1: NC

2: NC and TR

3: NC, TR and Vanu

[Chosrau]

I think the differences for vanu between the rifles tend to be in the damage output vs speed of projectiles vs reload times, since they don't have bullet drop.

Where does this come from? I see lots of people proclaiming this. But last time I checked, Vanu Sniper Rifles do have bullet drop.

None of the other vanu rifles do though.

The conversation was about sniper/scout rifles, though. I see this tossed around a lot, even though it's plainly not true if you've ever read the wiki or played Inf as VS. Not sure if it's honest ignorance, willful ignorance, or maliciousness.

I'm gonna make a character on Mattherson. I'm assuming we have an outfit. anyone on?

EDIT: Crap sorry double post. I'm not paying attention today.

scout rifles don't have drop do they? I thought that the only guns with drop were the bolt-actions. In fact, I'm pretty certain of it; I'll go some !!SCIENCE!! real quick.

[TolyK]

Funny, I haven't experienced any drop with the stock sniper rifle, though I haven't done any very-long-range sniping...
Yeah, it looks like it's only bolt-action ones, from my end.

[Tylui]

Allrighty no science needed thank you sir.

Yeah, that's why I don't bother with a suppressor on my bolt actions. The reduced velocity makes the drop just ridiculous.

I should probably play a faction with drop to get used to it... I'm too comfy with vanu guns.

[Silent_Thunder]

You really shouldn't be sniping with a supressor anyway. What you should be doing is slapping on a 12x scope and making that shot from the next base over 

[MorleyDev]

Ah, I was mistaken then. I was under the impression Vanu sniper rifles lacked bullet drop the same as their weaponry. Which is odd considering I started the game as a Vanu Infiltrator before jumping ship to the TR xD Shows how crappy my memory is, I guess

No, both semi-autos and bolt actions have weapon drop, regardless of faction. This can be easily confirmed just sitting around at the warp gate and shooting rocks in the distance.

I would make a VS character in a second if I knew I could get two shot headshots from any range without having to compensate for bullet drop.

[Silent_Thunder]

Just a reminder that we are trying to get an outfit going for bay12. So if you have a NC on Matherson, or hell just a spare character slot, add SilentHastati, ToasterTheAwesome, or Duuvian on Matherson to get the invites.

Then make a VS character, because you are wrong. I just spent the last hour with my default VA39 Sprectre double-tapping smurfs from ~300m or more(not good judge of distance...[seriously, how can you be without depth perception? i don't get it...])

[Silent_Thunder]

I think the default VS sniper doesnt have bullet drop, but the bolt action one does. On the other hand the VS default also has some damage degredation at distance, which makes it VERY ill suited for ultra long range combat, although needing to land more than one shot rules that out anyway.

[Flying Dice]

Sorry, I should have clarified: VS bolt actions have bullet drop. The scout rifles and semiautomatic sniper rifles do not. This can be easily confirmed by checking the ripped weapon data. My issue is that I've seen people claim that the bolt actions don't have drop, when they clearly do.

Whoops, my mistake.

That's bullshit then, and I'm probably going to try it out sometime soon.
