RS Arisaka Type 38 and 99 - what's the difference?

[Fruchtschnitzel]

Hey,
I've got a question about those 2 guns. What are the anvantages/disadvantages of the 2 two guns - compared to each other?

 

[gattocake]

38 bolts (and reloads?) faster, while the 99 is more powerful.

It always seemed to me that the Type99 is much more inaccurate then the Type38 (ingmae) but this is completly subjective and maybe I just can't handle the sights

 

[apulaite]

Type 38:
Longer melee range
More accurate
Better muzzle velocity

Type 99:
Better damage
Monopod at lvl 50

Off the top of my head I remember the type 99 being precisly 50% more inaccurate than the type 38.

Not like it matters at these ranges. One thing is that I wish i could see how fast each rifle is bolted in the stats. There is no numerical value for it, it seems to be purely dictated by the speed of the animation.

Type 38 spread: 0.0001
Type 99 spread: 0.00015


The spread difference won't matter until very long range.

The difference between the two appears to be minimal. It is the sights that are most different.

I dislike the sight tick of the 38 due to the fact that it is so short. I miss more often with this than the K98, Type 99, or Mosin-Nagant.

I prefer the sights on the Type 38. I find that the aperture on the 99 makes is a pain to hit moving targets at longer ranges (~100m).

I also like the type 38. it's also longer, it helps with your pointy stick range

Type 99 spread: 0.00015

That difference will never matter. 0.0001 is 0.36 moa and 0.00015 is 0.54 moa. They are beyond extremely accurate; for a properly aimed shot to miss, you'd have to shoot at a range of over 3700m (and as we know most maps will only go up to 200m.)

For comparison a real Battle Rifle may shoot 2-4 moa, making their "accurate" range usually around 800m.

 

[Lolz0r]

Type 38 5,7mm (might be wrong with the exact caliber)
Type 99 7,7mm

Actually the type 38 is in 6.5mm arisaka.

Actually the type 38 is in 6.5mm arisaka.

i knew i had it wrong, thanks for correcting

The Type 38 also has lower incidence rates of muzzle flash, if I recall correctly. I know RST made the Japanese rifles produce less flash for balance's sake, but I don't know if they made this particularly pronounced on the 38 or both rifles.

Both of the rifles have pistol muzzleflash. It isn't that less visible though.

on long-range the 99 tends to shoot a bit to the left. that's how i feel it is...when i deliberately try to shoot a point besides a head i get a head shot ( noticeable over 140+ meters )
