The SA80.

If you are in CQB within 5m of an enemy, just pull your knife out and go for them. You have a better chance than with a gun, lol! I've been testing this theory out recently and if within 5m of 3 enemies who aren't particularly good players I can usually take 2 of them out before the third shoots me finally.

the guns are not zeroed in the way you think, the bullet does not go above the scope ever, each bullet has a gravity modifer so m40a3 bullets drop less then a m16.

I took out 6 flag defenders in one go with this. I admit I surprised them, got between them (forcing crossfire on them) and changed my stance a lot.

Yeah. Bullets come from the center of the screen which has been lined up with the top of the post/center of the crosshair of each weapon. Zeroing is possible at this stage by the implementation isn't perfect.

well i have a way of zeroing the guns i think it is the same as yours, i just need to get a missile to have thrust without tracking something then it should work fine.


ned could you please elaborate on your idea for zeroing the guns i am very interested in your way.

[Mekstizzle]

I could swear the guns are zeroed in. From my experience, it very much seems like they are. Even the guide says it.

Assault Rifles in Project Reality are "zeroed" at 300m. With the BF2 engine this means that you will only have to compensate for the bullets trajectory at distances greater than this.

Weapons - Project Reality Wiki

I know it says you only have to compensate after 300m, but I swear.....you really have to do the opposite at shorter ranges. I just can't seem to land shots - even after "resting"

Zangoo: I've relocated the barrel relative to the sights. Not as good as moving the sights relative to the barrel but hey.

Mekstizzle: if anything all the guns are zeroed at 0m as the rounds comes from the centre of the crosshair/tip of front post

[zangoo]

the guide says that but the tweak file says something diffrent. also nedlands did you find a way to angle the barrel or is the barrel just higher up using ObjectTemplate.fire.projectileStartPosition 0.1/-0.15/0?

The SA80 is king on Basrah.

Bullet don't drop till they hit the zeroed point in BF2's engine, what each weapon is zeroed at is something for a dev to say, if it's realistic, it should be about 500m on the SA80A2.
