    When can we expect gun shots to be heard reliably

    Never. Someday my supressors will function.
  2. Bad argument is bad. The effective killing range of a modern compound bow is about 50m, 60m is doable but a tad unethical. Olympic level archery takes place at 70m, 100m and beyond is mass fire range for bows sure you can get lucky, and there are probably people out there with the skill to do it reliably, but that is roughly equivalent to a 2000m+ rifle shot, yeah it can be done but not many people can do it. On the other hand there isn't a long rifle in my collection that I can't use effectively at 100m, hell Ive shot guns with barrels that look like sewer pipes that are still point of human at 100m.

    Stand alone attachment system = COD

    Actually free floating doesn't always improve accuracy, as I pointed out pressure on the barrel IMPROVES accuracy in some cases heck just moving a pressure point or changing the amount of pressure can increase or decrease accuracy.The affects of bedding can have a large impact on accuracy, far from tiny. Its not just handling, accuracy is dependent on the mechanical repeatability of a shot, if the gun shifts on or in its stock it WILL affect real world accuracy. For proof of this see the complaints about vertical stringing in the SVT40 caused by shifting in the stock during firing. I have used index cards to increase the accuracy of rifles. In the case of the SVT40 the "cone of fire" was improved in the field with chips of birch wood ( I corrected the same deficiency on my friends SVT40 with a dab of acraglass). You are out of your depth bro.

    A better fit/made butt sock can make the gun more stable against the shoulder and during firing increasing accuracy by increasing the repeatability of shots (that would be decreasing the cone of fire FYI), not to mention making the gun more comfortable increasing the shooters ability to make accurate shots. A hand guard CAN have a real measurable impact on accuracy with an AR15 or M4, some guns shoot better with a free floated hand guard, some actually shoot better with contact for whatever reason some will shoot great with the contact one of them provides but suffer under the contact from another. That you don't know that indicates you should find another hobby horse or educate yourself. Correcting your repeated belligerent displays of ignorance about firearms is becoming tiresome. The real world of firearms accuracy has some very strange occurrences.

    You know I actually agree, the attachment system in game is a bit COD, after all Ive found multiple machine shops and with a bit of work in any of them I could put any of the attachments on any of the guns. If I couldn't get the machines powered (child's play) I could do the work with just hand power. Bring on the realism!

    The Battle Rifle Thread!

    Machine shops can be found in Grishino, Berezino and Vybor that I can remember. Realistically a military airfield would have a well equipped machine shop.

    Give me this battle rifle and no one gets hurt.

    New airstrip is being planned?

    Staging area for a trucking company.
  10. Given the size of the world there would never be a last man, plenty of room for plenty of families or "tribes" to live without necessitating they back stab each other to death.
  11. No, the backstabbing insures that those who have the best genes for backstabbing and avoiding said backstabbing pass those genes along. Natural selection at its finest.
  12. Ive had people try to KOS with axes and crowbars far more often than with firearms. I also believe most of my kills have been with fire axes. I don't waste bullets on idiots who come at me with melee weapons.

    I don't have enough beans to properly compensate you for that comment.

    Long Range on the SKS

    Did you even look at the pictures? That base mounts as a PU would NO SMITHING. Nearly every rifle will require particular basses for a scope, they are drilled and tapped differently and often have different heights between the front and rear ring. The base from a Remington 700 will not fit on a M77 or a Winchester model 70. Heck the B95 has a proprietary mounting system. Unless you want to make people search for the appropriate mounts for each and every gun that gets added mounting a LRS to the Mosin should not be a problem. About the only thing you have right is that mounting a scope to a flat top M4 is child's play but even then you need the correct rings, the rings from my 700 or Mauser or Howa wouldn't work.
