Quote[/b] ]Ok, what are correct 10 bullet on a magazine or 11 ??

Ten is the maximum in a real magazine, but in combat the shooter can load the weapon with eleven total. But, to load eleven, the shooter must take the time to actually do it. So, it's really up to you. Personally, I'd go with eleven, but you might want to increase the time it takes to load a new magazine by three or four seconds, to simulate manually loadinng the eleventh round. .

Ok

But how do i make only one bullet reload in OFP ?? Without use a magazine slot.

No, just make it eleven rounds in the mag. Just increase the time to reload.

Hi

Sounds about right. These guys are supposed to be pros. But pros rarely rush.

Hi manhunter09

Yeah, but i have a idea. Can still use the secondary weapon slot, just change the anim and the way he hold his weapon. But i need a anim maker, hehe

What pistol type? One with SD or not?

Maybe you could chek this script for two rifles in a unit.

About the pistol, depends on what kind of sniping the sniper will be doing, but I would use the silenced one as standard, and let the mission maker give chance to the player to decide in the gear menu, he/she may prefer the extra power than silence.

Some time ago, somebody was trying to create a optical aid as a weapon, so the player would be able to have another choice for binoculars. It could be a set of binoculars or a spoting scope.

The idea was to use the hand gun or the secondary weapon slot, to have a weapon that would look like a binocular or monocular, with scripted animations. This way, the player could have a optic that can have a range finding reticle, like those used by tank comanders. Notice that I'm not refering to an electronic one but a reticle with marks , similar to a weapon scope.

I never got to know what the results of this experiment end up on.

If this could be done, it would be an excelent feature for this snipers.

Regards.

Hi @cero

Thanks for you info and that script

I was trying to do the same with the bioc.. and i made another bioc than the defalult BIS one, but the problem was, the "B" key used as standard key for the bioc in OFP did't work when i add my own Bioc, hehe

But i'm gonna try to make som new anim for the standard rocket luancher in OFP to behave like the standard positions as u use as primary weapon. Have to do something with the arms and the kneeing position the soldier use when they use the Secondary weapon (rocket luancher). I'm waiting some answare from anotherone about this idea, hehe

Thanks

A sniper isn't going to carry an M4 plus his rifle, no way, no how. You cant stalk in a ghillie suit, trying to remain invisible, and carry a weapon on your back. It's just not going to work. USMC and Army snipers use a pistol for self defence. They'll also be carrying at least two frags, and two smoke, or WP grenades.

If this is a USMC scout sniper, he'll be equipped with an MEU SOC .45 ( probably a Kimber ), or, an M9. The weapon would also be equipped with a light, and a suppressor.

If it's an Army sniper, he'd carry the MK23 SOCOM pistol, or the M9.

The observer is the guy armed with an automatic weapon, because he's supposed to protect the guy carrying the bolt-action rifle. He may also have an M203 with a dozen M433 HEDP rounds, and a C-mag, or multiple mags connected together. His M4 will also be equipped with an ACOG, or AN/PVS-17 night sight, an AN/PEQ-2 SOFLAM, a suppressor, and a bipod. The observer also carries a pistol ( MEU SOC .45 SD, MK23 SD, or an M9 SD ) equipped with a LAM, and a suppressor.

Now, once the US military adopts a PDW, like the HK MP-7, you might see a sniper carry that and a rifle, IF it can be carried in tactical thigh holster. But so far, I've only seen the MP-7 carried in a chest holster, and because the sniper lives on his belly, that's just not going to work.

The rule has always been that the greatest defense for a sniper is stealth. If that defense should fail, and the team is compromised, they must fight it out and escape and evade. They can't dig in and engage in a lengthy firefight, and because the often work in secrecy behind enemy lines, they can't hope they'll be rescued either. What they can expect is a VERY painful interogation, torture, and death if they are captured.

Hi FerretFangs

Lots of nice info here

Well i did't mean the sniper are gonna carry another rifle. I was thinking about the observer, use the secondary weapon slot with a spotter scope.

It's only was an idea to carry to weapons, hehe

But i'm gonna do something with the secondary weapon slot and change the anim to fit a spotter scope or something for the observer

But i'm gonna add a pistol to the sniper soon

btw, what distance should the sniper use the pistol? From 0 - 100 meters or 0 - 50?

btw, M9 is't that one the standard BIS pistol?

Yeah, a spotter scope or laser rangefinder/target designator for the secondary slot on the observer is probably one of the most important things this pack might have.

These guys are trained to use pistols accurately out to 25m, but up to 50m is within their capability. Unfortunately, the combat perfomance of the .45 ammo isn't very good at ranges beyond that. They also are trained for CQB with their sidearm, as a means of removing sentries, clearing a building/structure they'll be shooting from, or defending a building/structure from the enemy. Emphasis is placed on silent killing, with a suppressor, or a blade.

And yes, the M9 is standard for OFP. I'd probably equip the sniper with the .45, either a 1911-style, or the MK23 SOCOM. I don't know who's got a suppressed 1911-style, but you might check the SJB pistol pack. INQ has a nice MK23, or the try the Laser Weapon Pack. But remember, they should be equipped with a suppressor, and a LAM.

I'd equip the Observer with an M9 SD w/LAM.

Hi

Ok, sounds great

I'm gonna take a look on those packs

Thanks:)

btw.... hehe what is LAM?

Maximus-Sniper

[FerretFangs 0]

Laser Aiming Module

[FerretFangs 0]

Ah, perfect. This pic is a little small, but this is a .45 MEU SOC SD. w/taclight. This is what you want for a Marine sniper.

And of course, the Mk23 SOCOM SD w/LAM. Its one bad hombre!

Hey, just watched the video of the 'cottage'. And it seems that the cottage or the sniper is a vehicle ? Because of the fuel and armour gauge on the top left.

Sorry if this has been explained or if its obvious and i'm just being a div.

[FerretFangs 0]

Yeah, it was explained.

[Maximus-Sniper 0]

Hi FerretFangs

Woow, lot of nice handguns

I like this one special

or this one

Beretta 92F SD

I'm gonna see what i can do

Maximus-Sniper

[FerretFangs 0]

Yeah thats the Kimber ICQB .45 w/Surefire light module, and a Gemtech suppressor. Units that specialize in CT CQB, like the USN DEVGRU/SEAL Team 6, and the Army's SFOD-D often carry one or more Kimber .45's. Delta assaulters carry two.

This is perfect for a USMC sniper. And if you did one like this, it would be the first for OFP.

[FerretFangs 0]

The lower one is the Baretta M9 with GemTech suppressor.

This is likely what the observer would carry.

At your service, sir.

What's funny is, I wasn't in the Army. I grew up as a military brat. My dad did twenty years in the Air Force. After I left home, I served four years in the Navy back during Desert Storm. Now, my wife and brother are in the Air Force, and both will likely retire. My brother is a crew chief and flight mechanic for USAF SOCOM. My wife is a medic, soon to be a doctor.

All my knowledge is from what I've read, seen, and heard from thirty years of life in or around all the various branches of the US military. But, as you might be able to tell, I've read, heard and seen a lot. Weapons, tactics, and the history of war is my favorite subject of books and games.

The .45 is better than the Berreta, so do that one.

[FerretFangs 0]

They both bring their own capabilites and issues to the table.

The standard .45 round is subsonic without the suppressor, so it's naturally a little quieter. And within 50 meters, it hits like a a ton of bricks. If you hit a unarmored man in the chest with a .45 slug, it will knock his dick in the dirt. Period, full stop. Even if the target is wearing armor, the guy KNOWS he's been shot, and may still be incapacitated. Terminal ballistics in the .45 have been shown to be extremely lethal, usually causing hydrostatic shock, and severe bloodloss. Even hits to the extremities such as the upper arms, thigh and buttocks often cause death prior to medical treatment being applied. So basically, being shot with a .45 is about as much fun as being hit by a speeding car.

Some disadvantages of carrying a .45, is a lower ammo capacity, a rather pronounced recoil, and they tend to be a bit large, and heavy.

The M9 on the other hand, fires a transonic 9mm round, and therefore, is more accurate, and has better range. This being said, if you want to signifcantly decrease the wepon's noise signature, the weapon must be fitted with a suppressor that slows the round down to subsonic speed. This decreases follow-up shot accuracy, range, and due to lower velocity, subsequently decreases lethality. It may take two or more hits to the target's body to incapacitate him, and they usually won't knock a man down.

That said, a hit to an unarmored target's center mass from a full-velocity 9mm is likely going to cause a grievous wound, and should promptly result in fatality.

Other advantages of the 9mm, is a higher ammo capacity, ( For the M9, it's a full 15+1. ) a lighter recoil, producing tighter shot grouping out to 25m, and the frame tends to be lighter, and more compact.

This is why it's best for the sniper/observer team to carry both weapons. The observer must defend the pair when stalking, and during escape and evasion, so he should be carrying the high-capacity M9 as a last-ditch. close-range personal defence weapon.

The sniper should have the .45, because its much more affective for sentry removal, and CQB work. He would be tasked with silently taking out troops with the .45, while the observer covers with his M4.
