    Quote[/b] ]On 21may66, i had the occassion to bump into a large number of NVA at very close range- 3- 15 yards. I shot one mortarman 6 times with my M14 at less then 10', all rounds in the chest. He emptied a magazine from his K50 at me without effect, and i shot him twice. He went down and i shot another guy, 2X in the chest and he went right down. The mortarman retrieved his K50 and started to get up, and i shot him 2x more to the chest. he went down and i shot another guy in the brain housing group- immediately effective. And the mortarman got up again. I fired two more into his chest, he went down again. I shot another guy in the side and he went down, and my first contact got up again- slowly, but probably very upset. I threw a frag on him and that ended the life of a very tough and motivated soldier.â€

    Bull.

    If you were hit in the chest six times, you wouldn't have a chest(Exageration) or there wouldn't be anything in your chest cavity. Six rounds to the chest would have probably put holes in every vital organ that resides in the chest.

    K50? Never heard of it. Ever.

    I would like to see realistic ballistics and damage rankings on small arms.

    The AK-47 is too powerfull and does not drop enought at range.  The 7.62x39 hadd mediocre wounding effects due to ist stable and non-fragmentary projectile.

    The FAL and G3 are too weak.  7.62 NATO weapons (nad the ballistically similar SVD Dragunov) should have good stopping stats over a great range.

    The M-16(and all other 5.56 weapons) should have very good stopping power at close range and progressively worse beyond 200m

    Same for the AK-74  The small caliber bullets can produce very nasty wounds due to the rapid instability of the 7N6 5.45 rounds and the fragmentary nature of most 5.56 ammo.

    Short barreled weapons such as the XM177 and AKS-74U should take a ~%20 performance hit in stopping power and in bullet drop.

    I have considerable knowledge in the ballistic and terminal effects of modern military weapons and would happily share that info with any interested modelers.

    Thats what I said. Mostly.

    The only contact I have had with 5.45x39mm ammo, showed me that it was a JHP round. If it weren't for the JHP, I can't see it doing much as it was so small, I laughed.

    Got to make a comment on the 1911 jamming debate.

    Quote[/b] ]M1911A1 jam?

    Bah, not with standard issue ball ammo...

    The colt 1911A1 is the second most reliable sidearm in the world.(The glock is first, but thats a piece of "Made in Taiwan" plastic junk). I have my very own colt 1911 and i haven't had a jam in over 500 rounds (And many of them had i made myself).

    I believe it took 3000 or 30000 rounds without malfuntions.

    AKS74U

    Although its actually an Assault rifle, its used like an SMG. Might as well be an SMG.

    Quote[/b] ]Rounds are NOT drastically affected in killing power by different weapons

    Take an M2 Browning and fire one shot at a BMP. Then take an M82A1 Barret and do the same. There will very likely be a difference in the dammage done.

    Theres also the M16A1. Rounds fired from it weren't exactly "stable" and could cause more dammage than the much more stable M16A2.

    I believe that the terrain being unlimmited, means you can make a map as big as you want/need. I'm fairly certain the "end of the map" would be the same as OFP1.

    Couple it with streaming terrain, and you could have a whole country I guess.

    Quote[/b] ]The basic data like damage, and base accuracy would be stored in the ammuntion file. This will allow all weapons to use 1 single point of reference for ammunition, so addon makers can easily create weapons of a certain caliber and have it in with existing weapons.

    Alot of the time, the weapon has alot to do with the dammage done. An example would be Ak47s and Submachine guns of the same caliber, or MMGs using cartridges like 7.62x51mm and 7.62x54R would probably do less dammage than sniper rifles of the same caliber.

    Since were on the subject(Sort of), it would be nice to have the range your shooting at make a difference on the dammage.

    I don't believe a human being has enough places for thirty pouches.

    Quote[/b] ]MAKAROV PM 9.5mm AUTOMATIC PISTOL

    I belive its a 9x18mm round. Not 9.5mm.

    And PLEASE give the M14 its proper dammage abilities. I've seen M14s in games that had the dammage capabilities of an M1 Carbine.
