Gunslinger Perk - Yes or No?

[Azukki]

If gunslinger only gets one new weapon, it should definitely be a revolver, chambered to something "more powerful" than .50 AE, to fill the tier 3 role. I think the OP's got it right going with the typical option, a monstrous, shiny S&W 500, fitting the role perfectly. Maybe with a scope or reflex sights, but that might delve too far back into Sharp Shooter territory, and/or look ugly. My main point though, is that making the revolver weaker than .50 AE doesn't fit the needed role.

Also, if I remember correctly, the HC-specific ammo pick-up wasn't made by TW themselves, it was part of a third party mod/map, so that wouldn't be reliable, since the source isn't TW. I think it's safe to assume that the squad members know what their guns are chambered in, 50 caliber fun time, and that the mag capacity is unrealistic for gameplay purposes.

Alucard's guns use .454 Casull? See I told you it's a good round.

So... Raging Bull?

.454 Casull would be awesome, but if there is a revolver with .454 Casull that doesn't look so damn modern, I would be in favour of it. If not, then I suggest that the modern one is made to look "classic."

EDIT (plus a 3rd EDIT!) :

Nevermind, I found one!

Spoiler!

And another!

Spoiler!

A variation/editing of these would be a good idea, if applicable.

Spoiler!

Also, that's the RAGING BULL with a slightly more classic/unique look!

Honestly, I don't care what it looks visually, as long as it resembles a revolver. There's no need to recreate a RL revolver, just add a generic one.

When it comes to the revolver, I'm not too interested in the actual model. Just the style!

Exactly. As long as it has the barrel, and sounds awesome, then I'm happy

BTW, do we have any coders around'ere? It'd be awesome if someone could create a mutator to test the perk. Sadly, I have no idea how to do it myself.

from what I have heard, the ammo came from the game itself unless you can show that its mod made. all the guns in the game (without any perks involved) have magazine capacities appropiate of what the gun usually comes with. they get weird magazine counts because of the perks happen to make them that way, not because TWI thought it would make sense to make a 37 round magazine for the ak47.

Why is it so outlandish for people to think its in .44 magnum? if anything .44 magnum is better for the situation in the game. its almost just as strong as .50 AE, it has less recoil, the round is more common as well as cheaper, its more accurate and it has a bullet more in the magazine.

Finish the current perks before adding any new ones, classes with only one or two class-specific weapons need the work more.

Bullpup with 40 round STANAG magazine?

It's because Desert Eagle is famous for being the very few semi-auto pistols that can take .50AE. .44 pistols are far more common.

No one likes being the second biggest, who remembers the name of the second person on the moon?

Bullpup with 40 round STANAG magazine?

yep a 40 round STANAG magazine. heres a link for a picture of 10, 30, and 40 round magazines for STANAG and a set for the ak47. 40 round magazines are not uncommon as you think. I have seen them personally. They are common in military use, but most countries would make 40 round magazines illegal so its hard for civilians to get them. Although seeing how the trader has most likely looted dead soldiers bodies from the cities, she would get her hands on these.

I know it is, but you just can't say its .50 AE because you want it to be, maybe TWI gave up mixed messages. but if it has 8 rounds without any perk changing its ammo capacity, and the ammo I have found is .44 magnum, and that I know of is from the game and not from modded content usually is a strong suggestion that its .44 magnum, even if the voice actors say otherwise.

Is it hard to create a new perk through a mutator? :/

 

[Temstar]

I'm not saying 40 STANAG doesn't exist, but it's hardly standard issue in military and the bullpup certainly doesn't look like it's got one in the game.

You can't use a mutator alone to create it, you need custom classes and the additional perk. Its actually very hard to do via mutator...

So can it be made? How do you create this "custom classes" thingy? D:

I know but it apparently has one, why is it TWI ****ed up on the smaller details?
