Winchester .44 magnum rifle

Recommended Posts

Winchester .44 magnum rifle is available at http://safariofp.sphosting.com

It is a replica of the model 1892 fixed-magazine hunting/sporting rifle with modern scope.

If all goes well a pack with several 1800-era rifles is made, Henrys, Winchesters, Spencers etc. These would of course be of interest only for those who don't need a mayhem of full-auto fire smile_o.gif

tried it out and it works good so far. The only issue I have at the moment is the recoil, seems a little excessive for a rifle firing a pistol round. Also I would add a little bit of code to also have a unit listed under side resistance:

class W1892Hunter2: W1892Hunter

{

side=2;

This just tells the game that you have an identical unit but that it is side resistance.

Any plans on making some more good unscoped rifles? Shooting with optics is not enough of a challenge in ofp.

Yes unscoped rifles are at the list, many of those who gave feedback wished them. It is true 1800-era guns rarely had any scopes. I only need to figure out correct accuracy, or rather unaccuracy, so one could not hit targets too far away.

About the sounds, they're quite wrong in v1.0. I have now actual report, cartridge insertion and lever-sounds so they will be in v1.1. Recoil will be reduced and cycling of the lever more rapid, based on the feedback from those who have the IRL gun.

I was planning to do Henry rifle next, which was the predecessor of Winchester family. Old revolvers like Colt Dragoon would also be nice.

Dunno why 1800-era guns are of interest to me, maybe coz there are so many modern weapons already in OFP.

Very nice weapon, I look forward to v1.1 and a version without a scope  smile_o.gif

Would the Henry rifle you are planning on doing be the Martini-Henry by any chance?

*Edit

Just found a pic of a Remington with a mounted scope, they've come a long way since then wink_o.gif
