Make this a spammed thread and every one of you will be bleeding.

I have a rather different suggestion for the barret, I noticed that the "Bullet start power" is high when first fired, so I thought maybe it could be weakish at the start (enough to "nerf" the 1 hit kill at point blank range) and gains power the further the bullet goes, up to it's maximum after a short time... What do you think?

I think this was suggested somewhere before, but it was only a post, and not its own thread. Good suggestion anyway.

That's a good idea, but I love the m79... Sill cool though![:-spin]

unrealistic, would be too funky, no.

Good idea! After all, its supposed to be a SNIPER rifle, so using it at point blank or even in just normal combat is a lot more unrealistic than the solution. If I had to choose between this and what I previously thought of as the best way to handle it, which was letting shots interrupt your reload (Note: I am not, and never will, intentionally suggesting this. I'm using it for comparison only), this would be a landslide victory. Pat yourself on the back.

it would be unrealistic, but as Brickman said, it beats some of the other suggestions.

Hmm...
Interestin.That's all.I'd like to try that out xD

wait so your saying that at point blank range they won't die but at long range they will... reality speak it sounds kinda funn y but this is soldat and it would make the barret used properly so i say [^]

I like the idea, way better than my suggestions.

BTW - Is Che Guevara and skate4razors using the same/similar @\/@7@R?

And Jap man.He too.But he was the first.
sorry for offing ^^

Bullets that speed up over time is just completely stupid >_<
Besides, the barrett's bullet power is 272.25. You'd have to slow down the bullet a whole damn lot to reduce it's power to not-one-hit-kill.

Wow, I think That would be great.

Wait a second, who said anything about speed? Shouldn't they just be changing the damage instead. Even if the speed does determine damage of a bullet in this game (and it doesn't, look at shotgun), they don't have to stick to that formula. changing the actual speed would screw up all the experienced ppl.

The speed isn't linked to power, BmanX2000.

Amen to this idea. Close range is a nerfed barret...use the sniper rifle as it should be used, at long range. In my opinion, this beats any of the other suggestions for nerfing this gun. Why should the speed of the shot matter? Keep that the same...make damage dependant on the distance the bullet flies, as was originally suggested.

hmmm.....this would be like the opposite of Autos, which gains power the closer it gets.

Come to think of it, this wouldn't be TOO unrealistic, imagine a point blank shot from a sniper rifle, it would definitly go though the body, and going though the body is actually better then having the bullet stuck, as far as I know (It should cause less shock for the victim, thus reducing damage).

Don't flame me if I'm wrong please, just point out my mistake.

All in all, I think this would be a pretty good idea.

...YES.

*humps LazehBoi*

Thumbs up.

seems to be worth a try imho.

It's an alright idea, well atleast better than most ideas around here.
But couldnt you just use the weapons editor that's coming out to change the speed etc.?

You can probably just alter stats, sounds and looks, but not gameplay mechanics. So far no weapon gains damage as it goes, so you would have no way to implement it unless you are a codemaster.

Yes they do, all guns gain damage the closer it is to the enemy, and your momentium will also give it more damage too.

Eh, I don't like this idea, being a barretter and all., but I can understand why other people like it so much.
