I often wondered, how it is for infantry to be killed by a PTRD-round.
Sure, when you're dead, you're dead...
But how does the impact of the bullet sound?
Is it massive? Or the same as an ordinary rifle-bullet?
Is it a messy death?
I'm not in a clan, so I can't simply ask a buddy to pick me off with a PTRD.
And I always play the Red side.
Yesterday, I was sniping with a PTRD at guys I located with my binoculars...they were hiding in bushes underneath trees, very far away on the left side of the map.
Maybe the map was Kryokovo?...I forgot.
According to this article, the bullet velocity was approx. 3320fps....= around 1010ms.
By memory, I think those guys I sniped, were close to 1km away...I was aiming at a few pixels, barely visible over my barrel.
All were 1shot-kills.
So there has to be a bang - louder than rifles anyway - and an impact almost a second later...and the bang arrives AFTER the bullet.
Who can recall getting killed that way? And how was it?
Btw, according to that same article, the PTRD was also used as a long-range sniping-rifle, in the Korean war.
