Use melee and pistol from bike

[mgc 92]

I mean one-handed. One hand on the handlebar one holding the pistol. It would be very hard riding no-handed with a mountain backpack and several weapons on your back.

I've never tried that but it sounds likely more difficult.

Ok, 1 handed only.

Id say shooting from a bike could be done, but the accuracy would be horrible, and thus pointless.

 

About as accurate as a gunner of a bomber trying to hit a fighter....beeing on a bike makes you more a victim than the guy who makes the kill...i don't know if people who thing this works the hollywood way every rode a bike, you might be able to pull that off with a 100kg moped but not with your average 200-250kg motorcycle. It already takes a lot of attention on a good road to stay on course...now you want to add melee/shooting and evading?? And of course without any effect of windforce...100km/h is not so hard but you shouldn't be thinking of anything but trying to stay on the bike in that time even if you had a windscreen.

All you had to do....

mouse scroll wheel option: ride handlebars

 

now your buddy can shoot for you!

i'd like to see you swing an axe effectively with one hand while riding a bike lol

 i would use a baseball bat. ride a bike with a fire axe is the same like running with a open scissor XD

What would be a great idea, and what would add to player interaction would be being able to fire from inside vehicles. Now, obviously, this would be difficult, but I don't think that should stop this from being possible. Also, it would be difficult to fire and drive at the same time, but I like the general Idea  ;)

I don't see this working unless it was a melee weapon and was used like a ram.

Tried with airsoft. Couldn't hit a 2-Foot wide piece of cardboard 5m away more than once ortwice going at a moderate speed. Conclusion: Hollywood.

But maybe: tapeing pistol or sawed-off the handlebars, for if some guy pops out infront.

If an archer can shoot from horseback, you should be able to shoot from a bike, right? Post a vid so we can see. Would be awesome.

Horses stay upright and compensate for imbalances while you swing stuff around on their own.

 

also, for that physics argument.

 

speed of bike + speed of bat > speed of bat.

 

however I would imagine you could probably swing something faster while not on a bike so...

 

speed of bike + speed of bat - awkwardness speed. < speed of bat.

first we would need bikes, then we could not put this in.

Because?

I don't mind you oppose the idea, but at least bring some arguments.

hm, ok, well i don´t think this is realistic, in a apocalypse you would not be doing this, so yeah, and i just don´t like this.

im glad you are giving ideas, but this one was not good, im my opinion.

also don´t think it works with this engine.

 So what, "in an apocalypse you would not be doing this"-- why? Are post apocalyptic survivors afraid they'll look silly? Are they lobotomised so that riding a bike and shooting doesn't make sense to them?

In your opinion it wasn't a good idea? What's wrong with it?

Does it work with the engine? One would think if shooting from cars and helicopters is possible then shooting from bikes would be.

Edit: Have any bros thought of using "light" melee weapons on bikeback-- knives or even sickles- and slashing people on your merry way past?

An "overbalance" penalty would DEFINITELY be needed, no way you're going to ride a bike one handed while wearing a mountain backpack full of cans of food and gun ammo.

you can´t shoot from veichles unless it has a mounted gun on it. and bikes does not have mounted machetes or guns on it.

[thedogfoodyayho 295]

Its not so much the shooting itself - its tge fact that shooting with any accuracy takes some focus, and the speed of a bike, along with the time it takes you to aim, makes it nearly impossible. If you try, the bike will often spin out of control.

 

I'm not the best a bike rideing, but i imagine you could do this more effectively from a motorcycle, becuase they don't tip over if you aren't actively keeping them up.

I'm not so sure about motorcycles tipping over to a lesser degree, but i have no experience. I do know that riding a bike with 1 hand is no problem at all on a well paved road. If we're talking downhill racing, it's a different story.

 

To summarize:

 

Pistols:

- Only allowed if bike can be easily controlled (depending on terrain).

- 1 handed aiming (accuracy penalty)

 

Melee

- Only allowed if bike can be easily controlled (depending on terrain).

- Only "light" melee weapons can be used.

 

Anything else?

Uzis and other SMGs are planned, right? They should be useable.

Like in the San Andreas photo a page or two back.

No iron sights useage. By the time you get them lined up you crash.

I know from experience.

I think those would be even more pray and spray than the pistols. No way those should be as effective as in gta.

No, not as effective as GTA for sure. But you gotta admit that being pray and spray would really work here: One handed for the bike, and lots of individual bullets=lots of chances to hit.

True, have beans.
