Weapon Balistics...

Recommended Posts

Anyone know where I can find the files for editing/veiwing bullet drop for all of the weapons in arma? I want to start with the long range rifles.

The ballistics curve is calculated in real time from the speed, cosine angle and drag coefficient of the ammunition (against gravitational acceleration obviously). There isn't a hard data table for ballistic drop.

To change the ballistic curve you have to change various ballistic parameters in cfgAmmo (airFriction - does what it says on the tin really), cfgMagazines (initspeed - analogous to muzzle velocity) and cfgWeapons (dispersion - analogous to internal ballistics of the weapon and how they affect muzzle dispersion)

There's a nice little script for letting you observe the ballistic curve of ammunition:
