Good thing all my characters use dem lazer guns.

Nice guide, though.

/also mem's

I wish I knew most of this stuff when I was playing my gun wielding character. Even after researching some I still didn't know much of anything about this stuff. /o\

This made me happy, btw blue_raven64 June 18 2010, 06:37:52 UTC
Automatic fire does Terrible Terrible Things to your accuracy and ammo supply, I agree. Sometimes it's necessary (penetration on a hardened target, suppressing fire) and muzzle climb can be controlled (such as with a tripod) but in general, yeah.

...I remember reading something about bullets that went straight though a target, but...that may have been related to stopping power and why the US upgraded to a heavier round. I may be misremembering.

Also, DUAL WIELDING. GTFO, THAT SHIT IS BANANAS D: Multiple guns are carried to skip the process of reloading in an extended firefight.

And the only round that is stopped by unarmored doors is birdshot.

Yeah, the US sticks with a heavier round because it's against the Geneva Conventions to use any type of round that will mushroom inside the target. So they stick with full penetration and flechette rounds. It's not banned for civilian use so police tend to use hollowpoint so their bullets don't penetrate their target and hit an innocent.

dfghsdg yeah, I should probably add Dual Wielding as a nono haha.

None of my lineup, past or present, used guns, but this makes me wish they did. 'Least I can still get mileage out of the kidney tip!

It's helpful to know that it's quieter to stab someone in the kidney with a knife than it is to slit their throat. You know...for assassins and stuff.

No, I'm not morbid at all.
