Weapon pack 6

[fathom harbor]

Just a pack for anyone interested in some different weapons. No particular theme, just rifles I'd love to see hope others want them too.

Break action .454 single shot, giving the .454 the same upgrade as the Moradi gave the .44. The massive penetration and class coverage are balanced by the single cartridge. It'll still punch through the buffalo but it'll reach a little farther.

Lever action .338, 7-9. A new design for a good cartridge, holds 4 rounds in a box magazine with a slightly faster rate of fire and a bit more recoil than the Tsurugi bolt action.

Straight pull 7x57mm, 3-7. A light rifle favored by people who enjoy tracking their game in thick forests and fast to target for driven hunts. Soft point and polymer tipped ammo.

Here's some alternate looks for the straight pull more designed for the driven hunt crew

[primal vortex]

All for more single break actions & lever rifles. I'm at odds with the 3rd choice but theres something for everyone so its a 👍 for me.

[fathom harbor]

I know it looks really weird but I'm kinda interested in it. Also, to be honest, I chose it because I thought no one else would care for a single .30-30

[potent python]

A is this 338lapua or 338 marlin express

[primal vortex]

I defn. would

[fathom harbor]

.338 win mag. Just a step up from the .300

[potent python]

Ok

[fathom harbor]

The in game .338 doesn't feel like a lapua anyway, I tried one out with a few rounds and the game doesn't do it any justice

[potent python]

There is no 338 win lever with a box mag that I know of

[fathom harbor]

Browning did a BLR in .338 for a few years, but it didn't last very long in production

[potent python]

Just a thought why not 358 win a bit beefier

[fathom harbor]

I'd take it but I'm not sure how many other people would care.

[potent python]

Ok it was just a thought

[fathom harbor]

I do have a couple ideas for alternates that I'm trying to get pics of right now tho

[potent python]

Here’s another 450 marlin

[fathom harbor]

Alternative to either straight pull or lever action.

Benelli R1 can be chambered in either .338 win mag or .270 winchester. 4 shots, semi auto

[potent python]

Better the another AR not that there is anything wrong with them just more variety

[compact vapor]

There’s quite a few I can think of…

[fathom harbor]

Alternative for the lever action

Either a Henry Long Ranger .308/box mag 5 rd OR a Marlin .450 Marlin

[potent python]

338 win not 338 marlin that like a 30-06 which would be cool

[compact vapor]

338 win.

[potent python]

Ok got pics

[compact vapor]

Look above.

[primal vortex]

If we get anymore Armalites I would rather get a bolt or a lever

[potent python]

Same or a regular semi

[primal vortex]

The LVRB looks amazing & bolt platforms feel more genuine while still being familiar with the platform. In truth I would like to see EW introduce more action variants over standard actions. Add some more diversity to the mix.

[fathom harbor]

That's kinda why I didn't want to choose a regular bolt action. I do have one I'd pick tho

[potent python]

I’d like a UPR better

[fathom harbor]

I suppose in a modern weapons sense I'd like a .350 legend

[primal vortex]

If I did Bolt I'd get a Uintah Precision.

[primal vortex]

That could be ideal in a Modern pk 2. Dissent, LVRB, & a (UPR Bolt AR)

I know the LVRB comes in 223 Wylde, 350 Legend, 450 Bushmaster & 300Blkout.

[fathom harbor]

I was looking at ammo types and from .30-40 I got redirected to .338 ARC, it's cursed af and makes me hate modern weapons and ammo

[primal vortex]

338 ARC?

[primal vortex]

wtf is that supposed to be let alone for???

[fathom harbor]

I haven't the slightest idea, but I'm sure some idiot will try hunting grizzlies with it and wonder how it went wrong while he's getting mauled

[primal vortex]

Sry but the 300blk made sense but this is a stretch even for Hornady

[fathom harbor]

"Should we do this?" Is not a question people are smart enough to ask anymore

[primal vortex]

So apparently, it's specifically for coyotes & hogs

[fathom harbor]

I'm not surprised, I guess, but honestly what's the point? You can already use an AR for them, there's cheaper and more available ammo, you can find parts for them easily enough, why do you need a cursed cartridge? What's wrong with a pistol caliber?

[primal vortex]

I guess due to the ups n downs of the 300blk gas system between can & no can is vast w/ sub & supers the 338arc remedies that issue and is compliant to the arc series with the best subsonic performance. But from testing there's no issues with sub or super with the gas system. But quite literally designed to hunt yotes & pigs & I guess it does perform better than the 300blk at the range with grouping. I'll dig in it more but thats the overall jist of it.

[fathom harbor]

Just let me have a nice .30-06 or .270 or something

[primal vortex]

For those who want to look at it •338ARC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yraizSaFzXM

Idt I'd buy it personally although an advantage I do see would be the use of powder for reloading although bullet wise might be a bit pricier than my liking given its use. Besides I prefer bolt, lever, & single break actions over semis unless it's an M1.

[fathom harbor]

There's also a .360 buckhammer, a beefed up .35 Remington that's making a reputation for taking animals effectively at 200yds plus.

[primal vortex]

all for the 360BH

[potent python]

I’m down for that

[fiery pendant]

There's dude that hunted a Cape Buffalo with 8.6 BLK which from what I understand is almost the same thing, sub sonic .338 bullets just in a better feeding case

[potent python]

8.6 blk can do it it’s got the weight and speed and expansion

[compact vapor]

The people who made 8.6Blk hunted cape buffalo with it*

[compact vapor]

Kevin Brittingham - 310gr sub

The same guy who made the honey badger btw

[fiery pendant]

Yup, it's Q LLC on YouTube
Kevin Brittingham has shot from Buffalo, Lion and Hippo with the 8.6 to Impala and Jackal if I'm not mistaken

[fathom harbor]

I wonder why I don't care for the Arc/Spectre

[fiery pendant]

Better marketing by Q perhaps ?

[fathom harbor]

It just looks cursed to me. Anyway, we have enough AR types.

Let's get something different, how about a single shot in .270 or .30-06, maybe even a .358 or .303

[compact vapor]

I quite like the bolt action one.

You can’t deny a 2-9 rifle sounds fantastic.

[fathom harbor]

I'm an old man at heart

[fiery pendant]

I'd love the Q fix in 8.6 Blk one-day either with new suppressor mechanics or just with the same mechanics as the .45 air rifle

[primal vortex]

the .45 PCP needs a reclass as well at 2-5 it blows my mind it isn't. & I think they fixed the hunting stress for it but I haven't used it in a long while so dont quote me.

[fiery pendant]

The pressure effect it makes now is about equal to a bow, it also alerts animals the same way a bow does when it's fired. It's actually quite a bit of fun imo

[fathom harbor]

This is the Airforce Texan, it's a .50 caliber air rifle that has been used to successfully and ethically take down game as big as elk, eland, and plains bison. This thing could easily be a 4-8 air rifle (making it the only 4-8 I wouldn't be annoyed by if it was added)

[primal vortex]

Having a few of them irl the .45 stress needs to be between bow & rifle w/o a can. With a can yea it would be the same as a bow. 45cal & above have a pop to them even 22cals have a snap w/o a can. Not to mention 30cal+ PCP's are more than suitable to hunt class 5 game which why I'm upset EW didn't do their homework.

[potent python]

I was playing with the 6.5 and it needs a bit of a buff it’s of at 4-5 game but class 6+ it struggled

[fathom harbor]

Yep, we all agree on that and have since it came out tbh. Devs just never changed it

[potent python]

Yeah it single lunged a red deer at 308 ran almost 200yrds from the place it was shot but at 50yrds it dose well on boar

[fathom harbor]

Part of the reason I made this

[potent python]

Well I added some ideas for new 2-5 but there older weapons so two birds one stone
