Rifle Won't Shoot

[iamesauce]

So, about half the time I aim at an enemy and click the left mouse button while in ironsights, my rifle decides it would be a great time to not shoot.

This has happened ~25-30 times now, and has resulted in me dying at least half of them.

....What the hell.

Happens to me to occasionally with the new patch. Double click with the rifle to ensure you get your shot for now.

 

[Mr.Light]

Do you have manual bolting on? Or are you forgetting to reload ( autoreload off ?)

 

[Screems]

I have the same problem, won't shoot on first click but on second it's fine.

Maybe you should have posted this in the bug report section?

 

[brennok]

I found this pretty regularly especially just after spawn.

 

[Derpus]

Yes, do you guys have manual bolting on or off?

 

[JohnKimble]

I was playing today on barracks and it was happening a lot. My rifle would be fulled loaded so bolting isn't and issue or ammo as i hadn't fired a round, I ironsight and click and nothing.

 

[NivX]

I've had this happen to me quite a number of times even before the patch and with smgs as well.

 

[iamesauce]

Nope, manual bolting is off. Reposting this is bug reports.

I've had this tons of times with an SMG too. I assumed it was some kind of weapon jam feature, but there's no sound notification.

I've got this problem with both rifles and Smg's, fairly annoying missing that wonderful shot you had lined up.

 

[iamesauce]

It's never happened with me when I use an SMG, so that's the only reason that I use them right now.

 

[Empty Box]

Had it happen to me today on the PPSh, had 3 Germans lined up and ready to die for their cause, but nope, nuthin. He casually pulls up his K98 and shoots me in the face.

Total realism feature. They didn't give me ammo as I wasn't expected to live long enough to shoot someone. Not sure why they gave me the gun then, but w/e.

I'm not sure why you can't dry fire the weapons in RO2.

Fire the last round in the mag, hammer cocks back during empty case extraction then get the dreaded dead-mans click on the next shot, right?

Also, anyone notice that sometimes on the SVT you either insert a 5 round stripper clip or toss the whole mag out? (sometimes after you just inserted a stripper clip )

I've been paranoia reloading my G41 and SVT all the time now, check and re-check to make sure the magazine is full msg pops up lol

 

[wikchi]

****ing this, also the auto reload is broken.

 

[Lucan946]

Yeah it's a bug. Happens to me occasionally, gets me killed frequently. Goddamn its annoying. You have to double click to get it to fire.

 

[jolorulz]

I've had this problem more so with the smg than the rifle. Since the rifle is long range, I'm not so bothered missing a shot; I can get it next time. The smg at close range when fully cocked and reloaded - that's what burns my @ss . It's happened so many times when I corner a guy and I'm about to shoot, the damn thing wont fire. Two or three seconds later, the guy clobbers me with his rifle/pistol and I'm dead.

 

[iamesauce]

Double click doesn't even work for me- I need to switch weapons then switch back and reload.

~7 second shot anyone?

 

[El_Ejcovero]

To be honest, it happens to me a lot, but only with the semi-automatic rifles... Its weird... And it happened to me a lot before this last update, so I guess the problem is still here after the update...

 

[OldRavenNL]

happens to me often.. with both bolt action and mg.
very annoying.
