Pistoleer Archive

so how far away can you shoot a deer with your pistol mighty vgiest? hmm? i will bet that i can shoot farther with my bow then you can with a pistol.

and yes pistols have PLENTY of punch up to 20m but coming out going 1000 fps and with 200 grain bullets it dont last to long.

is anyone gonna answer this survey or not? i can tell it must be false, either that or you people just dont know?

and for you ludwin, what else are they based off of? Old west gunfighting ? must be a pistoleer cause there is no talking any sense into you or vgiest, face it pistols just dont have what carbines and rifles have accuracy and power. think about it

rifles can shoot accurately from 0 to over 1km

carbines can shoot accurately from 0 to over 300m

pistols can shoot from 0 to 50m

so if we take the game 64 meters being the max shooting distance then pistols shouldnt be able to hit past 10m, to make it like what real guns can do, not to mention the loss of knockdown a pistol has past 30m has dropped of dramatically

Real life bullets (9mm, .45) travel slower than rifle or assault rifle bullets (5.56mm, .30'06). Because of this lower speed, their damage and accuracy drops off faster as the range increases. That being said, a pistol bullet can still travel a really long distance. As vandar mentioned, the accuracy of a pistol is going to go to crap much sooner than the bullet's ability to fly.

Now, I don't know much about what SW guns are supposed to be made of, but even a plain ol' laser (a beam of light), will have some attenuation of strength at longer range. After all, less solar energy hits pluto than hits Earth, and you can't shine a laser pointer pen across town. If SW guns are using something like supercharged balls of gas, then, well, there are reasons those could attenuate too.

Blitz, write down all your great ideas and PM them to the devs. I'm sure they'll appreciate your mad genius more than us.

vgiest unless you have anything intelligent to say stay off my post, all you do is come in here and talk trash, and finally the most intelligent person here just put a post up, but as far as his laser theory then i say lets all have the same weapon like in star trek, we can go around shooting people with remote controls and nobody will have an advantage, and we can all shoot at infinate ranges and not be restricted, then there will be no gunfighters or commandos, or riflemen or carbineers, hell that sounds like a good idea

One more thing while im at it here about your beams of light, why is there different types of guns in SWG then, we have energy,heat,acid,cold,blast, electricity, and of course all of these are beams of lasers that can travel infinately right? and of course the power source of this comes from that itty bitty little pistol you use? while a rifleman takes a gun 6 times the size and probibly with a bigger power source can only hit things far away and get raped up close because of negative defense the riflemen get up close?

so explain that everyone that said this game is lasers only, (i didnt see one word about a laser in the examination of ANY gun)

I *am* George Lucas. And I couldn't care less. It's a GAME, people!
