Publik 404 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) How is the accuracy on the 1911? The configs list it at 0.03, which is nearly 3x better than the M4. Gews has shown me the error of my ways, nvm. Edited March 28, 2014 by Publik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylesaysthings 44 Posted March 28, 2014 How is the accuracy on the 1911? The configs list it at 0.03, which is nearly 3x better than the M4.From my experience, like the rest of the pistols, it's laughably terrible. There's some video tests floating around these forums somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the numbers we have in the local files are incorrect. They're probably ignored and the server has it's own set of configs. Edit: Nevermind, though it's a good idea.

Dchil 829 Posted March 28, 2014 I have never found a mag for it so i've never tested one properly. I just use the magnum. If they start making the pistols spawn with empty mags then that is a different story. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even the stock m4, in its terribly unrealistic state, is more accurate than the 1911(as it obviously should be). I'm just hoping that the current dispersion settings are a placeholder, either in absence of better accuracy impacting mechanics, or to provide some control and reduction of engagement ranges while weapons are still available in great abundance.

-Gews- 7443 Posted March 28, 2014 The base figure for the M4 is without any stock or handguard. Dispersion for M1911 is exactly 27 inches at 25 yards. Dispersion for M4A1 is 42.5 inches at 100 yards (10.6" at 25 yd). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) For the first time I found a 1911 mag today and could test it with more than 1 round in the chamber. I'd say it's the best out of the pistols/revolvers in terms of accuracy and dispersion. But the mags are so rare and their capacity is half of the FNX, so it's not an option for now. I like the 1911 a lot, and would love to be able to add the FNX attachments to it and be able to find more mags. Keeping the mag, but leaving the pistol till I find more. Maybe I'll swap it, but the FNX is still the best overall... (imo) The CZ/CR75, the .357 and the Amphiba S are great too, but if I could make a choice, it would be between the 1911 and the FNX. The magnum as great stopping power and the ammo with fast loaders are pretty easy to find, but for the six shot it has, it's not more precise than the others sadly. Let's hope they fix them all, because anyway right now the pistols are very innacurate. Edited March 28, 2014 by Odin Lowe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that's obviously just my personal findings in the minimal testing I've done. I agree with you about the FNX though. It's still my personal favorite side-arm.

Forgot to account for the stock parts. Puts the M4 at 0.0118064 dispersion. Edited my OP, thanks Gews. I've found no difference in accuracy between the 1911 and FNX. Now that's obviously just my personal findings in the minimal testing I've done. I agree with you about the FNX though. It's still my personal favorite side-arm.All of the handguns have the same dispersion (0.03) except for the Amphibia which has 0.02.

-Gews- 7443 Posted March 28, 2014 Puts the M4 at 0.0118064 dispersion.This kind of thing makes me wonder who came up with it, and how...Seriously, what is the point of putting extremely precise, very specific and seemingly random numbers down to one ten-millionth? Like, wouldn't 0.0118 do? Why the extra 0.0000064 tacked on there? Where did that come from? I'm curious! For example those last two digits will increase the M4's dispersion by a puny 6.4 millimeters at a distance of 1-kilometer. What? If you're reading this Mr. Configuration, round your numbers off! It hurts my OCD! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Gews- 7443 Posted March 28, 2014 On these forums? I'm speaking to no one in particular Seriously though... I want to know where that -0.0440968 came from, that is a [crazy] precise number. That is not off the top of someone's head, there was some calculation involved in that. I wonder what it was. Otherwise it would have made more sense to just put -0.0441, no?
