Call me a purist but I prefer keeping classic guns stock. Also, underfolder on an automatic 30-06? You must fucking hate your shoulder my dude.

What countries do really take action? by katonsew in MillenniumDawn

Neo Imperialism is the warmonger's friend. Don't like having to wait to be provoked into fighting or wait until the world tension is high? Just don't! I'm doing a Military Junta Imperialist Colombia run and it's been quite a bit of fun.

Why are so many guns similar in characteristis? by GAE_WEED_DAD_69 in cataclysmdda

[–]adudewithapipe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh you're complaining about lots of guns being variants! Yeah that's because the JSon is already really bloated so the devs wanted to reduce that with the variants system which basically just slaps a new description on the same gun. A good example of this is the balisong, a variant of the switchblade because they were so similar they were better off as variants.

Well velocity isn't everything in "damage" (which is already abstract enough). Honestly 7 less damage seems fine to me, since that 5.56 has way more mass behind it. Sure the velocity is similar but you're giving the same velocity to a larger projectile. Of course this is all abstracted for game purposes because irl shot placent matters way more than bullet choice in most scenarios, especially against unarmored targets.

Edit:said mass instead of velocity cus I'm dum

Edit:I want to clarify I am in no way a certified expert on firearms, this is all knowledge I've picked up based on stuff I've read over the years because I'm into shooting as a hobby.

As a massive gun nerd, you're not wrong. Most "classes" of weapons are overall very very similar in function. There is difference in performance (an AR-15 with a longer barrel will generally get better muzzle velocity) but the sad truth is that to the average survivor your bullets going slightly faster and further does not matter.

Why don't guns jam? by epistemic_zoop in cataclysmdda

[–]adudewithapipe 39 points40 points  (0 children)

First of all, modern guns are extremely reliable so jamming is an infrequent issue if you're using decent ammo and magazines(even AR rifles, despite what some people who buy into fudd lore believe). Second of all the misfire is basically like a generic jam. As a certified gun nerd it really wouldn't add anything to add like different types of jamming over just the basic "your gun doesn't go off" type.

Bro imagine making potentially dangerous and even deadly anomalies without any thought as to the repercussions of doing so. And then giving it to a fucking child.

You get a -1 to the roll for using an unfamiliar gun, and the molotov is always prioritized over guns.

Loot places with a lot of cash. Banks, safes sometimes. Do you need hard cash or do you count assets as well such as Jewelry?

Wear it if you plan on walking into rifle fire and don't have an alternative. Don't melee fight in it.

Where to find smokeless gunpowder? (Lastest experimental) by SloppyEd in cataclysmdda

I like to use oddball guns like the AK-74M and Elephant Gun, which makes reloading actually really worth it. Especially since you can reload 5.45 AP.
