Gun visuals check-up

[glossy birch]

Cotw's rifles need some kind of maintenance check-up visually.
There are many visual issues around. Some rifles have some odd phenomena.
I encourage the community to collect them in this thread to enable EW to fix them.

Here are some:

Vallgarda: Always shows roundnose bullets in the reload animation, even if the pointy polymertip rounds are chosen. Breaks the immersion. E.g. the .50 cal muzzle loader DOES respect the ammotype upon reloading - so should the vallgarda do as well. Pointy bullets please upon polymertips usage please.

Solokin: Some oddity when you look into the open chamber upon reloading. Some weird clipping.

In general: Changing ammotypes does not result in complete unloading of rifles with fixed (internal) magazines before filling in the new ammo type (e.g. on Nordin, Strandberg, Cacchiatore, Malmer, Olson, Vallgarda, etc.). That way you can stuff hundrets of rounds into the rifle when you repeatedly change ammo. Not in a gameplay manor (the mag bullet counter does not increase unplausibly) but visually. Changing ammo in those kinds of rifles should trigger a complete unload animation before stuffing new bullets in.

(don't know which rifle it was): round stuck in the chamber upon reload animation

(Don't know which rifle it was): you can look through the closed bolt action

Eckers: really low resolution of the texture of the back end of t he rifle (the end, that points to the user... the stock and the metal parts).

@EW: Please do a complete visual check-up for all the rifles ingame to clean those nasty little immersion breakers.
@Community: Please add you finding to the list.

Addendum: If you reload a not completely emptied rifle with a fixed (internal) magazine you eject one unfired round. So far so correct. But you need to re-add the ejected unfired round too.

Example: Malmer... 3 round mag. 1 round fired. You want to fill up. You reload and eject correctly one unfired chambered round upon opening of the bolt. Now you need to reload two rounds to get to a full three round mag. Right now the animation reloads just one round. Same for Olson and Vallgarda. This is technically wrong.

Next issue: 7mm (one shot rifle, non-dlc) the bullet is placed to deep into the barrel. This way the bullet is not correctly backed upon firing as there would be much empty space at the back at the cartridge. Also the striker could not hit it.

The eckers and coachmate don't have a recoil pad either

Not exactly a rifle issue, but the angler scope does illuminate the whole screen not only the area in the scope itself.
Also: Rifle scopes zoom in the whole screen not only the area of the glass of the scope.

Bump

[cold crater]

The rifle that always has a round in the chamber is the .223 Docent and the closed bolt you can see through is the F.L sporter .303

[glossy birch]

Thanks... feel free to add more odd things, that EW should consider if the did a check-up on the visuals.

[cold crater]

First one that comes to mind is the .470 that has a "bolt cycling" animation after firing 1 round and then trying to reload

[glossy birch]

Exactly... i almost forgot this one. This also needs a fix. I noticed it (again) last week. Thanks for bringing it to the table.

[cold crater]

I play alot with the .470 so it's really annoying

[glossy birch]

Agreed. I use it from time to time and always put it back into the storage because of this immersion breaker

[civic hill]

don’t forget the 12 gauge shells need to be remodeled because they’re tiny

[cold crater]

The Mårtensson has a round stuck on the chamber, but only when in the reload animation

[glossy birch]

True. In fact the O/U 10 gauge reminds me more of a traditional 12 ga clay shooting gun because those cartridges feel more 12 ga, than the real 12 ga guns in this game so. Yes, they are too small.

ok i made a list of all the issues with shotguns, rifles and handguns with specific refernce to models and animations, im gonna post it in 3 parts becuase its longer than discord will allow me to post lol

Issues pt.1 ;
.223 Docent has round stuck in the chamber
.270 mag clips into hand when reloading (All .270 models)
.300 Canning stock can be seen through open chamber
7mm Regent & Empress magnum round sits too deep in rifle
Can see into chamber of F.L Sporter when the bolt is closed & Hand clips through trigger gaurd when reloading F.L Sporter
No animation to flip up Gandahare rifle sight (like on .470)
.50 Caliber Minie ball has the model of the .45 pellet ammo & ball ammo leaves a paper stuck on the muskets muzzel
.470 King has a "bolt racking" animation when the player reloads after firing 1 shot and exiting aim mode, only occurs when manual chambering is on
M1 could have a offset scope instead of a unusably high and ucgly scout mount
7mm Malmer scope mount doesnt fit on the back

Issue pt.2 ;
Moradi's ejection port opens and closes quickly when reloading
Martesson 6.5mm has a round in the chamber after inserting new mag but before closing bolt and chambering a round
Ranger .243 hand clips through trigger guard when reloading & bottom piece of scope mount is unnecessary
Solokhin MN1890 entire bolt is completely mangled
Hand clips through scope mount of Withlock Model 86 & mount attaches to flat surface
.44 magnum is single action and has to be slowly manually cocked after firing in both hip fire and aimed mode (.45 Rollseteen can fire without manually cocking when hip firing)
end of .22lr Anderson reload animation is unnaturally fast
Focoso .357 should be double action
Mangiafico .45/.410 only models .410 shells going into the gun & coming out even when .45 colt is loaded
Every Shell loaded into the Cacciatore 12ga is green and comes out red, a round is ejected after firing and after pumping, if the ammo type is changed the rounds being reloaded go invisible when reloading & ejecting
Cavershman & grankhins shotgun, shells are comically small

Issues pt.3 ;
Couso 16ga, every shell is modeled as a slug (white shell)
Drelk drilling, Every shotgun shell is modeled as a buckshot shell (green red stripe) and remove both shotgun shells by hand after only firing 1
Shells clip through Nordin shotgun when firing
Valgara .375 doesn't change ammo models when changing ammo, also no animation to flip up sights (like .470) also Hyperion scope is ill fitting in front
hand clips in Vazquez .45 when hip firing

Minor gripes ;
.45-70 Coachmate scope attaches to a flat metal side
.338 Rangemaster (Championship as well) scope attaches to nothing
