The Weapons Stereotype Thread

[Jubel]

Frag grenades are complete stuff when in games. One of them could easily kill anyone within at least 10-13 feet.

Explosions going off way too close to people, never hear about their eardrums popping...

Bump for update.

I like this thread because it's actually teaching me things.

We need a list of actual useful threads or something ..

Oh Yuki, we will have a field day when CoD: Black ops is released, I watched the multiplayer trailer and I'm definitely not buying it. They ripped off Gun game and as usual Call of duty will take ALL the credit and we'll never hear the end of who made gun game first. I lost complete interest when they showed a player pull out a minigun. But I do like that ballistic knife. MW2 just marked the downfall but Black Ops definitely killed the series.

Why do I feel like I'm reading TV Tropes? I mean, Yuki makes good points about firearms and other modern weapons, but TV Tropes looks like it's written by an starfish.

Tropes is awesome

Agreed, it's going to be stuff. At least Infinity Ward could keep a decent story going.

People at my school actually think bullets travel at ultra-uber-supersonic speeds. They think that once you pull the trigger, the bullet gets to your target instantly.

Like shooting a plane in MW2, pull the trigger, the bullet is there.

You have to lead moving targets, or you won't hit them. Except that depends entirely on how far the target is. Plus, bullets lose energy after a certain amount of feet, so you can't shoot an M9 and hit a target one mile away by aiming directly at it.

EXACTLY! D:

Battlefield: BadCo. 2 is actually a little good at this though. I've noticed that with my sniper, even when directly aimed at him, from a far distance won't hit him. You have to take notice to elevation and bullet drop. And Blockland is pretty cool game that does exactly what RL supposed do.

They do travel at supersonic speeds, the fastest move beyond 1km/s, the characteristic crack from firing is a mixture of the bullet breaking the sound barrier and and expanding gases behind it (Which would make a thump with a subsonic round, amirite?).
Also, battle sights are made to account for the distance of the target and the associated bullet drop, the Pre-9mm Mauser C96's had optimistic sights going right up to 2000m.

Relating to this thread:

1. My dad got a Smith and Wesson .357 magn- revolver, and he said I could come to the range with him to shoot it. Never fired a handgun before, tips on how not to forget up?

2. Saw a Marine Sniper show where they were firing at targets hundreds of yards away, and it was really cool stuff to see the heat trail (or whatever that distortion was) behind the bullet and see it curve and drop right onto the target.

The reason why I love guns so much is because, say what you want, the first gun that I ever fired was an M60 heavy machine gun at age 7.

The M60 is actually a GPMG.
