sawn off .22 sporter poll ...should we be able to

[wooly-back-jack 294]

maybe sawn off weapons could be stored in backpack, adding a balance to a poop weapon lol

[slippery gypsy 107]

No I'm asking about, why someone would want to shorten the barrel of a .22LR, makes a weak round even weaker.

any situation you would use a sawn off you would be at a distance of what ? 10-20 metres ... the 30 rounds + plus semi auto more than makes up for lost accuracy and velocity ... the sporter is the least loved rifle in game ... so simple idea to get more use out of it ...  .22 is the most popular round in the world so it stands to  reason a .22 rifle would be the most popular firearm that said what mods can you do to a .22 LR ... scope it up and plink vermin or cut it down terrorize store owners ...i guess the majority think a mp5 with tactical rails is more realistic apocolptyic side arm... inb4 pictures of AR style .22s because i mentioned mods 

[AlfalphaCat 66]

I said no.

 

What you really want, OP, is the Ruger .22LR pistol.  Those are actually fairly accurate.  I knew an old dude that shot a deer in the eye from about 50 yards out. 

 

That Chager thing up there looks soo fucking stupid and a waste of money.   Why the fuck would you need a bipod on a pistol of such low caliber?

[jukaga 271]

What possible benefit could there be to cutting down a sporter ?

 

reduced muzzle velocity on an already relatively weak caliber that needs all the muzzle velocity it can get ?

To be able to store it in your backpack ala S/O shotgun as a last resort oh shit! weapon.

A full sized 10/22 should fit in your backpack regardless of it being cut or not its a small weapon.

[Chaingunfighter 917]

A full sized 10/22 should fit in your backpack regardless of it being cut or not its a small weapon.

I doubt it would fit in any of the game's backpacks. It's not as small as you'd think, still a full-sized rifle. By that logic you should also be able to put an M4A1 in your backpack, but I know people would flip if you could (and it wouldn't fit anyway, it's just around the same size with the stock closed)

M4 would definitely fit in a Mountain pack with the stock collapsed. Irl.

take pistol into hand

cock and arm pistol

throw pistol at enemy's head

pretty sure a charger is purely for bench rest range shooting 

[Katana67 2907]

Hrm, not sure why, but not really opposed to it.

 

Would rather a .22 LR suppressor be able to be fitted to the Sporter.

 

I think we'd have to give some sort of mobility benefit (whether it be time-to-on-target or some sort of CQC collision advantage) to short-barrel weapons before we start sawing off the barrels of everything.

 I'd rather have a sawn off 12G for these ranges

[hotcakes 348]

why cut down a shotgun .... why cut down any firearm ...

 

Shotguns don't lose significant accuracy or muzzle velocity if the sections sawed off are reasonable. The in-game depiction is an exaggeration.

 

P.S I'm talking about the shotgun's accuracy. Guns don't lose or gain muzzle velocity depending on barrel length yet.

sadly the sawn off shotgun in my experience is not very consistant in game .. i dont think i ever made a kill with it in a building either works well on zombies but not sure about other players 

[Helix2000 128]

yeah, but why stop there? why not have sawn off B95? just an idea

[slippery gypsy 107]

i would be more than happy too 

[Insane Ruffles 74]

This is a pretty stupid suggestion. They only gun you will ever cut the barrel off of is a shotgun, because it isn't rifled. every other gun has its barrel length because it needs it, and because it is rifled. You posting this topic shows that you have absolutely no knowledge of guns, sorry.

[-Gews- 7443]

If they ever add an "obrez" they need to add the same function for many other guns... wouldn't make sense for the hacksaw not to work other rifles like Mausers, CZ550s, and 10/22s.
 

 
 
And yes, sawed-off 10/22s are "a thing".
 



 
^ran across that last one on GhettoMyspace... : /

 

If you can saw off one rifle you have to be able to saw off every other rifle otherwise it makes little sense. Too much for too little.

[GunnyITA 107]

Sporter don't need to be cut!

 

Sporter need to be increased its 30 rounds magazine loot.

 

 

Don't understimate his efficiency guys! It's 1 headshoot with no helmet and "no recoil" and 2 shot with helmet.

Perfect on Medium distance and woods fight, scouting and doing ambushes....Only cons is close combat, there wins the damage, where Sporter lacks. But as suppressing fire, ammo reiability, and accuracy on medium distance is great, few well placed burst!

 

 

 

But i do really hope they will increase a little bit more the damage and also give it some attachments.

a fire arm is a "TOOL" that is modified or enhanced to suit the job you are using it for 

[Evaris 61]

Bingo.

 

As far as it goes, sure it would be weaker than it already is, but as far as holdout weapons go, it's not that bad of a choice.   Honestly, you should be able to saw off most any gun that is not piston or impingement driven, knowing that you lose performance for that smaller size.  But it gives more purpose to weapons like the .22 which are otherwise passed over.

 

Now if only we can have .22 mags spawn in civilian locations..

[trev186 389]

I say there should be an option to saw the barrel of every gun....let em use hacksaw on everything the same way u can drink disinfectant and die.

Saw the barrel off your M4 and lose accuracy and the ability to use certain attachments...etc

why not let em do it. There could be some guns it is a mistake and others it is not

[hannibaldaplaya 1095]

Let us saw off everything or riot.

[Zeppa 562]

Why not?

I dont think it takes much effort from the devs side, then anyone can fkup their gun if they like to... its not away from anybody, dont cut yours if you dont like it. You should be able to  cut your m4 in half if you liked to, use it without necessary attachments etc etc.

or more like every weapon you come across will be cut in half so if you had the only fuctional firearm in the server you would become the pre reset feudal lord of sorts

Rocket just tweeted that he saw this post and is including this change in the weekly maintenance tonight because it's so much better than the stuff they have been working on.
