• Preview Video!• Sawn-Off Rifle technically v2• Sawn-Off Rifle v2a with no recoil and longer cycle timea powerful rifle designed for close-range deathmatches with lots of cover; in particular, trench deathmatches. has a low ammo capacity, a sophisticated reload system (similar to T+T) and very little CI work because i could not be assed
on defense, it has lots of range and can put out a lot of damage if you can catch an attacker off guard. on offense, it has instant kill capabilities with short ranged headshots and can knock around assailants to help you manage enemy fire. cover is important: two ranged headshots or one good hit at close range will kill. plus, it raycasts, and if you've got good reflexes (or just know where the guy is beforehand) you can probably punch through anything
if you have the ammo, i mean
designed to be used standalone and definitely shouldn't be used with something like T+T or blockcombat, mostly because it is leagues more powerful then anything in either of those packs and that's asking for trouble. map design tailored around this weapon should have ammo all over the place to keep it's relatively short supply stocked and should have either the means to make cover or have lots of cover placed preemptively to keep the game from just devolving into a sniper duel
i made this gun in about 3 hours, but it should be bug-free; if you find one and fix it, post it in the topic and i'll link it to the OP
as an alternative (for specifically greek2me's trench TDM) i have also provided a less arcadey variant where the rifle doesn't push you back with recoil and has a longer, more traditional bolt-action-rifle cycle time. this version is even less likely to be supported as far as bug fixes go so don't go holdin your breath
• Extra: Server_PGDiea corpse mod that makes combat more satisfying and visually interesting in a sort of smash bros-y, abstract sort of way. purpose-built to be goofy and ridiculous. comes with a couple unexpected surprises, too
killing players causes them to explode, fly apart, and crumble to the ground. they also might make a sound if you kill them hard enough
modified from an existing mod (but i forget whose in particular) (i think it was called crumble on death)
(surprise!)
