This game really does justice to a lot of weapon types, the shotguns have realistic range, The MGs will penetrate 95% of all cover, and the sniper rifles, as another user adequately put it, “feel like you’re shooting through the enemy’s entire ancestry tree.”

@@fen3311 In real life MGs and Snipers have bigger bullets that travel at greater velocity. Most rifles have bullets the length of a finger, but a Sniper can have a bullet the length of an entire hand. This is because Snipers and MGs generally sit in one spot as their job is to provide cover for the rest of the team, sacrificing mobility for firepower.

Contrary to popular belief, shotgun spread is actually quite low meaning you can shoot much further irl than in most games

[@markorsrpska7230]

Shotgun range is influenced by a barrel choke, except for a slug . Most combat shotguns have open choke so spread and range is a issue .

[@somedud1140]

Contrary popular belief, it doesn't take 4+ hits to the center mass from an assault rifle to kill a person, yet that's what we see in most games.

[@ironleeFPS]

Shotguns have about 100m effective range depending on ammo (slugs vs bird shot) if you watch the latest Garand Thumb video where he tests this very subject.

[@DoritoWorldOrder]

Yep. It has always irked me as a gun guy to see "realistic" videogames treat shotguns as if their projectiles magically disappear after like 20 feet. 100m is a bit of a stretch as far as real-world "effective" range for typical buckshot... but if you're lucky enough to land one or more pellets in your target at that distance given how wide the pattern will have become at that distance, they'll still be carrying enough energy to have terminal effect similar to .32acp FMJ fired out of a handgun at point blank range, which is definitely enough to kill someone if a vital structure is hit. Assuming a typical combat shotgun with an 18-20" barrel and cylinder choke, even as far as 50m you'll start to have your patterns open up such that you'd be lucky to land half the pellets on a man-sized target, however that's still like taking 4 or more shots in the torso from a light handgun all at the same instant... most likely going to be pretty devastating to an unarmored target. It's very refreshing to see games like this one treat buckshot more realistically in terms of performance at range, although where Sandstorm falls flat on its face with shotgun realism is that in reality even light body armors would reliably stop buckshot pellets at any range and yet in this game they seem to have been granted the magic ability to zip right through even heavy rifle-rated body armor plates and grant one-hit kills against targets they'd be utterly ineffective on except for a lucky pellet hitting someone in the face or neck.

[@bloodycrepe]

@@DoritoWorldOrder agreed with everything you said. I think ir0n was referring to slugs range being up to 100m. Although that's a stretch as well as slugs are not that accurate at that distance. The other issue I have is how slow pump action is in the games. Insurgency emulates it better than other games (Escape from tarkov is extremely slow for example). I can personally cycle remington 870 action just a tad slower than most of semi auto shotguns do.

[@bloodleader5]

@@DoritoWorldOrder Buckshot wouldn't be able to penetrate a Level II plate, and even most slugs would be stopped by that, but you have to take into account the blunt force trauma that comes as a result of being hit with an ounce or more of metal going over 1000 feet a second. Even pistol shots against light armour cause serious bruising, and can sometimes fracture bones or hemorrhage organs if the hit is square enough and in an unfortunate place. Taking nine pellets to the chest, one could expect to suffer shattered ribs or a collapsed lung if they aren't lucky, and a solid enough hit over the kidney, heart, or liver can incapacitate someone even if there's no internal injury, which is why those were targets in old school boxing. A slug would only be even worse, since the force is concentrated on a single object that can't be deflected... we're talking over 100 ft-lb/s of momentum, which is like being hit by a sledgehammer. 5.56 NATO is more on the order of 25 ft-lb/s, with 7.62 NATO coming in around 60. It's still well more than enough to put someone out of the fight even without making a wound cavity. I certainly wouldn't want to be hit with that even behind Level III... IV might resist deformation enough to prevent severe injury, but having the wind knocked out of me and being physically pushed backward by the weight of the impact would probably make it hard to stay on my feet and keep fighting. Also, I could swear I remember it taking 2-3 shots from any shotgun to drop someone in heavy armour in Insurgency. Plenty of scary point blank fights. Was that changed in Sandstorm?

[@bloodleader5]

@@bloodycrepe Yeah, video games have always had an annoying "balancing" thing where they pretend that you have to sustain the entire recoil impulse and get back into a perfect shooting stance before you can actually pull the pump back. It doesn't make any sense. Shoot > recover from recoil > cycle > recover from recoil again > shoot. Why is it two actions? Pullracking is an easy technique and an experienced shooter can hold the muzzle down pretty well since the rearward force helps - you can lose a lot of accuracy, but at the range you're using a shotgun you can be off by 10 MOA and still get a glancing hit, so if you just need to shoot fast it's really no loss.

Noice! Another game I play that has a realistic shotgun is Rising Storm 2 Vietnam. Good shotguns, several variants, can kill a guy even up to 50m and some more. As a player I recommend for new players and some oldies that want some casual: M16, cheapest gun, versatile, just works, burst is sometimes all you need. The better M16 is the a4 since you can slap better sights, my first try hard loadout used an M16A4, OKP-7 2x magnification, flip sights to get the carrier sights off, aiming grip, extendo mag, sidearm of one choosing and the rest whatever you desire. You can put a smoke launcher on the damn thing for pushes. Smoke is important, you can smoke the enemy, denying them line of sight and making them cough, giving some intel for your guys. AKM and AK-74: Simple, a classic, little in modifications needed, sights are honestly just fine, but if you need optics, you can slap some good optics on. AK-74 a bit more versatile, with better optics, smoke launcher( haven't checked if the AKM has it) and under-barrel attachments. Can roleplay like a Spetnaz or Republican guard(AKM probably for the latter) The AUG and G36: AUG is the slower firing gun, G36 the faster counterpart, their factory sights, 1.5 magnification is actually good, can use the optics or the iron sights on them for close quarters. Do prefer the G36 since faster fire rate and the option for Single, Burst and Full auto fire. Burst or tap firing is honestly preferred since you want to waste as less ammo as possible and not stay to long, gun fire is a diner gong in this game. I mentioned only riflemen, since you probably are gona get just that class, but if you can get advisor, I recommend AKU-74, the short AK-74. It's just good. If you get your hands on gunner in PVP, recommend the Galil, basically an assault rifle, just have to put the drum and you good. Edit: Also, M16'S CHURCH RULES! M4'S DRULE!

[@nope6921]

A simple roblox game called "phantom forces" had shotguns where adding "long barrel" attachments and speacialized ammunition like slugs or flechette will make it possible for you to kill enemies nearly 300 - 400m (pretty much the whole map). also the usual buckshot or "default" ammunition can also kill at those ranges but with more spread as opposed to the flechette munitions.

[@Tucher97]

That reminds me, Black mesas also has a semi realistic shotgun, so it was great for anything at actual medium range or anything that flies. Before you start, no the shotgun in halo is not that great, it is a melee weapon that uses ammo.

[@anatolydyatlov963]

Why don't other FPS games have screams and cries? It adds so much depth

[@shaeisgae8952]

I had a mod for the og insurgency that added more screams and stuff, so sometime when you killed someone they'd take a minute to die (you could shoot the ragdoll and it would cut off the sound as well, so mercy kills became a thing) mixed with more realistic gun/explosion sound mods, and a whole bunch of visual realism mods it made that game an insanely fun nightmare that got way too real lol

[@eXJonSnow]

"The shotguns are so realistic." Tiny suppressor turns the gunshots into moderately loud sneezes. Having longer range than most FPS games is certainly more realistic, but suppression in military games is always way overdone.

[@griffinm9]

also buckshot and flechette rounds penetrating plate armor lol

[@chokonnit7337]

firstly, the shotgun suppressor is not a tiny suppressor. have you even seen it in game ? pretty sure the only larger suppressor is the burrito. also, the shot can be heard from like 60 or 70 meters away. it is only more silent to you for gameplay purposes, so people with headphones aren’t at risk of becoming deaf after playing the game for 2 minutes. is there anything i got wrong ?

[@huskosnow7091]

​@@chokonnit7337 You understood it

[@KimmOrwente]

Of course it is overdone for game balancing purposes, yet at least in insurgency you are getting: 1) shotgun suppressor which adds more than third of the length of the gun itself, and in CQB size matters a lot; 2) Both clanking of the gun and sound of impact are still very audible, but it is just harder to quickly pinpoint shooter's location. And during continuous firefights, booming sound of, let's say, AK shots can actually mask sounds of suppressed gun.

Remember when the game came out, and the shotgun and flechets (or what's the name) was insane, could one-shot at great distance and take out more then one dude. Still fun today, but not as OP as before.

[@CATELlegend1]

Well, there are two types of shotgun ammo i know of. One is that has many small spheres of lead which serves for spread, to knock up many targets. Another one consists in just one big ball of lead. That one can explode a head 12 meters away.

[@ysph]

they need to add a box mag shotgun on that game. a long time ago. i think they're avoiding it because it's too damn OP. the tubes are almost too much to deal with at times. makes me just want to use the badger.

They'd have to make it so you can't use flechette rounds on it or something because that would be absolutely broken

range on a shotgun very heavily deoends on the projectiles used! And whether it is a rifled or smoothbore shotgun. choke or no choke ?! birdshot or slugs ?! all these parameters greatly affect its efficiency from like 25 feet to well over 100 feet

shotguns are really powerfull with the modern ammo, but if the operator misses he is probably corpse, having an automatic rifle is much better in almost every situation because in real life two shots would just destroy people and injure them, the only thing is that there is a need to use short weapons that doesn't penetrate walls in order to keep everyone safe.

[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

This game reminds me why most shooters intentionally try to dehumanize your foes. When it feels like you're genuinely hurting people, it suddenly becomes a lot more difficult to enjoy. This is what makes The Last of Us 2 so intentionally difficult to play at certain points. Even basic grunts are programmed to feel extremely human, and giving every button press a great deal more weight.

Also reloading a pump action shotgun in a situation where you're engaging a lot of targets is not practical. Reloading is slow and having to charge the weapon every time doesn't make it a good weapon for combat. It is however a decent breaching method.

[@soksocks]

In a real life application, then yes. But this is a game, so irl logic doesn't have to apply wholeheartedly. It's really just variety and preferences for the player

Now suppressors just need to be realistic. Unless it’s subsonic rounds being use, you’d still hear that thing across the map.

I love that level of control over your fate, you either win by skill and tact or lose by lack thereof, it's probably why I became OK at this game way quicker than other shooters, those important learning moments. Can't say any of the same about the two most recent Battlefield titles...

Ironically those shotgun snipes you can get in this game feel basically identical to sniping the possessed soldiers with the shotgun in 1993 Doom. It's imprecise but with how squishy most humanoid demons were it usually only took one shot to down one or more even at mid to mid-long range.
