Battlefield 1 - scout rifle reload animations vs real life

[@NTArmaments]

This video doesn't have the Russian 1895, Gewehr M.95, Martini-Henry, Vetterli-Vitali, or the Ross MkIII because I don't own them yet. When I do eventually get my hands on some of these rifles, I will probably upload an updated version of this video.

The only nitpick I have about the Lee Enfield animation is you can't really flick a Enfield charger out like that, in reality you usually have to pull them out or they fall out on their own after the last bullet goes in the magazine. I actually tried to replicate the animation with my Lee Enfield to see if it was possible and the closest success was it plopping into the magazine.

​@@929Finn Totally possible actually. I was able to do it all the time with a 1934 91/30 Finnish Captured Tula. Just kinda made sure to really put pressure in the thumb and really nose the cartridge up. Don't touch the clip mind you. It helps to keep your hand towards the case neck and bullet. I lift the nose with the crux of my index, and align my thumb parallel to the case body, then push down as hard as I can. The clip then just pops out like in battlefield. Worked about 85% of the time.

[@Mr.Spade1]

Yeah, I would have preferred that in the full animation they could have both stripper clips in their hand, pull out the first one and then push the second one out with the bolt.

[@MissKay1994]

I know with the M1903 you have to pull the clip out because it prevents the bolt from closing, so yeah it's the same on the M1917

Man BF 1 just have so many little details, that just makes the game so fucking good. The fact, that they hold onto the rounds in the magazine, when reloading a loaded riffle. The Lebel, the soldier actually cycles the bolt twice to get a round in the chamber. The bolt-action riffles are well represented. And just the details of the guns, just perfect. BF 1 is by far the best modern triple A "historical" shooter. Yes there's also a lot of experimental guns, that never saw service, but they still managed to make them look really good and realistic, and behave like you would expect. And the planes and tanks and ships are just awesome. Every time you face a tank without any anti tank weapons, you understand the fear the Germans must have felt at Flers. The only thing kinda missing, is submarines, but it's understandable, but it could have been so fucking epic as a single player mission to be in a German WW 1 sub as Arnauld de la Perière, the most successful sub commander in history with 450 thousand tonnage sunk.

[@ZoltanMarossy]

[@ic3olate]

@@linkfreeman1998 Battlefield has been multiplayer centric since the very first release in 2002, dude. Battlefield 1942's "campaign" was just multiplayer maps with bots on them and it was like that for every game until Bad Company. I understand where you're coming from and absolutely would not mind a Bad Company 3 and would play it, but that's a spinoff and should remain so. I just don't think it's fair to say multiplayer itself has "infected" Battlefield when that was the original focus of the series all along. Unfortunately multiplayer TRENDS have indeed infected it, you could see the early signs in 5 and then 2042 completely dropped the ball on everything. I really hope Battlefield gets back on track, the older games truly are some of my favorite games of all time.

Battlefield 1 was my first, at the time, next generation console game I played. I miss those days. While I didn't get to see the glory days of bf3, bf1 was my bf3.

[@KamichamaTechstarify]

Well it's always the case in 95% of all video games. The reload animations, even if you're a well trained soldier or alike, it's mostly too fast and often too smooth in heated situations. Especially as soon as you need to relaod, it seems the character you're playing already holding bullets or a mag in their hands and doesn't need to fetch out of the bag or alike. ( especially for the old age compared to nowdays where combat harnesses didn't exist) But that's the typical action game for you, it's not a hardcore tactical shooter after all. Sadly making the reload time obsolete because it's instandly over. Also those "cool" trick knack parts, like the part Mosin Part of 2:45 - 2:49 for example where the character just "chings" the speedloader out never is working either. It was already tested by some poeple, too. ___________________________________________ What I really like about this game, the gund sounds really sound powerful and loud, as real guns really do. - remembering back on playstaiton 2 era for the very first Call of Duty 1/2/3 games. I really hated those airsoft gunsounds xD

[@andymac4883]

It's funny how the only rifle that actually has a means to to knock the clip out with the bolt (or at least, the only one you demonstrated if any of the others could do so) is one of the rifles that _doesn't_ do so in the in-game reloads.

[@Valarius_J]

The unfortunate thing concerning Enfield .303 is that a lot of modern ammunition lack the beveled rim that the original ammunition had. And since they are rimmed cartridges, you tend to get rimlock from them unless you load the stripper clips one rim over the other instead of staggered like they should be. Sad times.

[@jonathanlewis453]

The instructed procedure is to load two up and three down in the stripper clip. Maybe you can explain why rounds 3 and 5 don’t bind in the magazine when the correctly filled stripper clip is emptied? The magazine platform has two levels to enable staggered charging of the magazine. The magazine platform is mounted on a “z” spring and the platform and rounds are always resting at an upwards incline. In other words, the rounds, when they rest against the back wall of the magazine at that attitude are not disposed to lock up at the rim. Factory ammunition came out of sealed containers with correctly loaded chargers in bandoliers and in this condition so far as I am concerned it is highly reliable.

[@Valarius_J]

@@jonathanlewis453 It's a simple case of modern PPU .303 ammunition not being capable of sliding past one another because of a lack of a beveled rim. Loading the stripper clips correctly with that ammo and some similar modern ammo reads to rim lock. There really isn't anything else to say.

[@jonathanlewis453]

Like putting cheap or bad parts into a 50 year old car then. The Charger loading arrangement was an add-on to a C19th design and it was cranky, but bodging with non standard components represents the problem. There is a faint chamfer but no bevel on Govt ammunition.
