon anyway.

If the audible range has dropped to 162m, and the effective range is 400m, I might consider picking this one up for looting small towns. Kill zombies from a distance (around 300m), then move in with the hatchet for the stragglers that you missed and you can make an easy and relaxing sweep.

Fun gun for holing up in a building. However, the lack of an attachable scope makes it only practical on the outskirts of a small town.

I think, that the Lee Enfield is after the update a really nice weapon. The Audible Range is now not as that bad, maybe in a big city, yes, but if you have a zombie behind you, go on a field and shoot him down. Maybe it's still not for long a good weapon, but as begining weapon it's not bad. Before the update it was really nonsence to use this weapon, because when you shoot 1 zombie, 3 new were coming, now you can, leastwise use it to defense you.
And the damage is still very good, the amo is really common, and the accuracy is really good. Maybe you can shoot zombies or players 200 meters away an with 2 shots they are dead, mostly after 1 hit unconscious, so i think the Lee Enfield is at the begining a good weapon to self defense an also to "sniper" other better equip players. The only weapon which is better after the update, the whole rest -> bullshit especially the M1911 and revolver -.-

One of the best starting guns due to its availability, stopping power and ammo abundance. The biggest drawback would be the noise it makes on firing. Never fire this gun in a city unless you are prepared to fight off every undead inhabitant of said city. It has a fairly slow fire rate so this gun is not great in cqb. If you never miss a shot then by all means use it, but should you miss, you might not be able to fire again to keep the zombies off you or put the enemy player down before he does the same to you.

A very good gun in the beginning and even good to hold on to for a while. The small ammo clips take up an irritating amount of space but you can't really beat 1 shotting ZedHeads and Survivors from 400m.
However, that being said, you must get a good sidearm for CQC if the room is too small to give you time to aim the Enfield before ZedHead's new and improved six meter reach get you. If you miss with the Enfield in CQC... might as well respawn now.
