Is weapon deviation "realistic"?
Posted: 2009-04-16 11:29
I'm just wondering. I've never shot a rifle in combat conditions, so I guess I wouldn't really know. I know there's vets on here though.
In many ways I LOVE the weapon deviation because it prolongs firefights. That combined with suppression effects = firefights lasting several minutes instead of seconds. But on the other hand, when I've got a tango 50 feet away, I drop prone, wait 1 second and shoot and miss by 2 feet I'm kinda thinking.... I could have pulled that off in real life.
I mean, it's not like AKs, M16s are huge bulky bolt action rifles. They're pretty small.
Granted, again I haven't ever shot one in a battle.
Any input on this from vets?
