Ammo Update/ New classes for Existing Weapons

[trim anchor]

Why have we not gotten something this basic in 8 years?

This idea has been talked about on this discord for longer than I've been a member, this is not a new idea, approach or anything even especially innovative.

Just give us a set of alternative ammo for the rifles. All you have to do is make a second ammo set and make it a different class range, even if it just adds one class.

Say you add a set of ammo to the .270, making it work for 2-6 and change absolutely nothing about the rifle or in game description except the class range and the color of the polymer tipped bullet. That's it, that's all we need to have a massive improvement in gameplay.

Honestly, you don't even have to change the color, just the class range. Anything is better than fixed class nonsense were still dealing with after every other aspect of the game has changed. I'd even be happy to pay normal weapon pack prices.

A couple suggestions

.22-250 add 3-6
.270 add 3-7
.30-30 add 3-7 (the new rifle is a letdown without this)
.300 CM add 5-8
6.5 add 2-6
.45-70 add 6-9
.450 BM add 3-6
.375 add 5-9
.30-06 add 3-7
.308 add 2-6

All of these rifles have been used to take animals in these size ranges with no issues and surprisingly good performance. It's not unreasonable to want to use our favorite rifles for as much of our play time as we want.

For the .270, 300 magnum, 6.5mm, and 450 BM it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to give them all slight jump up in power for the base game ammo, making them better contenders for the class ranges they already have. I'd also like to see magnum birdshot for all shotguns and heavy 357 magnum and 10mm ammo since both feel like they're using the reduced loads that are on the market, most know about the 10mm being too much for the fbi and 357 had its official specs lowered because of all the silly snub nose revolvers built on 5 shot 38 frames. Another thing I'd like to add, lets not get a useless hollow point or soft point for anything anymore. Everyone knows that one ammo works and the other doesn't. Pictured is 190 grain fmj 10mm auto and 180 grain hard cast 357 magnum.

In my opinion the biggest and most eye catching example is the inline muzzleloader people hunt everything from duiker in Africa to bison to elephants sheep deer elk moose all with a muzzleloader but the in game one only takes class 4-8 good example is classic had two ammo types for it one is for deer sized animals and the other for big game up to buffalo and it preforms great

9.3x74R 7-9 ammo type alongside a less situational rifle (CZ550)

[trim anchor]

The Anschutz 1782 is an updated version of the the 9.3x62mm from Classic and could be incredible as another 4-9 like the 7mm but with better performance on class 8 and 9 animals

[tawdry moat]

The tried doing that with the caplock having multiple ammo class ranges

This one is worth a kidney

[trim anchor]

. . .so, I can sell a kidney. . . And get one of these?

I only need one right?

[thorny nexus]

you'll need to give up contact sport but its possible...

[trim anchor]

Never cared for sports anyway

[stuck rock]

The variety of bullets of the same ammo needs to be increased.

45-70 with SP expansion to 10(12) is my dream. 6-9 class for this is ideal.

[tawdry moat]

up it to like 50 pen and 12 expansion to have a magnum ammo. make the current one 3-7 since it is not capable of 8 and 9.

[sinful fable]

The 1782 costs around 2600€ when i configure it like i would want it. So its not a budget gun, but a farcry from the Price of a Blaser R8 or Merkel RX Helix @trim anchor

Sounds like a mid range custom rifle build, nothing Uber fancy just nice and well made

Norma offer the Evostrike bullet for .270's with a 96gr monometal bullet. Lead free. This bullet is designed for particularly light game like chamois, roe deer, axis deer, and blackbuck antelope or larger predators like coyotes, lynx, bobcat, and jackals

[sinful fable]

Yeah. Thats true.

!clean 10

[timid shale]

Cleaning...

[magic grotto]

oh my god Zepp just clean the 10 bumps.

[trim anchor]

Lol, have fun with that

[magic grotto]

I am not gonna do it manually because lets be real - the minute I do, Zepp will be like 'Oh you need me to do something??? OKAY!' and then its ten messages of actual convo, poof

[trim anchor]

Would it help if I deleted my own then?

[magic grotto]

No

cos like, actual concern is that it will still kick in and delete the last 10 messages from the command queue

Just wait it out

maybe the bot owner does a reset and it catches up

[trim anchor]

Maybe, but if it doesn't work for you then let me know and I'll clear what I can

[magic grotto]

np, in the least - some convo in the thread 😂

[trim anchor]

It honestly got more traction than I expected to be fair

[digital merlin]

Not even 308 can put down a moose fast, i am very disappointed. If the guns aren’t realistically made why would people want them? 308 was good before something changed, medium is good for moose, but not low on a broadside like cmon man fix the ammo EW

[little mist]

That Makes me Mad because I've dropped moose with .30-30, .270, .308, .30-06, and many others IRL
