The presence of gravity... now a question.

[Schalldämpfer]

I've heard that the sniper rifle bullets are affected by gravity and thus fall a little when travelling long distances. If this is true, when one shoots something straight up and stands still, will the bullet hit him?

You will find different answers. I have not noticed any drop, but others swear by it.

Would be really hard to point exactly straight up. Just a bit off will be huge because of the range of most weapons.

I also have read several posts and have yet to find out if there is a drop or not.

Re: The presence of gravity... now a question.

yea i find you have to aim just a little bit over there heads for the bullet to hit them

Re: The presence of gravity... now a question.

yes there is bullet drop, I saw some videos a while back in slo mo

Why the heck dont they put this on the game manual, wake up EA? not only did they rush the game, but a simple instruction booklet too!

Try firing a noob-toob round straight up.. (or, close.. you can't actually point STRAIGHT up)... You can fire one up, then run forward enough to get pegged by it when it comes back down a minute or so later...

how is this relevant in any way?

Yes this would be my original movie showing the bullet drop effect on the M95. Heres the link to the new one i made.

Here are my other 2 videos, both the same, just the shot has been slowed in the second.

Here is normal speed.

Here is slow motion.

Nice video, Zagashi! thumbs up!

Re: The presence of gravity... now a question.

The M95 has more drop than the M24... but you have to be at EXTREME ranges to notice it. Ranges of 300m or less, you probably won't see any drop. 300m and more, however, you will start to see clouds of dust as your bullet drops short of the target.

Re: The presence of gravity... now a question.

I recommend viewing my original movie, and its slow mo version as they are much more high res and show the effect more clearly.

Re: The presence of gravity... now a question.

If you guys would actually check the tweak files you would see there is no bullet drop coded into the game. Those videos show either what happens when people don't have a stellar connection or fps lag.

Ok so the topic is on Gravity, here is another Bullet related experiment.

Hypothetical:
(Other Variables such as Wind don't apply)

Imagine Mr X was standing on top of a train with a gun.
Now this gun shoots bullets, at exactly 100mph.
The train that Mr X is standing on is also going exactly 100m/h.
Up ahead is Ms Y, she is standing on the tracks.

Now suppose Mr X shoots Ms Y with this gun going at 100mph, how fast would the bullet go?

Answer: Exactly 200m/h
---------------------------------------------
Now what would happen if this experiment was reversed:

Hypothetical:
(Other Variables such as Wind don't apply)

Imagine Mr X was standing on top of a train with a gun.
Now this gun shoots bullets, at exactly 100mph.
The train that Mr X is standing on is also going exactly 100m/h.
Behind the train is Ms Y, she is standing on the tracks.

Now suppose Mr X shoots Ms Y with this gun while the train is going at 100mph in the opposite direction, how fast would the bullet go?

Answer: 0mph

Yes, it's true. Once the bullet leaves the end of the barrel, it would see that the bullet would fall to the ground. As Newton's Law of Physics state every action has a reaction!

Um Im pretty sure by now that bullet drop is in the game one way or another, be it a glitch or actually part of the game, its there. Ive let many of my friends try the same with a 50 cal sniper, and they all get the same results, so the M95 bullets do start to drop.
