New Weapons

[austere thistle]

What do you guys think about some new Rifles going into the game? I've got a few ideas:

#1 The Gewehr 43, which is Chambered in 7.92x57 Mauser (just a little bigger than a .308

#2: The SVT-40 which is chambered in 7.62x54R (the same as the Solokhin)

#3: The Remington MSR, which can be chambered in either 7.62x51 NATO, .300 Mag, or
338 Mag.

I'd be fine with this

[dull sinew]

I like the selection except the MSR. I'd rather get a new platform action for 308, 338, or 300 win.

[rustic umbra]

Feel like the MSR is a little out of place.

[austere thistle]

That's fair. But let me tell you why I picked the MSR. It's one of the most accurate rifles in the entire world, hence why it's used in the military. It's light, maneuverable, and has a maximum range of around 1,640 yards or 1500 meters.

[rustic umbra]

Is it even used in hunting though? Can’t say anyone likes the godawful Tsurgi.

[austere thistle]

It's available to civillians, and believe it or not, it is used in hunting, albeit big game exclusive.

[rustic umbra]

I’ve seen at most one article that points to this claim.

[austere thistle]

Believe what you like. I personally think the MSR would be a good addition to the game, but I'm curious to see what you think about the other 2 rifles.

[rustic umbra]

The other two are great.

[austere thistle]

Do you have any other suggestions? I'm eager to hear your ideas.

[dull sinew]

I dont mind the tsurgi bc its a bolt 338 however if we had a traditional wood stock varient I'd use it more otherwise I use the single more often.

[dull sinew]

Browning BAR 338 would be better if your going with 338 as a semi variant.

[austere thistle]

The BAR? I can get behind that!

[rustic umbra]

It’s big, heavy, and ugly.
It’s a cool target shooting gun… hunting not so much.

[dull sinew]

Not the classic WWll Bar the Modern Hunting Bar rifles. Besides the 470, grandhare, & the traditional blackpowder all have alot of weight as well

Its the MK 3 I believe

[rustic umbra]

I was referring to the Tssurgi.
That thing is super ugly, the BAR however…
The M1918 BAR and Hunting BAR (Can’t remember the model designation) are beautiful and an incredible feat of engineering.

[dull sinew]

🤣 ah my bad yea the L96 clone wasnt the best choice for the model I'll agree however after being able to use the cosmetic paint packs I got it to be tolerable. I'd like it way more if we had the option to use the wood pallets on all our weapons. I hate 70% of them being restricted to polymer.

[rustic umbra]

I also feel like the wood varnishes you can put on are either too big or too small and way too flat in texture for it to even be a viable option for me.

The only gun I can think of that looks decent with it on is the Ollson

[dull sinew]

Yea since we have a single & bolt action already a semi would be the next option action wise. Though I'd still rather have a wood stock bolt action. But the BAR MK 3 would be my next choice since it pairs with your list for semi auto actions.

[dull sinew]

I paired alot of my rifles with the dark tiger wood pattern or I guess would be walnut if I'm able. If not its in kryptek yeti or nomad

[brave verge]

I like stuff capable of long range but unfortunately EW won't upgrade the game engine to make it capable of rendering much past 440yds, so it's potential is pretty wasted here.

[remote summit]

I don’t mind the Tsurugi. It’s just super huge and wieldy. Looks like something out of an old Cabelas game.

[austere thistle]

That still doesn't take out the accuracy though. It's maximum range is 1640 yards. Which means it can still put a hole in the middle of a dime at 440. Plus, it's capable of taking down pretty much anything in-game.

[brave verge]

Plenty of other firearms in the game already are as accurate, though. sub-MoA isn't going to be significant under 600yds so platforms like the Arzyna, Mårtensson, and the Zagan/Docent will keyhole at 300yds. Something to remember is that mechanically, the accuracy rating of firearms in CotW has more to do with their stability (e.g. how much the sight picture "sways" in ADS) than actual empirical accuracy.

I do think the MSR looks super cool and I'd still like to see more options for firearms choices in game, though.

[austere thistle]

Never even thought of that. I always thought that they accuracy rating was based on the bullet itself. Something to think about, I guess.

[brave verge]

Next time you get a chance, try out some of the less accurate weapons like the Tsurugi or the Rangemaster at the gun range. use the hyperion scope and see if you can get a silver dollar at 300yds. then compare it to something like the Docent .223 and you'll see what I mean.

[austere thistle]

I'll definitely try that out.

[sand field]

Honestly. They already added the 338 lapua tsurugi and a semi-auto .300mag. Why not an msr i guess? Yes they are out of place. But it is the way hunting is turning to now. Although its more of the lightweight, mountain style tactical whatevers now. I prefer wood on my guns but i do like a little polymer here and there. Depends on how its used.

[dull sinew]

I suggested a BAR 338 instead since we already have a single & bolt action. Might as well get a semi thats actually used. Msr is a fine platform but more for target & service. Sig Cross is a modern hunting rifle thats compact, light, & reliable. Though I will agree todays niche on hunting firarms are becoming more tac related both in look & function. But to be fair it comes down to utility and use these days. Armalite's are on the rise so it makes sense to apply them bc they have alot of utility no matter the use.

[sand field]

I’d love a bar in 338. And it still has that classic look to it.

[dull sinew]

Bond Arms LVRB is an example that I'm really looking fwd to getting in 450Bush along with 2 additional uppers so I have one unit for 2 hunts & competition. •Armalite + Lever Action = LVRB.

[dull sinew]

BAR MK3 I believe is the current model on the market.

[austere thistle]

I believe it's also known as the H.C.A.R

[sand field]

Thats a 30-06 version

[austere thistle]

It is a 30-06, but I'm pretty sure it can be rechambered.
