Thanks, really helpful information.

Thanks guys for giving me the opportunity to prove myself.

Ghostly really know his stuff. I think I can use some of his advice when I need to make game with gun stuffs. All I can get to know guns is Airsoft Guns, and it really lacks of recoil felt .

Just some addition, to help focusing when turning around, there are some equipment that help aiming when turning/moving. there are usually reflex sights(it's actually reflection sight, Idk why people called that), and laser sights. Aiming using diopter(front and rear sight) takes longer time because you have to align both sight and the target, while using reflex sight or laser sight, you most likely only need to put the reticle on target and shoot.

The first thing about realistic FPS game is reloading, in most FPS, you can reload all the time as long as you have spare bullets, and you can do it while running, that's silly, it take about 1 minutes to fill an empty 30-round clip, and you usually dont want to do that in the heat of battle.
Some realistic game use Magazine count, like Rainbow Six and OFP. When reloading, you swap your current mag(weteher it's empty or not) with another one in your pouch.

IMHO the most realistic FPS game is Operation Flash Point games...

Lazer sights help a little bit, but reflex sights are good but in a heavy fire-fight you dont have the time to even look down the sights, it is mainly point-and-pull and hope it hits something.

You are right about the rainbow six reloading system, changing magzines when you have partially emptied a mag is called a tactical reload.


Operation flash point and Arma are based of the VBS1 simulator that the military uses.

LoL, shall we say "Spray and Pray"

BTW, I heard that a shot from 0.5 cal BMG can burst your blood vein, and even explode your heart, even if you're only hit in the arm or legs, is that true?

.50 BMG exploding hearts??
Mate I've heard heaps of .50cal myths. I can tell you that it's not possible for a heart to explode, they can rupture but not explode.

If a .50cal round hits you in the arm or leg it will rip it clean off and the person will go into shock , loose blood rapidly and die.

Most people die when hit by a projectile by what is called "hydrostatic shock"

I know if a large caliber (like for example 105mm) projectile flys past you (but it has to be VERY close, no more than 15-20mm) it can rupture blood vessels, just from the air pressure.

You definently know your stuff.

Why is it that NATO likes 5.56mm more than the 7.62mm rounds? What makes it more suitable round?

can you tell me anything about the lewis machinegun? i need it for a current game i am making.

NATO likes the 5.56mm more than 7.62mm because the 5.56mm is lighter than the 7.62mm, so you can carry more.

But the 5.56mm lacks the stopping power of the 7.62mm ,so it takes 2-3 rounds for a 5.56mm to do same job as the 7.62mm does with 1 round.
