So this old mammoth is more "accurate" than a modern "sniper rifle" as you call it.
I never made the claim that semi autos were more accurate than bolt actions. I simply said that they were more versatile, doing better in more combat scenarious, rather than only excelling at long ranges. I'm not even really sure why you're arguing for bolt actions being better at range, since in this game no firefights of more than 300m are even possible, and the average firefight is usually 20-50m. You seem to have trouble keeping things relevant.
Why are you even bringing up Marksmanship contests? You keep saying your posts are "thoughtful and well thought out" but they're just you hitting ctrl-c/ctrl-v on wikipedia pages and posting all that irrelevant nonsense to the threads. Why is it RELEVANT that a bolt action is more accurate when at the ranges IN THE GAME the difference in accuracy would only be less than half an inch in groupings, if that? Every single gun in the game (barring shotguns) is PERFECTLY accurate to almost half a map away...
You keep making the mistake of thinking you're arguing for "how things are used in real life", and seem to constantly forget that this is a forum arguing for changes to a game. Every single argument you make begins with "But in real life...." when we're supposed to be giving feedback and suggestions on how to make it a more fun GAME.

@freddy-m he has deleted that topic about machine guns and special forces with all my(and two-three other guys) thoughtful and full explanation why he is wrong. I m sad. It was a beautiful article with loads of pictures and facts, spent, like, 40 minutes on it.
Well, I guess he realized that he was wrong. Who knows. Maybe that was shame, or rage...
Calling your own posts "thoughtful and full explanation of why he is wrong" is kinda like laughing at your own jokes, isn't it? For someone who likes to argue semantics "Suppressor vs Silencer" so much, the amount of grammatical errors in even that one sentence should be enough to give you pause. As to my "shame, or rage"... I think you overestimate the level of emotion I feel when providing feedback and suggestions to a game in Beta... But sure, If you need to vilify me and paint images of me "raging" to make talking shit about me in groups (like this thread has become) then so be it. I suppose I probably have red irises and horns on my head too, right? The only reason I ended that thread was because your "thoughtful explanation of why he was wrong" was just you arguing semantics "LMG vs GMPG" "Silencer vs Suppressor". It's not "well thought out" to just try to win arguments by saying "heh, look at this dummy, he says it's called Soccer when it's clearly called Football, bruv! hahaha what a tool!" Everything else you "thoughtfully" posted was just irrelevant data with no clear application to the thread other than to show "There are real people who exist that have put suppressors on their LMGs, so therefore you're wrong."
He also calls everyone, who he disagrees with, idiots.(or rather those who disagrees with him)
Citation please. I made ONE thread with "...Question the Devs intelligence" in the title and suddenly everywhere I go I'm accused of "calling everyone idiots" (pretty much only by you and Kean) I'd love for someone to show me an actual quote of me calling someone an idiot, instead of just this ongoing bullshit "He calls everyone idiots" lie... Also, "He calls everyone who he disagrees with idiots" could just as easily be applied to Kean or, you Jesus Man. I mean...the last two comments alone in this thread are entirely about me and how according to you everything I do and say is wrong... Practice what you preach, eh? Hard to believe a guy who names himself after Jesus and even goes so far as to make him his profile icon goes around badmouthing, shit-talking, and making things up about people he's had slight disagreements over game balance with...
It's also funny how you seem to find even the idea of me calling someone an "idiot" so offensive, yet don't seem to care when people you agree with call other people names or insult them.

Also, the idea I read earlier that "bolt actions" are antiquated and no longer used in modern militaries is both ignorant and false. ....but given the source, I'm not surprised.
Man you guys sure are getting high-and-mighty up in here. Basically turned this whole thread into a "Hate on Amurka" topic.
@kean_1 said in Marksman and Bolt actions:
You what the kicker is? .....he actually tried to call me out on "forum etiquette" for quoting his post(s) in some of my responses. Ironic, eh? He goes and deletes the whole thread in a final show of contempt toward everyone else who contributed to the discussion.
You basically quoted an ENTIRE comment (that was nearly as long as this one) just to type three sentences, when that comment was directly above (the most recent) yours! Quoting posts is supposed to be used to refer people to things that exist elsewhere to give context to what you're talking about. You don't NEED to do that if the comment your replying to is the most recent. Look, It's clear you have a huge hate-filled grudge against me, pretty much 50% of your comments in the last few days are just complaining about me... at least stop trying to pretend you have good reasons for it.
