How good is the Lomghorn supposed to be?

[UltimateGentleman 355]

Spawned in at NWAF and instantly spotted a group of guys, figured fuck it I've not had much in the way of shooting training.

Pretty sure I missed one of the guys at like 100m with the 9mm pistol(the one thats not the P1) so I took out my Longhorn, guy maybe 70m away aimed dead on BANG.

Total miss.

So far as I know.

And then the hunt was on I heard an SKS, Mosin and I think an AKM shooting at me they chased me about a mile then I stop after they seemed to have lost me, fired a shot with the Longhorn and ran about with a flare on, they catch up.

One guy trying to flank round a wall by the factory area we were at, Mosin in hand.

We meet up, he shoots me in the leg or something I shot him in the chest with the Longhorn.

No more than 3m away and he definitely got hit, even yelled in pain.

Then he killed me because of course walking and taking out a pistol is not an option so my guy stood there a target(in the heat of the moment I never went round the wall, probably guys there anyway) so he shot me unconscious, seconds later I'm dead.

Fun times but wtf, I understand the Longhorn shouldn't be super accurate but a definite hit from 3m away? i heard it was 1 hit kill anywhere but arms or legs.

If its not one hit kill or debilitating in one shot what's the point in it? Beyond how cool it sounds.

Like all guns it should only be as good as the player wielding it.

You were the victim of shitty hit detection and crappy desync. Don't worry, this will DEFINITELY get fixed ……… ;) if you know what I mean. Aka won't

It typically has really great damage and accuracy, especially that close.. but it may be that its zeroed for longer distances? Making you have to aim quite low to hit if someone is close to you. I dunno, thats a stretch on my part to figure it out besides desync and lag. 

 

I found its range.. need gews to confirm this, but on testing I found that it simply would not put a round past a certain distance.. let me go calculate that distance really quick

 

I believe its around 400m.

 

Can you confirm this Gews? or anyone else?

Don't use a single fire scoped pistol at point blank range and a 9mm automatic pistol at 100 meters... Problem solved

It's 2x less accurate than the SkS and 3x more accurate than the other pistols.

I was just testing out guns I knew it was ridiculous but the two Longhorn shots I aimed should have hit, both players were stationary too especially the second guy.

It's 2x less accurate than the SkS and 3x more accurate than the other pistols.

But with only one shot I still don't see the point in it.

I believe it will put a round further than 400m, how far I'm not sure but from our experience with it (someone standing at the Northern Most bar in Berezino and someone just running down the tracks) with a bit of wind and angle changing, we managed to keep hitting the wall. Again, we couldn't confirm exactly how far it was but I would of sworn it was more than 400m.
