Can someone please make a compilation of him slapping the bolt shut? There has to be so many clips of that.

[@OmairArif]

One nice touch in Cod4 was that if you took the MP5 and M9 in your loadout, they actually shared ammo. Now you have Warzone where all assault rifles share the same ammo.

[@MrEightythix]

MW2019 does, different guns with the same ammo type share

[@mcjelloman-1158]

Actually I think almost every Infinity Ward game does that. Even their newer ones.

[@bluemarvel5970]

Dude made an interesting point but was very incorrect. Several cod games do this.

[@polycontrast2784]

I worked on this one, I was one of the vehicle artists, we made all the art from scratch, weapons and vehicles were given extra love, we just used the original models as a general reference but nothing more. Glad Jonathan likes it! I visited the Royal Armouries museum in Leeds some years ago, really cool place!

You guys did an amazing job man. I’m a huge gun enthusiast/nerd and combat vet of the 82nd 1st/504th and given the source material you guys truly did a phenomenal job.

It's kinda funny - the MP5 in Modern Warfare does have the slap animation, but it's only when it's first drawn from your secondary weapon slot or picked up, as a 'prepping' animation.

[@Cpt_Katsuragi]

In MW2019? Yes, that's true. But your also do the slap when the magazine is completely depleted of ammo. I think it's because if you do the animation when the mag is not empty, then you're wasting a round.

[@stormdesertstrike]

@@Cpt_Katsuragi MW2019 Non empty reload animation is incorrect.

[@stormdesertstrike]

@@Cpt_Katsuragi pulling the charging handle to the back when there is still a round in chamber is incorrect, therefore you lose a round.

in the OG MW? no, MW2/3 were the first MW games to have the slapping animation as a weapon draw animation

[@240pixel]

even though I don't see it modeled in this game, but when I had my G36 issued in Lithuanian armed forces ours had paddle release extension that runs in parallel to the trigger guard similar to HK pistols and is there for you to use the trigger finger to drop the magazine. And yes .50 BMG can remove limbs. Especially if you hit them in the joint. temporary cavitation does the rest.

To answer why the Winchester, it was used in military service by the US from 92 until 2006. Though even during those times Mossberg 590A1's and Remington 870 MCS shotguns were more common. I recall reading it was used by the SAS as well for a brief time but can't seem to source that information. For the M16A4, in multiplayer it is the correct 3 round burst, Campaign mode had a few odd changes compared to MP. Such as the G3A4 being full auto in Campaign but multiplayer it was semi automatic only which would be more true to form and usage.

Like with Cars, that .50 BMG round has so much power and energy behind it that it can punch through degradable covers, walls, and helicopters. As it was demonstrated to be capable of if the soldier using it is in that scenario. But yeah that second clip of it, big eyebrow raise. That guy in reality would be on the ground incapacitated from a .50 BMG in the back or fatally wounded

Comments re- long range are spot on. 2007 era m40 are Unertl 10x. Not represented in teh game but the A3 did use an internal magazine. The Current version is the M40A6, which originally used the A5s PM2 3-12x50, but you would often see the PM2s switched out for the ATACR 5-25s from the MK13 Mod 7s. Mod 7s were seen as a prepared capability, where as the A6s were seen as a rapid deployment capability. The TeMR3 Reticle on the ATACR is preferred to the gen 2 mil dot on the 3-12 so even though the M40A6 only had a 20" barrel, the ATACR provided a lot more visibility, capability and target confirmation vs the 3-12s

[@xthetenth]

For the 50 cal section: There are plates that can stop .50 cal fire. They were made for helicopter pilots and because of their size and bulk are very infrequently seen. So a person running on the ground taking a .50 to the plates is going to take a bullet through the torso. A human torso can be approximated very roughly as 18 inches wide and 36 inches tall give or take. That's .6 mils wide by 1.3 mils tall. My Leupold Mk 5 HD maxes out at 18x magnification and at that magnification there is the barest hint of the tenth mil row, so the field of view is about 20 mils in diameter. Zakhaev is way too tall in that scope image, he should be 6.5% the height of the overall scope view, though the scope may just have a very narrow field of view. Fun thing, I have to zoom out a decent bit to engage targets past 1000 yards with that scope with 5.56 if I'm not able to take the time to dial drop. On an old mil dot reticle that'd be his torso a bit taller than the gap between the crosshair and the first marking, so he shouldn't be taller than the crosshair to the third hash mark below it.
