Re: silenced sniper rifal

Once again. I think he's being sarcastic people... Obviously no one is idiotic enough to spew off like that.

If he is. Wouldn't it do the forums so good just to ignore em' instead of starting an entire branch of thought off of ignorance?

This isn't the movies. A silencer still sounds like a bomb going of when you use the big rifle calibers.

Re: silenced sniper rifal

thats all cool but there still is a weapon like so and i think it would be a good thing to have because the enemy can here u pretty well in the game when u are a sniper firing off some rounds.

Watch that vid up until very end. First shots were fired with a subsonic ammo, which only made the noise of the shell being ejected (basically), once he shot a normal round, he was knocked almost breathless and the noise of the shot was very loud.

Please watch that vid up until very end, again.

Re: silenced sniper rifal

Silencers doesn't make the rifle go "zip" like in Hollywood. It's purpose is to hide the muzzleflash and to decrease the noise so that it won't damage your ears.

Would be nice though, the muzzle gives away your position easy. Can't remember if there is muzzleflashes on the snipers in-game, I usually play on low/off-settings.

Yes there are, which is why I never fire at a target when it's staring in my direction. With a clean headshot you will still reveal your position if he looks your way because of the flash. Hence I let him look down or turn away and then fire.

Also, there isn't any silenced snipers in the game because that would make the snipers overpowered. In the hands of an able player, snipers are powerful enough as is.
If you want to be silent, use the silenced pistol.

first off the first vid states

This video is the AW Covert -Jet Suppressor
with 16.1 inch barrel. The ammo used was .180 grain
subsonic followed by .185 grain Lapua full pressure rounds.
The magazine was loaded alternating the ammo listed above
to show the comparison of subsonic and supersonic ammo
being used in the same weapon.

key word being alternating, so the second and third are full power loads while the rest are subsonic. have you ever shot a 308, actually been near the muzzle blast? the shooter is not even wearing ear protection. so with the target being some distance away what do you think he will hear? or see since most gasses are contained and vented at a slower rate then without a suppressor? when using full power rounds there is no way around the sonic boom created as a projectile surpasses the speed of sound. rather it will sound that the round is being fired from a ninety degree angle as opposed from where the round originated. i could explain more about the subject but if your that interested im sure you could look it up.

Re: silenced sniper rifal

Well back to the issue....
Its an ok idea...ive suggested elsewhere that i think it would be fair to give sniper guns enough power to kill in one body shot.
And allthough ive not played for more than a month i dont see how snipers can be regarded as "overpowered"
I'm doing well if ive scored 30 points while medics and tank so and so's get 100+ points.
So yea...a silencer might give us a few more points per round extra...No big deal is it?

Re: silenced sniper rifal

Its got nothing to do with realism...if i had a silenced sniper rifle it would double my score.

Re: silenced sniper rifal

Ok lets get this straight. supressed rifles ARE used in combat but they are not that pratical as the reduce power, acuracy and range and if they are supressed there is still the small cloud of smoke. A supressed smokeless rifle takes 2.5 seconds to travel 700 meters so its impratical so most of the time with some exceptions NON-supressed rifles are used in combat

Re: silenced sniper rifal

Whats the point with SD weapons in BF2? When you hit someone, it gaves them the "red thing" on the screen so they realize which direction the damage is coming from..? This happens also with the SD pistols, right?

Re: silenced sniper rifal

having been in the british army for a number of years and taking my sniper course i can tell you that a sniper does not need a silenced rifle a good sniper will always have a number of fallback points from his killing position so when playing the game i suggest to you know the terrain of each map make mental notes of where you are in relation to the enemy and where is the best point to fall back to if your new try not to take distance shots till you get your confidence with the weapon your using up observe enemy positions all the time use your scope to look at key people anti tanks other snipers and so on never make a stupid shot always utilise your camo and for god sakes EA put the accuracy international in the game the sweetest of sniper rifles
